Class BigIntegerTransform

java.lang.Object
org.simpleframework.xml.transform.BigIntegerTransform
All Implemented Interfaces:
Transform<BigInteger>

class BigIntegerTransform extends Object implements Transform<BigInteger>
The BigIntegerTransform is used to transform integer values to and from string representations, which will be inserted in the generated XML document as the value place holder. The value must be readable and writable in the same format. Fields and methods annotated with the XML attribute annotation will use this to persist and retrieve the value to and from the XML source.
 
    @Attribute
    private BigInteger integer;
    
 
As well as the XML attribute values using transforms, fields and methods annotated with the XML element annotation will use this. Aside from the obvious difference, the element annotation has an advantage over the attribute annotation in that it can maintain any references using the CycleStrategy object.

  • Method Details

    • read

      public BigInteger read(String value)
      This method is used to convert the string value given to an appropriate representation. This is used when an object is being deserialized from the XML document and the value for the string representation is required.
      Specified by:
      read in interface Transform<BigInteger>
      Parameters:
      value - this is the string representation of the value
      Returns:
      this returns an appropriate instanced to be used
    • write

      public String write(BigInteger value)
      This method is used to convert the provided value into an XML usable format. This is used in the serialization process when there is a need to convert a field value in to a string so that that value can be written as a valid XML entity.
      Specified by:
      write in interface Transform<BigInteger>
      Parameters:
      value - this is the value to be converted to a string
      Returns:
      this is the string representation of the given value
