    Any object XML mappings map an attribute that contains a single object to an XML element. The referenced object may be of any type (including String), and does not need not be related to any other particular type through inheritance or a common interface. The corresponding object attribute value should be generic enough for all possible application values. Note that each of the referenced objects (except String) must specify a default root element on their descriptor.

    Any object XML mappings are useful with the following XML schema constructs:

    • any
    • choice
    • substitution groups

    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 node type, path, and positional information. The XPath is specified on the mapping using the setXPath method. Note that for XML Any Object Mappings the XPath is optional.

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

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

    Mapping an element of type xs:anyType as an Any Object Mapping:

                              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.
