Hi all,
I think I found a way to use the de-/serialization methods outside of
SOAPEnvelopes. Can somebody validate?
Suppose the base xsd defined type is someXmlType and axis generated a
class named SomeXmlType.java.
To serialize into a Writer do this:
public void print( SomeXmlType x, Writer w )
{
SerializationContext ctx = new SerializationContext(w);
ctx.setPretty( true );
QName rootName = SomeXmlType.getTypeDesc().getXmlType();
// This attribute adds a default namespace.
AttributesImpl a = new AttributesImpl();
a.addAttribute( "", "xmlns", "xmlns", "xsd:string",
rootName.getNamespaceURI() );
ctx.serialize( new QName( "", "nodename"), a, x, null, new
Boolean(true), new Boolean(false) );
}
The magic string "nodename" must be the name of the root node.
To deserialize, you need a supporting class:
class SomeXmlTypeBuilder extends SOAPHandler
{
private BeanDeserializer handler;
public SomeXmlTypeBuilder() {};
public SOAPHandler onStartChild( String ns, String ln, String pf,
Attributes a, DeserializationContext ctx ) throws SAXException
{
handler = (BeanDeserializer) someXmlType.getDeserializer("",
SomeXmlType.class, SomeXmlType.getTypeDesc().getXmlType() );
return handler;
}
public SomeXmlType getValue()
{
return (SomeXmlType) handler.getValue();
}
}
Use it like this:
public SomeXmlType parse( InputSource is )
{
MessageContext mctx = new MessageContext( new AxisClient() );
DeserializationContext dctx = new DeserializationContext( is, mctx,
"nodename");
SomeXmlTypeBuilder b = new SomeXmlTypeBuilder();
dctx.replaceElementHandler( b );
dctx.parse();
return b.getValue();
}
