Method Detail

serialize

public Element serialize(java.lang.Object object,
                Namespace ns)

Returns:

the Element object of the serialized data, null if there were any problems

deserialize

public java.lang.Object deserialize(Element elem)

Returns:

the deserialized object or null if there were no deserializer for the element type

setTimeZone

public void setTimeZone(java.util.TimeZone tz)

sets the timezone to serialize the date/time to. Whatever date object you pass in, no matter what time zone it is in, will have the time converted to the timezone that you set here. Note that once you set the time zone, all subsequent requests will work with the new timezone. If that is not your intention, then you should set the timezone back afterwards.

Parameters:

tz - the timezone to use

isSerializerRegisteredFor

public boolean isSerializerRegisteredFor(java.lang.Class classType)

checks to see if there is a serializer registered for the given class type

isDeserializerRegisteredFor

public boolean isDeserializerRegisteredFor(java.lang.String name)

checks to see if there is a deserializer registered for the given name type

addSerializer

public void addSerializer(java.lang.Class classType,
                 Serializer serializer)

registers a serializer for a particular class type. If class type already has a serializer, then it will be replaced.

Parameters:

classType - the Class type to serialize for

serializer - the serializer that will do the work

addDeserializer

public void addDeserializer(java.lang.String name,
                   Deserializer deserializer)

registers a deserializer for the particular name type. If the name type already has a deserializer, then it will be replaced.

Parameters:

name - the name (ie. int, i4, base64) of the type to deserialize for

deserializer - the deserializer

init

protected void init()

initString

protected void initString()

initializes the serializer/deserializer for the given type

initDouble

protected void initDouble()

initializes the serializer/deserializer for the given type

initDate

protected void initDate()

initializes the serializer/deserializer for the given type

initBase64

protected void initBase64()

initializes the serializer/deserializer for the given type

initBoolean

protected void initBoolean()

initializes the serializer/deserializer for the given type

initInt

protected void initInt()

initializes the serializer/deserializer for the given type

initArray

protected void initArray()

initializes the serializer/deserializer for the given type

initStruct

protected void initStruct()

initializes the serializer/deserializer for the given type
