expandXMLData

public void expandXMLData(XMLConvertorContext context,
                          XMLData data)

Build the XMLData for a bean. This must use the context to avoid infinite recursion and take appropriate action. It must also get the XMLData for the properties, as they can impact the XMLData of the bean (such as properties being set as attributes on the bean's element).

Specified by:

expandXMLData in interface XMLConvertor

Parameters:

context - the XML context

data - the bean's XMLData to update

buildPropertiesXMLData

public void buildPropertiesXMLData(XMLConvertorContext context,
                                   XMLData data,
                                   Bean bean)

Build the XMLData for the properties. This loops through each property in turn asking it to add its data to the XMLData passed in. Note that the XMLData is the bean's XMLData.

buildXMLData

public void buildXMLData(XMLConvertorContext context,
                         XMLData parent,
                         java.lang.Object object)

Build the XMLData representation of the bean passed in.

Specified by:

buildXMLData in interface XMLConvertor

Parameters:

context - the context for the output

parent - the parent XMLData to add to

object - the object to convert
