Class FileTransform
java.lang.Object
org.simpleframework.xml.transform.FileTransform
The
FileTransform
object is used to transform file
paths 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 File file;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.-
