Class XMLChoiceCollectionMapping

java.lang.Object
  org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.DatabaseMapping
      org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.mappings.XMLChoiceCollectionMapping

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, XMLMapping

public class XMLChoiceCollectionMapping
extends DatabaseMapping
implements XMLMapping

PUBLIC:

Purpose:Provide a mapping that can map a single attribute to a number of different elements in an XML Document. This will be used to map to Choices or Substitution Groups in an XML Schema

Responsibilities:

• Allow the user to specify XPath -> Type mappings
• Handle reading and writing of XML Documents containing a collection of choice or substitution group elements

The XMLChoiceCollectionMapping is the collection version of the XMLChoiceMapping. This mapping allows the user to specify a number of different xpaths, and types associated with those xpaths. When any of these elements are encountered in the XML Document, they are read in as the correct type and added to the collection.

Setting up XPath mappings:Unlike other OXM Mappings, instead of setting a single xpath, the addChoiceElement method is used to specify an xpath and the type associated with this xpath.
xmlChoiceCollectionMapping.addChoiceElement("mystring/text()", String.class);
xmlChoiceCollectionMapping.addChoiceElement("myaddress", Address.class);

Set the converter on the mapping. A converter can be used to convert between the object's value and database value of the attribute.

buildBackupClone

public void buildBackupClone(java.lang.Object clone,
                             java.lang.Object backup,

                              org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractSession executionSession)

Description copied from class: DatabaseMapping

INTERNAL: A combination of readFromRowIntoObject and buildClone.

buildClone assumes the attribute value exists on the original and can simply be copied.

readFromRowIntoObject assumes that one is building an original.

Both of the above assumptions are false in this method, and actually attempts to do both at the same time.

Extract value from the row and set the attribute to this value in the working copy clone. In order to bypass the shared cache when in transaction a UnitOfWork must be able to populate working copies directly from the row.
