Constructor Detail

UnmarshalHandler

protected UnmarshalHandler()
Creates a new UnmarshalHandler The "root" class will be obtained by looking into the mapping for a descriptor that matches the root element.


UnmarshalHandler

protected UnmarshalHandler(java.lang.Class _class)
Creates a new UnmarshalHandler

Parameters:
_class - the Class to create the UnmarshalHandler for
Method Detail

addNamespaceToPackageMapping

public void addNamespaceToPackageMapping(java.lang.String nsURI,
                                         java.lang.String packageName)
Adds a mapping from the given namespace URI to the given package name

Parameters:
nsURI - the namespace URI to map from
packageName - the package name to map to

getCurrentObject

public java.lang.Object getCurrentObject()
Returns the Object that the UnmarshalHandler is currently handling (within the object model), or null if the current element is a simpleType.

Returns:
the Object currently being unmarshalled, or null if the current element is a simpleType.

setClearCollections

public void setClearCollections(boolean clear)
Sets whether or not to clear collections (including arrays) upon first use to remove default values. By default, and for backward compatibility with previous versions of Castor this value is false, indicating that collections are not cleared before initial use by Castor.

Parameters:
clear - the boolean value that when true indicates collections should be cleared upon first use.

setDebug

public void setDebug(boolean debug)
Turns debuging on or off. If no Log Writer has been set, then System.out will be used to display debug information
