All Implemented Interfaces:

public class XMLCompositeObjectMapping
extends AbstractCompositeObjectMapping
implements XMLMapping, XMLNillableMapping

Composite object XML mappings represent a relationship between two classes. In XML, the "owned" class may be nested with the element tag representing the "owning" class. This mapping is, by definition, privately owned.

Composite object XML mappings can be used in the following scenarios:

• Mapping into the Parent Record
• Mapping to an Element
• Mapping to Different Elements by Element Name
• Mapping to Different Elements by Element Position

Setting the XPath: TopLink XML mappings make use of XPath statements to find the relevant data in an XML document. The XPath statement is relative to the context node specified in the descriptor. The XPath may contain path and positional information; the last node in the XPath forms the local root node for the composite object. The XPath is specified on the mapping using the setXPath method.

The following XPath statements may be used to specify the location of XML data relating to an object's name attribute:

XPath	Description
.	Indicates "self".
phone-number	The phone-number information is stored in the phone-number element.
contact-info/phone-number	The XPath statement may be used to specify any valid path.
phone-number[2]	The XPath statement may contain positional information. In this case the phone-number information is stored in the second occurrence of the phone-number element.

Mapping into the Parent Record: The composite object may be mapped into the parent record in a corresponding XML document.

Code Sample
XMLCompositeObjectMapping addressMapping = new XMLCompositeObjectMapping();
addressMapping.setAttributeName("address");
addressMapping.setXPath(".");
addressMapping.setReferenceClass(Address.class);


Mapping to an Element: The composite object may be mapped to an element in a corresponding XML document.
