Method Summary

java.lang.String	getMappingIdentifierURI() Each mapping has a URI that identifies it.
Type	getType(java.lang.Class javaType)
Type	getType(javax.xml.namespace.QName xmlType)
TypeCreator	getTypeCreator()
javax.xml.namespace.QName	getTypeQName(java.lang.Class clazz)
boolean	isRegistered(java.lang.Class javaType) Returns a flag indicating if this type mapping has a mapping for a particular Java class.
boolean	isRegistered(javax.xml.namespace.QName xmlType) Returns a flag indicating if this type mapping has a mapping for a particular XML Schema QName.
void	register(java.lang.Class javaType, javax.xml.namespace.QName xmlType, Type type) Register a type, manually specifying the java class, the schema type, and the Aegis type object that provides serialization, deserialization, and schema.
void	register(Type type) Register a type that self-describes the schema type and the Java class.
void	removeType(Type type)
void	setMappingIdentifierURI(java.lang.String uri) This exists only to deal with an initialization order problem.

Method Detail

isRegistered

boolean isRegistered(java.lang.Class javaType)

Returns a flag indicating if this type mapping has a mapping for a particular Java class.

Parameters:

javaType - the class.

Returns:

true if there is a mapping for the type.

isRegistered

boolean isRegistered(javax.xml.namespace.QName xmlType)

Returns a flag indicating if this type mapping has a mapping for a particular XML Schema QName.

Parameters:

xmlType - the QName.

Returns:

true if there is a mapping for the type.

register

void register(java.lang.Class javaType,
              javax.xml.namespace.QName xmlType,
              Type type)

Register a type, manually specifying the java class, the schema type, and the Aegis type object that provides serialization, deserialization, and schema.

Parameters:

javaType - Java class.

xmlType - XML Schema type QName.

type - Aegis type object.

register

void register(Type type)

Register a type that self-describes the schema type and the Java class.

Parameters:

type - Aegis type object that

removeType

void removeType(Type type)

getType

Type getType(java.lang.Class javaType)

getType

Type getType(javax.xml.namespace.QName xmlType)

getTypeQName

javax.xml.namespace.QName getTypeQName(java.lang.Class clazz)

getTypeCreator

TypeCreator getTypeCreator()

getMappingIdentifierURI

java.lang.String getMappingIdentifierURI()

Each mapping has a URI that identifies it. The mapping for a service uses the service URI. XML files can choose to only contribute mappings that match.

Returns:

the URI.

setMappingIdentifierURI

void setMappingIdentifierURI(java.lang.String uri)

This exists only to deal with an initialization order problem.

Parameters:

uri -
