Method Details

getAllClasses

public Class[] getAllClasses()
Returns an array of all the classes contained within this mapping


getClassForQName

public 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

public Class getClassForQName(QName xmlType,
                              Class javaType)


getDeserializer

public 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


getSerializer

public SerializerFactory getSerializer(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


getTypeQName

public QName getTypeQName(Class javaType)
Gets the QName for the type mapped to Class.

Parameters:
javaType - class or type

Returns:
xmlType qname or null


getTypeQNameExact

public QName getTypeQNameExact(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:


getXMLType

public QName getXMLType(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 -
