Class CastorMarshaller

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.oxm.support.AbstractMarshaller
      org.springframework.oxm.castor.CastorMarshaller

All Implemented Interfaces:

InitializingBean, Marshaller, Unmarshaller

public class CastorMarshaller
extends AbstractMarshaller
implements InitializingBean

Implementation of the Marshaller interface for Castor. By default, Castor does not require any further configuration, though setting target classes, target packages or providing a mapping file can be used to have more control over the behavior of Castor.

If a target class is specified using setTargetClass, the CastorMarshaller can only be used to unmarshall XML that represents that specific class. If you want to unmarshall multiple classes, you have to provide a mapping file using setMappingLocations.

Due to limitations of Castor's API, it is required to set the encoding used for writing to output streams. It defaults to UTF-8.

Since:

3.0
