public class XMLField extends org.eclipse.persistence.internal.helper.DatabaseField implements org.eclipse.persistence.internal.oxm.mappings.Field<NamespaceResolver>
setXPath
method or by using the appropriate constructor.
The following XPath statements may be used to specify the location of XML data relating to an object's name attribute:
XPath | Description |
---|---|
@name | The "@" character indicates that the node is an attribute. |
text() | "text()" indicates that the node is a text node. In this case the name value in the text node belongs to the context node. |
full-name/text() | The name information is stored in the text node of the full-name element. |
personal-info/name/text() | The XPath statement may be used to specify any valid path. |
name[2]/text() | The XPath statement may contain positional information. In this case the name information is stored in the text node of the second occurrence of the name element. |
Mapping to a Specific Schema Type: In most cases TopLink can determine the target format in the XML document. However, there are cases where you must specify which one of a number of possible targets TopLink should use. For example, a java.util.Calendar could be marshalled to a schema date, time, or dateTime, or a byte[] could be marshalled to a schema hexBinary or base64Binary node.
XML Schema
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsd:element name="customer" type="customer-type"/>
<xsd:complexType name="customer-type">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="picture" type="xsd:hexBinary"/>
<xsd:element name="resume" type="xsd:base64Binary"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>
Code Sample
XMLField pictureField = new XMLField("picture/text()")
pictureField.setSchemaType(XMLConstants.HEX_BINARY_QNAME);
Setting custom conversion pairs: By default in TopLink XML built-in schema types are associated with java classes and vice versa. These default pairs can be modified by the user using the addJavaConversion and addXMLConversion api. For example by default a java.util.Calendar is mapped to the dateTime schema type so the XML will be formated based on that type. Below are the default schema type to java type conversion pairs and the default java type to schema type conversion pairs.
