Class XMLHelper

java.lang.Object
  org.kite9.framework.serialization.XMLHelper

public class XMLHelper
extends Object

Utility methods for converting to and from XML in the expected format. This uses XStream under the hood to do the conversion. This copy exists here because we need it for testing. This provides the following functionality:

• Object-reference fixing so that we can omit parent/container references in the xml
• Use of kite9 namespace for xml generated
• use of Kite9 id field in the xml, instead of Xstream generated ones.
• Use of xsi:type to choose the subclass in the xml format (in accordance with schema)

Method Detail

isSimplifyingXML

public boolean isSimplifyingXML()

When this is set, we serialize all of the link elements as part of the Diagram element. This makes the containment structure of the ADL elements much easier to see.

Returns:

setSimplifyingXML

public void setSimplifyingXML(boolean simplifyingXML)

toXML

public String toXML(Diagram d)

toXML

public String toXML(WorkItem item)

fromXML

public Object fromXML(String s)

fromXML

public Object fromXML(InputStream s)

handlePostProcessing

protected void handlePostProcessing(Object out)
