All Implemented Interfaces:

MetaDataSerializer

Direct Known Subclasses:

CFMetaDataSerializer, XMLSchemaSerializer

public abstract class XMLMetaDataSerializer
extends Object
implements MetaDataSerializer

public XMLMetaDataSerializer()

Method Detail

getLog

public Log getLog()

The log to write to.

setLog

public void setLog(Log log)

The log to write to.

serialize

public void serialize(int flags)
               throws IOException

Description copied from interface: MetaDataSerializer

Serialize the current set of objects to the files from which they were parsed. Any objects for which a source file cannot be determined will not be included in the output.

Specified by:

serialize in interface MetaDataSerializer

Parameters:

flags - bit flags specifying the output flags; e.g. MetaDataSerializer.PRETTY

Throws:

IOException

serialize

public void serialize(Map output,
                      int flags)
               throws IOException

Description copied from interface: MetaDataSerializer

Serialize the current set of objects to the files from which they were parsed. The objects must implement the SourceTracker interface.

Specified by:

serialize in interface MetaDataSerializer

Parameters:

output - if null, then serialize directly to the file system; otherwise, populate the specified Map with keys that are the File instances, and values that are the String contents of the MetaData

flags - bit flags specifying the output flags; e.g. MetaDataSerializer.PRETTY

Throws:

IOException

prepareWrite

protected File prepareWrite(File file)
                     throws IOException

Prepare to write to the given file. Back up the file and make sure the path to it is created.

Throws:

IOException

getFileMap

protected Map<File,Collection<Object>> getFileMap()

Returns a Map with keys of the File to be written to, and values of a Collection of SourceTracker instances.

getSourceFile

protected File getSourceFile(Object obj)

Return the source file for the given instance. By default, checks to see if the instance implements SourceTracker.

serialize

public void serialize(File file,
                      int flags)
               throws IOException

Description copied from interface: MetaDataSerializer

Serialize the current set of objects to the given file.

Specified by:

serialize in interface MetaDataSerializer

flags - bit flags specifying the output flags; e.g. MetaDataSerializer.PRETTY | MetaDataSerializer.APPEND

Throws:

IOException

serialize

public void serialize(Writer out,
                      int flags)
               throws IOException

Description copied from interface: MetaDataSerializer

Serialize the current set of objects to the given stream.

Specified by:

serialize in interface MetaDataSerializer

flags - bit flags specifying the output flags; e.g. MetaDataSerializer.PRETTY

Throws:

IOException
