XMLDirectMapping (page under construction)
Requirements
Provide support for XML direct mappings.
The following structures are to be extended to support XML direct mapping configuration:
-
xml-attribute
-
xml-element
Path-based mappings must be supported.
The following information must be configurable via XML metadata
<xml-direct-mapping xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/xsds/persistence"> <attribute-name>String</attribute-name> <read-only>false</read-only> <get-method>String</get-method> <set-method>String</set-method> <properties> <property name="String"> <value>Text</value> </property> <property name="String"> <value>Text</value> </property> </properties> <field name="String"/> <null-value>String</null-value> <converter/> <attribute-classification>String</attribute-classification> <is-cdata>1</is-cdata> <null-policy> <xsi-nil-represents-null>false</xsi-nil-represents-null> <empty-node-represents-null>false</empty-node-represents-null> <null-representation-for-xml>XSI_NIL</null-representation-for-xml> </null-policy> </xml-direct-mapping>
Example
The following example will demonstrate how to configure XML direct mappings via XML metadata.
org.example.Employee.java
package org.example; public class Employee { public int empId; public String firstName; public String lastName; public String projectName; }
Deployment XML
<class-mapping-descriptor xsi:type="xml-class-mapping-descriptor"> <alias>Employee</alias> <attribute-mappings> <attribute-mapping xsi:type="xml-direct-mapping"> <attribute-name>empId</attribute-name> <field name="@id" xsi:type="node"/> </attribute-mapping> <attribute-mapping xsi:type="xml-direct-mapping"> <attribute-name>firstName</attribute-name> <field name="first-name/text()" xsi:type="node"/> </attribute-mapping> <attribute-mapping xsi:type="xml-direct-mapping"> <attribute-name>lastName</attribute-name> <field name="last-name/text()" xsi:type="node"/> </attribute-mapping> <attribute-mapping xsi:type="xml-direct-mapping"> <attribute-name>projectName</attribute-name> <field name="prj:project/text()" xsi:type="node"/> </attribute-mapping> <attribute-mappings> <descriptor-type>aggregate</descriptor-type> <default-root-element>employee</default-root-element> <default-root-element-field name="employee" xsi:type="node"/> <namespace-resolver> <namespaces> <namespace> <prefix>prj</prefix> <namespace-uri>http://www.example.com/projects</namespace-uri> </namespace> </namespaces> <default-namespace-uri>http://www.example.com/employees</default-namespace-uri> </namespace-resolver> </class-mapping-descriptor>
XML Instance Document
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <employee id="66" xmlns="http://www.example.com/employees" xmlns:prj="http://www.example.com/projects"> <first-name>Joe</first-name> <last-name>Black</last-name> <prj:project>XML External Metadata Support</prj:project> </employee>
org/example/eclipselink-oxm.xml
This XML file demonstrates configuring XML direct mappings on the "org.example.Employee" class.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?> <xml-bindings xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/xsds/persistence/oxm"> <xml-schema namespace="http://www.example.com/employees"> <xml-ns namespace-uri="http://www.example.com/projects" prefix="prj"/> </xml-schema> <java-types> <java-type name="org.example.Employee"> <xml-root-element name="employee" /> <java-attributes> <xml-attribute java-attribute="empId" name="id" /> <xml-element java-attribute="firstName" name="first-name" /> <xml-element java-attribute="lastName" name="last-name" /> <xml-element java-attribute="projectName" name="prj:project" /> </java-attributes> </java-type> </java-types> </xml-bindings>
Open Issues
This section lists the open issues that are still pending that must be decided prior to fully implementing this project's requirements.
Issue # | Owner | Description / Notes |
---|---|---|
1 | D.McCann | Two possible ways to allow a path-based mapping to be configured are being considered: xml-attribute/xml-element or xml-element-wrapper . Which is preferred? Design documentation for this support is located here.
|
2 | D.McCann | Three possible ways to set the path for a mapping are being considered: name overload vs. xpath vs. name + grouping-element . Which is preferred? Design documentation for this support is located here.
