[castor-dev] Example for functionality of create-method attribute

[Chetan Rathi]

 

Hello Keith,

There is the requirement of altering the XML document so generated in terms of adding additional attribute for better understanding of the same by the other interfaces interacting with the this XML document example the COI Archival system.

The following document shows the XML document generated using the Mapping option representing the underlying java classes:

<Auftragsposition AuftragspositionOID="1019738737353">

                 <DienstleistungsNummer>HU</DienstleistungsNummer>

             <Person PartnerOID="0000108G100TKKS4O3N0590">

                       <Name>SCHELLING</Name>

                       <Name2>JOCHEN</Name2>
         </Person>

                <Organisation PartnerOID="0000108G100TKKS4O3N0590">

                 <Name>SCHELLING</Name>

                 <Name2>JOCHEN</Name2> 
    </Organisation>
</Auftragsposition >

 

The above is to be represented as:

 

<Auftragsposition AuftragspositionOID="1019738737353">

                 <DienstleistungsNummer>HU</DienstleistungsNummer>

             <AuftragPartner type="Person" PartnerOID="0000108G100TKKS4O3N0590">

                       <Name>SCHELLING</Name>

                       <Name2>JOCHEN</Name2>
         </AuftragPartner>

      <AuftragPartner type="Organisation" PartnerOID="0000108G100TKKS4O3N0590">

                 <Name>SCHELLING</Name>

                 <Name2>JOCHEN</Name2> 
    </AuftragPartner>
</Auftragsposition >

Thus the requirement is adding an additional attribute tpye which wud in turn tell the marshalling tool to instantiate the object of the person or Organisation class.

The Auftragsposition has a one to many relationship with Partner which are of types Person and Orgnaisation.

Auftag is bascially an order and Auftragposition is the order postion for your information.

So a given auftragpostion can have many partner and the same is to be represented in the above mentioned form.

I was probing into the field Handler functionality perhaps using the create-method attribute...whcih wud allow me to use my code to be run to generate the above mentioned output, thus being called through the mapping file so written.

Hopefully , i make myself clear.

Also send me an example showing the usage of the create-method and its relevance to the above mentioned problem.

Can it be done using Castor??

Regds,

Chetan Rathi
