Thanks Dan!
And likewise I would like to Marshal to an XML string from an arbitrary
object. I tried following your lead with something like this:
/**
* Marshall Object to string
* @param obj
* @return
*/
public String marshal ( Object obj )
{
try
{
Type type = getType( obj.getClass() );
MessageContext mc = new MessageContext();
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
XMLStreamWriter xsw = STAXUtils.createXMLStreamWriter( out, null, mc );
MessageWriter writer = new JDOMWriter ( new Element (
obj.getClass().getName() ) );
type.writeObject( obj, writer, mc );
return out.toString();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw new FABUncheckedException ( e );
}
}
Unfortunately, my string comes out empty :(
I also tried ElementWriter but the same thing happened.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Adam.

Subject: Re: [xfire-user] Using Aegis outside of XFire?
Hi Adam,
The answer is yes and no :-) Unfortunately, Aegis isn't completely
independent of xfire-core, so you will need that as a dependency.
Here is some pseudocode:
XMLStreamReader xsr = ...;
MessageReader reader = new ElementReader(xsr);
Type type = typeMapping.getType(reader.getName());
Object o = type.readObject(reader, new MessageContext();
This could all be pretty easily wrapped in nice Marshaller/Unmarshaller
classes :-)
So yes, it should work just fine.

Hi,
I really like the Aegis stuff in XFire.
Is it possible to use Aegis binding outside of XFire? Sort of like
XMLBeans and Castor?
Ideally I would like to be able to wrap up the binding context stuff and
do things like:
AegisBindingContext context = new AegisBindingContext();
//configure type mapping etc
then call:
ArbitraryObject obj = someObject;
String xml = context.marshall(someObject);
and conversely:
obj = (ArbitraryObject) context.unmarshall ( xml,
ArbitraryObject.class );
And then, might it be possible to produce a Schema (.xsd file) for an
arbitrary class?
I haven't really investigated how easy this might be, but if it is not
too much work, then I am up for doing it. However, my guess is that it is
far from trivial.
