Field Detail

keys

public SerializationKeys keys

provider

protected IdentifiableProvider<V extends Identifiable> provider

Constructor Detail

MapConverter

public MapConverter(SerializationKeys keys,
                    IdentifiableProvider<V> provider)

Method Detail

getKeys

public SerializationKeys getKeys()

getProvider

public IdentifiableProvider<V> getProvider()

fromMap

public V fromMap(ConversionMap<String,Object> data)

Takes a map and returns an object of the given type, initialized with the values of the map.

Parameters:

data -

Returns:

createIfNeeded

public V createIfNeeded(V v)

fromMap

public V fromMap(ConversionMap<String,Object> map,
                 V v)

toMap

public void toMap(V value,
                  ConversionMap<String,Object> data)

Takes the value and writes the data to the map. The reason that the map is supplied is that there are many specialized maps. It would place undue constraints on this class to try and manage these as well.

Parameters:

value -

data -

subset

public V subset(V v,
                List<String> attributes)

Given a set of attributes, create a new object whose properties are restricted to the given list of attributes. Note the SerializationKeys has a method SerializationKeys.allKeys() that allows you to get every key for this object so you can simply remove what you do not want or need.

Parameters:

v -

attributes -

Returns:

fromMap

public V fromMap(Map<String,Object> map,
                 V v)

Specified by:

fromMap in interface XMLConverter<V extends Identifiable>

toMap

public void toMap(V value,
                  Map<String,Object> data)

Specified by:
