Class Registry
java.lang.Object
org.simpleframework.xml.convert.Registry
The
Registry
represents an object that is used to
register bindings between a class and a converter implementation.
Converter instances created by this registry are lazily created
and cached so that they are instantiated only once. This ensures
that the overhead of serialization is reduced.- See Also:

Registry
public Registry()Constructor for theRegistry
object. This is used to create a registry between classes and the converters that should be used to serialize and deserialize the instances. All converters are instantiated once and cached for reuse.

Method Details
-
lookup
This is used to acquire aConverter
instance from the registry. All instances are cache to reduce the overhead of lookups during the serialization process. Converters are lazily instantiated and so are only created if demanded.- Parameters:
type
- this is the type to find the converter for- Returns:
- this returns the converter instance for the type
- Throws:
Exception
-
create
This is used to acquire aConverter
instance from the registry. All instances are cached to reduce the overhead of lookups during the serialization process. Converters are lazily instantiated and so are only created if demanded.- Parameters:
type
- this is the type to find the converter for- Returns:
- this returns the converter instance for the type
- Throws:
Exception
-
bind
This is used to register a binding between a type and the converter used to serialize and deserialize it. During the serialization process the converters are retrieved and used to convert the object members to XML.- Parameters:
type
- this is the object type to bind to a converterconverter
- this is the converter class to be used- Returns:
- this will return this registry instance to use
- Throws:
Exception
-
bind
This is used to register a binding between a type and the converter used to serialize and deserialize it. During the serialization process the converters are retrieved and used to convert the object properties to XML.- Parameters:
type
- this is the object type to bind to a converterconverter
- this is the converter instance to be used- Returns:
- this will return this registry instance to use
- Throws:
