hi,
xml marshalling question:
one of the requirements for default introspection-type marshalling
is that your objects follow javabeans conventions. we all know
java.awt.Color is not a javabean and thus has issues with default
introspection.
i want to custom-marshal any object of this type in my entire
model, similar to how dates are marshaled in the castor framework.
given a Color, i can marshal it as a string with this operation:
Integer.toHexString(color.getRGB());
given a parsed color hex value in an xml text node, i can
reconstitute the color object with these operations:
long rgb = Long.parseLong(colorhexstring);
return new Color((int) rgb);
Questions:
- how do i hook this in to castor?
- is there an easy way to do this with castor?
i have used fieldhandlers before but they force you to deal with
a more specific situation where a color is bound to a specific
container -- not the generic case i'm after. i looked at how dates
are handled and there appears to exist custom code for handling
dates all over the place. i don't think this code should go into
the castor source tree. i've actually written a classdescriptor for
this type and got the marshalling to work but not the other way
around.
thanks!! / eitan
