Versioning of XML Output
------------------------

         Key: BETWIXT-50
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BETWIXT-50
     Project: Commons Betwixt
        Type: Improvement

    Reporter: Holger Haag


Referring to the thread "Versioning of XML Output" 
(http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-commons-user/200605.mbox/[EMAIL
 PROTECTED]) on the jakarta-commons-user  mailing list, I'll provide here a SVN 
patch for the described problem. 

- Two new strategies: Attribute and Element suppression. Chose interfaces
instead of abstract class so that one class (see test cases) can implement
both.
- After an element/attribute descriptor has been build completely (including
the options), the suppression strategies are evaluated. If the
element/attribute shall be suppressed, it is removed from the introspection
results. 
- Important: use <addDefaults add-properties="false" /> ! Otherwise the
effects of element/attribute suppression will be ... none.
- Test cases for illustration

=== Code snippets + explanation == :

* Added new Interfaces 
  
  org.apache.commons.betwixt.strategy.AttributeSuppressionStrategy
  
  public boolean suppress(AttributeDescriptor descr);
  
  
  org.apache.commons.betwixt.strategy.ElementSuppressionStrategy
  
  public boolean suppress(ElementDescriptor descr);
  
  
* Added setter/getter methods for such strategies in
org.apache.commons.betwixt.IntrospectionConfiguration


* org.apache.commons.betwixt.digester.ElementRule: Remove element descriptor
if suppressed:

        ElementDescriptor descriptor = (ElementDescriptor)digester.pop();
        
        final Object peek = digester.peek();
        
        if(peek instanceof ElementDescriptor) {
            ElementDescriptor parent = (ElementDescriptor)digester.peek();

            // check for element suppression
            if(
getXMLIntrospector().getConfiguration().getElementSuppressionStrategy().suppress(descriptor))
{
                parent.removeElementDescriptor(descriptor);
            }
        }

* org.apache.commons.betwixt.digester.AttributeRule: Remove attribute
descrptor if suppressed:

        AttributeDescriptor descriptor =
(AttributeDescriptor)digester.pop();
        ElementDescriptor parent = (ElementDescriptor)digester.peek();

        // check for attribute suppression
        if(
getXMLIntrospector().getConfiguration().getAttributeSuppressionStrategy().suppress(descriptor))
{
            parent.removeAttributeDescriptor(descriptor);
        }


* ElementDescriptor: new methods:

    public void removeAttributeDescriptor(AttributeDescriptor descriptor) {
        getAttributeList().remove(descriptor);
    }

    public void removeElementDescriptor(ElementDescriptor descriptor) {
        getElementList().remove(descriptor);
        getContentList().remove(descriptor);
    }
    

        public AttributeDescriptor getAttributeDescriptor(final String name)
{
                for (int i = 0, size = attributeDescriptors.length; i < size; 
i++)
{
                    AttributeDescriptor descr = attributeDescriptors[i];
                    if (descr.getQualifiedName().equals(name)) {
                        return descr;
                    }
                }
        
                return null;
            }


* Test cases: package org.apache.commons.betwixt.versioning

  VersioningStrategy implements both an element and versioning strategy
  VersioningTest well.. .test the versioning.
