I have a nasty
problem. Been using Castor for a couple of years for all our
classes. Basically we have a large set of mapping files that generally use
auto-complete="true" and we specify what is transient.
We are now
implementing Hibernate to perist. However, when we load up an object from
the DB and then go to marshal it we see the following
problem.
Hibernate uses CGLIB
and proxies for the class. At run time there is a "getxxxx" that returns
an object that we definately do not want to marshal.
So, i can'd set it
transient because Castor complains that it cannot find it in the
unproxied/mapped class.
It will be a large
problem for us to crawl through all our mapping files and specify each attribute
for mapping. Is there a way around this?
Are there any hooks
in Castor where i can indicate to it to not marshal a particular
attribute? Any code i can inject any where to handle
this?
thanks.
oh, the
decision to use Hibernate has been made. Not sure i can switch to anything
else at this point.
