XMLAnyObjectMapping
Requirements
Provide support for XML any object mapping configuration via XML metadata file.
The following should be configurable:
Design
Basic XML any object mapping support
We will extend our current xml-any-element
support to allow any mapping configuration. We will need to modify the XSD such that xml-path
, xml-access-methods
, read-only
, etc. can be set on xml-any-element
. For example, the following XML metadata snippet would be used to setup an any object mapping for 'stuff':
<xml-any-element java-attribute="stuff" />
If stuff
was to be mapped to junk/stuff
, then the following would be used:
<xml-any-element java-attribute="stuff" xml-path="junk/stuff" />
Read Only
The following demonstrates how an xml-any-element
can be set as read-only
:
<xml-any-element java-attribute="stuff" xml-path="junk/stuff" read-only="true" />
Write Only
The following demonstrates how an xml-any-element
can be set as write-only
:
<xml-any-element java-attribute="stuff" xml-path="junk/stuff" write-only="true" />
Equivalent annotations
@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAnyElement @org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.annotations.XmlPath("junk/stuff") public Object stuff;
Example:
The following example will demonstrate how to configure XML any object mappings via XML metadata by using xml-any-element
.
org.example.Employee.java
package org.example; public class Employee { public Object stuff; public Object getStuff() { return stuff; } public void setStuff(Object stuff) { this.stuff = stuff; } }
