Class XMap

java.lang.Object
  org.nuxeo.common.xmap.XMap

public class XMap
extends Object

XMap maps an XML file to a java object.

The mapping is described by annotations on java objects.

The following annotations are supported:

• XObject Mark the object as being mappable to an XML node
• XNode Map an XML node to a field of a mappable object
• XNodeList Map an list of XML nodes to a field of a mappable object
• XNodeMap Map an map of XML nodes to a field of a mappable object
• XContent Map an XML node content to a field of a mappable object
• XParent Map a field of the current mappable object to the parent object if any exists The parent object is the mappable object containing the current object as a field

The mapping is done in 2 steps:

• The XML file is loaded as a DOM document
• The DOM document is parsed and the nodes mapping is resolved

Constructor Detail

XMap

public XMap()

Creates a new XMap object.

Method Detail

getValueFactory

public XValueFactory getValueFactory(Class type)

Gets the value factory used for objects of the given class.

Value factories are used to decode values from XML strings.

Parameters:

type - the object type

Returns:

the value factory if any, null otherwise

setValueFactory

public void setValueFactory(Class type,
                            XValueFactory factory)

Sets a custom value factory for the given class.

Value factories are used to decode values from XML strings.

Parameters:

type - the object type

factory - the value factory to use for the given type

getScannedObjects

public Collection<XAnnotatedObject> getScannedObjects()

Gets a list of scanned objects.

Scanned objects are annotated objects that were registered by this XMap instance.

getRootObjects

public Collection<XAnnotatedObject> getRootObjects()

Gets the root objects.

Root objects are scanned objects that can be mapped to XML elements that are not part from other objects.

Returns:

the root objects

register

public XAnnotatedObject register(Class klass)

Registers a mappable object class.

The class will be scanned for XMap annotations and a mapping description is created.

Parameters:

klass - the object class

Returns:

the mapping description
