My model looks like this:
class Table {
List<Row> rows;
List<Column> columns;
List<Cell> cells;
}
class Row {
List<Cell> cells;
}
class Column {
List<Cell> cells;
}
class Cell {
Row row;
Column column;
}
When I xstream this to XML with ID_REFERENCE, I get something ugly like
this:
<table>
<!-- rows -->
<row id="1"><!-- row 1 -->
<cell id="2">
<row ref="1">
<column id="3">
<cell ref="2"/>
<cell id="4">
<row id="5"> <!-- row 2 -->
... <!-- VERY DEEP INDENTATION, up to depth cellSize -->
<!-- All cells get initialized here !!! -->
</row>
<column ref="3"/>
</cell>
<cell ref="..."/>
...
</column>
<cell ref="..."/>
...
</row>
<row ref="5"/>
... (other rows, refs only)
<!-- columns -->
<column ref="3"/>
<column ref=""/>
... (other columns, also refs only)
<!-- cells -->
<cell ref="2"/>
... (other cells, also refs only)
<table/>
The indentation of that beast is ugly
and it scales poorly in memory & disk space.
How do I avoid that (without removing the bi-directional relationships
in my classes)?
Preferably, I 'd like it to write all rows, first, then all columns and
then all cells.
