implements Descriptor<AttributeAccessor,DatabaseMapping,DatabaseField,InheritancePolicy,InstantiationPolicy,NamespaceResolver,ObjectBuilder,DatabaseTable,UnmarshalRecord,XMLUnmarshaller>

Use an XML project for nontransactional, nonpersistent (in-memory) conversions between Java objects and XML documents. An XMLDescriptor is a set of mappings that describe how an objects's data is to be represented in an XML document. XML descriptors describe Java objects that you map to simple and complex types defined by an XML schema document (XSD). Using XML descriptors in an EclipseLink XML project, you can configure XML mappings.

DescriptorException

requiresInitialization

public boolean requiresInitialization(AbstractSession session)

INTERNAL: XML descriptors are initialized normally, since they do not need to be cloned by XML aggregate mappings.

Overrides:

extractDefaultTable

protected DatabaseTable extractDefaultTable()

Aggregates use a dummy table as default.

Overrides:

extractDefaultTable in class ClassDescriptor

wrapObjectInXMLRoot

public Object wrapObjectInXMLRoot(UnmarshalRecord unmarshalRecord,
 boolean forceWrap)

INTERNAL: Determines the appropriate object to return from the unmarshal call. The method will either return the object created in the xmlReader.parse() call or an instance of Root. An Root instance will be returned if the DOMRecord element being unmarshalled does not equal the descriptor's default root element.

Specified by:

wrapObjectInXMLRoot in interface Descriptor<AttributeAccessor,DatabaseMapping,DatabaseField,InheritancePolicy,InstantiationPolicy,NamespaceResolver,ObjectBuilder,DatabaseTable,UnmarshalRecord,XMLUnmarshaller>

Returns:

object

public Object wrapObjectInXMLRoot(Object object,
 String elementNamespaceUri,
 String elementLocalName,
 String elementPrefix,
 boolean forceWrap,
 boolean isNamespaceAware,
 XMLUnmarshaller xmlUnmarshaller)

INTERNAL: Determines the appropriate object to return from the unmarshal call. The method will either return the object created in the xmlReader.parse() call or an instance of Root. An Root instance will be returned if the DOMRecord element being unmarshalled does not equal the descriptor's default root element.

Specified by:
