Interface XMLClassDescriptorResolver
- All Superinterfaces:
ClassDescriptorResolver
- All Known Implementing Classes:
XMLClassDescriptorResolverImpl
An interface for finding or "resolving" XMLClassDescriptor classes.
Note: This interface is used by the marshalling Framework for resolving XMLClassDescriptors for non-primitive types. There are no guarantees that this class will be called for java native classes.

Method Details
-
setInternalContext
To set the XMLContext to be used.- Parameters:
xmlContext
- the XMLContext to be used
-
setUseIntrospection
void setUseIntrospection(boolean enable) Enables or disables introspection. Introspection is enabled by default.- Parameters:
enable
- a flag to indicate whether or not introspection is allowed.
-
setLoadPackageMappings
void setLoadPackageMappings(boolean loadPackageMappings) Sets whether or not to look for and load package specific mapping files (".castor.xml").- Parameters:
loadPackageMappings
- a boolean that enables or disables the loading of package specific mapping files
-
setClassLoader
Sets the ClassLoader to use when loading class descriptors.- Parameters:
loader
- the ClassLoader to use
-
setResolverStrategy
The resolver strategy to use for class and package resolving. Will set the current attributes into the new strategy.- Parameters:
resolverStrategy
- the ResolverStrategy to use for resolve calls
-
setIntrospector
To set the Introspector to be used. It is stored as attribute of resolver and set as property into the current strategy.- Parameters:
introspector
- the Introspector to use
-
resolve
Returns the XMLClassDescriptor for the given class name.- Parameters:
className
- the class name to find the XMLClassDescriptor for- Returns:
- the XMLClassDescriptor for the given class name
- Throws:
ResolverException
- in case that resolving fails unrecoverable
-
resolve
Returns the XMLClassDescriptor for the given class name.- Parameters:
className
- the class name to find the XMLClassDescriptor forloader
- the ClassLoader to use- Returns:
- the XMLClassDescriptor for the given class name
- Throws:
ResolverException
- in case that resolving fails unrecoverable
-
resolveByXMLName
XMLClassDescriptor resolveByXMLName(String xmlName, String namespaceURI, ClassLoader loader) throws ResolverException Returns the first XMLClassDescriptor that matches the given XML name and namespaceURI. Null is returned if no descriptor can be found.- Parameters:
xmlName
- The class name to find the XMLClassDescriptor for.namespaceURI
- The namespace URI to identify the XMLClassDescriptor.loader
- The ClassLoader to use.- Returns:
- The XMLClassDescriptor for the given XML name.
- Throws:
ResolverException
- in case that resolving fails unrecoverable
-
resolveAllByXMLName
Iterator<ClassDescriptor> resolveAllByXMLName(String xmlName, String namespaceURI, ClassLoader loader) throws ResolverException Returns an enumeration of XMLClassDescriptor objects that match the given xml name.- Parameters:
xmlName
- The class name to find the XMLClassDescriptor for.namespaceURI
- The namespace URI to identify the XMLClassDescriptor.loader
- The ClassLoader to use.- Returns:
- An Iterator of XMLClassDescriptor objects.
- Throws:
ResolverException
- in case that resolving fails unrecoverable
-
addClass
Loads the class descriptor for the class instance specified. The use of this method is useful when no mapping is used, as happens when the domain classes hase been generated using the XML code generator (in which case instead of a mapping file class descriptor files will be generated).- Parameters:
className
- Name of the class for which the associated descriptor should be loaded.- Throws:
ResolverException
- If there's an unrecoverable problem with resolving a certain class.
-
addClasses
Loads the class descriptors for the class instances specified. The use of this method is useful when no mapping is used, as happens when the domain classes hase been generated using the XML code generator (in which case instead of a mapping file class descriptor files will be generated).- Parameters:
classNames
- Names of the classes for which the associated descriptors should be loaded.- Throws:
ResolverException
- If there's an unrecoverable problem with resolving a certain class.
-
addClass
Loads the class descriptor for the class instance specified. The use of this method is useful when no mapping is used, as happens when the domain classes have been generated using the XML code generator (in which case instead of a mapping file class descriptor files will be generated).- Parameters:
clazz
- Class for which the associated descriptor should be loaded.- Throws:
ResolverException
- If there's an unrecoverable problem with resolving a certain class.
-
addClasses
Loads the class descriptors for the class instances specified. The use of this method is useful when no mapping is used, as happens when the domain classes hase been generated using the XML code generator (in which case instead of a mapping file class descriptor files will be generated).- Parameters:
clazzes
- Classes for which the associated descriptors should be loaded.- Throws:
ResolverException
- If there's an unrecoverable problem with resolving a certain class.
-
addPackage
Loads class descriptors from the package specified. The use of this method is useful when no mapping is used, as happens when the domain classes hase been generated using the XML code generator (in which case instead of a mapping file class descriptor files will be generated).Please note that this functionality will work only if you provide the .castor.cdr file with your generated classes (as generated by the XML code generator).
- Parameters:
packageName
- The package name for the (descriptor) classes- Throws:
ResolverException
- If there's a problem loading class descriptors for the given package.
-
addPackages
Loads class descriptors from the packages specified. The use of this method is useful when no mapping is used, as happens when the domain classes hase been generated using the XML code generator (in which case instead of a mapping file class descriptor files will be generated).Please note that this functionality will work only if you provide the .castor.cdr files with your generated classes (as generated by the XML code generator).
- Parameters:
packageNames
- The package names for the (descriptor) classes- Throws:
ResolverException
- If there's a problem loading class descriptors for the given package.
-
loadClassDescriptors
Deprecated.Please use e.g. #addPackage(String) instead.Loads class descriptors from the package specified. The use of this method is useful when no mapping is used, as happens when the domain classes hase been generated using the XML code generator (in which case instead of a mapping file class descriptor files will be generated).Please note that this functionality will work only if you provide the .castor.cdr file with your generated classes (as generated by the XML code generator).
- Parameters:
packageName
- The package name for the (descriptor) classes- Throws:
