Method Detail

getSerializer

SerializerFactory getSerializer(java.lang.Class javaType)
                         throws JAXRPCException

Gets the SerializerFactory registered for the specified pair of Java type and XML data type.

Parameters:

javaType - - Class of the Java type

Returns:

Registered SerializerFactory

Throws:

JAXRPCException - - If there is no registered SerializerFactory for this pair of Java type and XML data type java.lang.IllegalArgumentException If invalid or unsupported XML/Java type is specified

getDeserializer

DeserializerFactory getDeserializer(QName xmlType)
                             throws JAXRPCException

Gets the DeserializerFactory registered for the specified XML data type.

Parameters:

xmlType - - Qualified name of the XML data type

Returns:

Registered DeserializerFactory

Throws:

JAXRPCException - - If there is no registered DeserializerFactory for this pair of Java type and XML data type java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If invalid or unsupported XML/Java type is specified

getTypeQName

QName getTypeQName(java.lang.Class javaType)

Gets the QName for the type mapped to Class.

Parameters:

javaType - class or type

Returns:

xmlType qname or null

getTypeQNameExact

QName getTypeQNameExact(java.lang.Class javaType)

Get the QName for this Java class, but only return a specific mapping if there is one. In other words, don't do special array processing, etc.

Parameters:

javaType -

Returns:

getClassForQName

java.lang.Class getClassForQName(QName xmlType)

Gets the Class mapped to QName.

Parameters:

xmlType - qname or null

Returns:

javaType class for type or null for no mapping

getClassForQName

java.lang.Class getClassForQName(QName xmlType,
                                 java.lang.Class javaType)

getAllClasses

java.lang.Class[] getAllClasses()

Returns an array of all the classes contained within this mapping

getXMLType

QName getXMLType(java.lang.Class javaType,
                 QName xmlType,
                 boolean encoded)
          throws JAXRPCException

Get the exact XML type QName which will be used when serializing a given Class to a given type QName. In other words, if we have: Class TypeQName ---------------------- Base myNS:Base Child myNS:Child and call getXMLType(Child.class, BASE_QNAME), we should get CHILD_QNAME.

Parameters:

javaType -

xmlType -

Returns:

the type's QName

Throws:

JAXRPCException
