Hello, guys. I have ecountered a problem about xStream that forced me to ask
some guidence.
Imagine the following class, representing the Vagon:
class Vagon {
int id;
Vagon nextVagon;
}
it has only two fields: an id and reference to next class instance.
So, imagine we have list of this objects representing train:
Vagon vagon5 = new Vagon( 5, null );
Vagon vagon4 = new Vagon( 4, vagon5 );
Vagon vagon3 = new Vagon( 3, vagon4 );
Vagon vagon2 = new Vagon( 2, vagon3 );
Vagon vagon1 = new Vagon( 1, vagon2 );
Vagon vagon0 = new Vagon( 0, vagon1 );
where the vagon0 - is the last, next to him vagon1 and so on.
So, when i serialise List of this vagons using xstream i got smth like this:
<list>
<TrainTest_-Vagon>
<id>0</id>
<nextVagon>
<id>1</id>
<nextVagon>
<id>2</id>
<nextVagon>
<id>3</id>
<nextVagon>
<id>4</id>
<nextVagon>
<id>5</id>
</nextVagon>
</nextVagon>
</nextVagon>
</nextVagon>
</nextVagon>
</TrainTest_-Vagon>
<TrainTest_-Vagon reference="../TrainTest_-Vagon/nextVagon"/>
<TrainTest_-Vagon reference="../TrainTest_-Vagon/nextVagon/nextVagon"/>
<TrainTest_-Vagon
reference="../TrainTest_-Vagon/nextVagon/nextVagon/nextVagon"/>
<TrainTest_-Vagon
reference="../TrainTest_-Vagon/nextVagon/nextVagon/nextVagon/nextVagon"/>
<TrainTest_-Vagon
reference="../TrainTest_-Vagon/nextVagon/nextVagon/nextVagon/nextVagon/nextVagon"/>
</list>
So IN fact - I have first big vagon0 that includes within itself all other
vagons, and the other list members - are refereces.
The problems are
1) if list size is very big xStream can't serialize it due to stack limiting -
i'm just getting StackOverflow Error.
2) Output is very hard to read: i would like having smthing like that:
<list>
<TrainTest_-Vagon>
<id>0</id>
<nextVagon reference="..ref to vagon1..">
</TrainTest_-Vagon>
<TrainTest_-Vagon>
<id>1</id>
<nextVagon reference="..ref to vagon2..">
</TrainTest_-Vagon>
<TrainTest_-Vagon>
<id>2</id>
<nextVagon reference="..ref to vagon3..">
</TrainTest_-Vagon>
<TrainTest_-Vagon>
<id>3</id>
<nextVagon reference="..ref to vagon4..">
</TrainTest_-Vagon>
<TrainTest_-Vagon>
<id>4</id>
<nextVagon reference="..ref to vagon5..">
</TrainTest_-Vagon>
<TrainTest_-Vagon>
<id>5</id>
<nextVagon reference="..null..">
</TrainTest_-Vagon>
</list>
So, from tech point of view, I think that we are speaking of lazy marshalling -
first marsal vagons leaving the "nextVagon" blank - and then when we will have
all train in memory insert the refereces.
Is there any way to do this in xStream or i will have to write my own Converter
to TrainList?
