Class ReflectionFormat<T>

java.lang.Object
  javolution.xml.XMLFormat<T>
      de.javakaffee.web.msm.serializer.javolution.ReflectionFormat<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type that is read/written by this XMLFormat.

public class ReflectionFormat<T>
extends javolution.xml.XMLFormat<T>

An XMLFormat that provides the binding for a certain class to to/from xml based on reflection.

When serializing an object to xml, the values of the declared fields are read (including inherited fields) from the object. Fields marked as transient or static are omitted.

During deserialization, first all attributes contained in the xml are read and written to the object. Afterwards the fields that are bound to elements are checked for contained xml elements and in this case the values are written to the object.
