ElementExtractor
public ElementExtractor(Contact contact, ElementUnion union, Format format) throws java.lang.Exception
Constructor for theElementExtractor
object. This is used to create an extractor that can be used to extract the various labels used to serialize and deserialize objects.- Parameters:
contact
- this is the contact annotated as a unionunion
- this is the union annotation to extract fromformat
- this is the format used to style the elements- Throws:
java.lang.Exception

Method Detail
-
getAnnotations
public Element[] getAnnotations()
This is used to acquire each annotation that forms part of the union group. Extracting the annotations in this way allows the extractor to build aLabel
which can be used to represent the annotation. Each label can then provide a converter implementation to serialize objects.- Specified by:
getAnnotations
in interfaceExtractor<Element>
- Returns:
- this returns each annotation within the union group
-
getLabel
public Label getLabel(Element element)
This creates aLabel
object used to represent the annotation provided. Creating the label in this way ensures that each union has access to the serialization methods defined for each type an XML element name.
-
getType
public java.lang.Class getType(Element element)
Each annotation can provide a class which is used to determine which label is used to serialize an object. This ensures that the correct label is selected whenever serialization occurs.
