Class CompositeInlineMap

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Converter, Repeater

    class CompositeInlineMap
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements Repeater
    The CompositeMap is used to serialize and deserialize maps to and from a source XML document. The structure of the map in the XML format is determined by the annotation. Keys can be either attributes or elements, and values can be inline. This can perform serialization and deserialization of the key and value objects whether the object types are primitive or composite.
     
        <map>
           <entry key='1'>           
              <value>one</value>
           </entry>
           <entry key='2'>
              <value>two</value>
           </entry>      
        </map>
        
     
    For the above XML element map the element entry is used to wrap the key and value such that they can be grouped. This element does not represent any real object. The names of each of the XML elements serialized and deserialized can be configured.

                                  Entry entry,

                           throws java.lang.Exception
        Constructor for the CompositeMap object. This will create a converter that is capable of writing map objects to and from XML. The resulting XML is configured by an annotation such that key values can attributes and values can be inline.
        Parameters:
        context - this is the root context for the serialization
        entry - this provides configuration for the resulting XML
        type - this is the map type that is to be converted
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception

      • read

        public java.lang.Object read​(InputNode node)
                              throws java.lang.Exception
        This read method will read the XML element map from the provided node and deserialize its children as entry types. Each entry type must contain a key and value so that the entry can be inserted in to the map as a pair. If either the key or value is composite it is read as a root object, which means its Root annotation must be present and the name of the object element must match that root element name.
        Specified by:
        read in interface Converter
        Parameters:
        node - this is the XML element that is to be deserialized
        Returns:
        this returns the item to attach to the object contact
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception - if a deserialized type cannot be instantiated
