Interface BindingComponent
- All Known Implementing Classes:
- XMLBindingComponent
public interface BindingComponent
This interface is the abstraction of any type of source that can interact with
the Source Code Generator.
From the Source Code Generator point of view, the source document used to generate
Java source code is totally transparent and is not exposed.
Specific implementation of that class will represent the source document used.
For instance when generating source code from an XML Schema, the source generator will
interact with an XMLBindingComponent
whereas when generating source code from an UML model object model, the source generator
will interact with an UMLBindingComponent (This is obviously just an example, no UML Object Model
has been as of today integrated in Castor).
A binding component can be of three different types:
- MEMBER: this type of BindingComponent will represent a java class member.
- INTERFACE: this type of BindingComponent will represent a java interface.
- CLASS: this type of BindingComponent will represent a java class.
