Class XStreamMarshaller

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.oxm.support.AbstractMarshaller
      org.springframework.oxm.xstream.XStreamMarshaller

All Implemented Interfaces:

BeanClassLoaderAware, InitializingBean, Marshaller, Unmarshaller

public class XStreamMarshaller
extends AbstractMarshaller
implements InitializingBean, BeanClassLoaderAware

Implementation of the Marshaller interface for XStream.

By default, XStream does not require any further configuration, though class aliases can be used to have more control over the behavior of XStream.

Due to XStream's API, it is required to set the encoding used for writing to OutputStreams. It defaults to UTF-8.

NOTE: XStream is an XML serialization library, not a data binding library. Therefore, it has limited namespace support. As such, it is rather unsuitable for usage within Web services.

Since:

3.0

setAliases

public void setAliases(Map<String,?> aliases)
                throws ClassNotFoundException

Sets an alias/type map, consisting of string aliases mapped to classes. Keys are aliases; values are either Class instances, or String class names.

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException

See Also:

XStream.alias(String, Class)

setFieldAliases

public void setFieldAliases(Map<String,String> aliases)
                     throws ClassNotFoundException,
                            NoSuchFieldException

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException

NoSuchFieldException

See Also:

XStream.aliasField(String, Class, String)

setUseAttributeForTypes

public void setUseAttributeForTypes(Class[] types)

Set types to use XML attributes for.

See Also:

XStream.useAttributeFor(Class)

setUseAttributeFor

public void setUseAttributeFor(Map<?,?> attributes)

Set the types to use XML attributes for. The given map can contain either <String, Class> pairs, in which case XStream.useAttributeFor(String, Class) is called, or <Class, String> pairs, which results in XStream.useAttributeFor(Class, String) calls.

setImplicitCollections

public void setImplicitCollections(Map<Class<?>,String> implicitCollections)

Specify implicit collection fields, as a Map consisting of Class instances mapped to comma separated collection field names.

See Also:

XStream.addImplicitCollection(Class, String)

setOmittedFields

See Also:

XStream.omitField(Class, String)

Invoked after the population of normal bean properties but before an initialization callback such as InitializingBean's InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet() method or a custom init-method.

Specified by:

setBeanClassLoader in interface BeanClassLoaderAware

Parameters:

classLoader - the owning class loader; may be null in which case a default ClassLoader must be used, for example the ClassLoader obtained via ClassUtils.getDefaultClassLoader()

Returns:

the corresponding XmlMappingException
