I'm trying to fix what I think is a small bug in Aegis, having to do with
unmarshaling Maps. I'm inconvenienced by having to use a web service to supply
the marshaled data for my experimentation. What I'd like is a bare-bones way
to call some method, passing it an arbitrary object (neither a basic type nor
an extension of BeanType) and having it return a String of the Aegis-serialized
object.
I have looked at BeanTest.java and StandaloneWriteTest.java, but neither of
them seems to have code to do what I just described.
Unmarhaling, btw, seems to be simple; the following code works for me:
private Object unmarshal(String xml) throws Exception {
AegisContext context = new AegisContext(); // I'm actually using an
extension of AegisContext, so this is a white lie
context.initialize();
XMLStreamReader xmlReader = xmlInputFactory.createXMLStreamReader(new
StringReader(xml));
AegisReader<XMLStreamReader> reader = context.createXMLStreamReader();
return reader.read(xmlReader);
}
For marshaling I've tried any way I could think of, but to no avail. Here's
one example that doesn't work, for reasons that are unclear to me:
private String marshal(Object obj, String msg) throws Exception {
StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
XMLStreamWriter xmlWriter =
xmlOutputFactory.createXMLStreamWriter(stringWriter);
MessageWriter mw = new ElementWriter(xmlWriter);
BeanType type = new BeanType();
type.setTypeClass(obj.getClass());
type.setTypeMapping(context.getTypeMapping());
type.setSchemaType(new QName("http://"; +
obj.getClass().getPackage().getName(), obj.getClass().getSimpleName()));
type.writeObject(obj, mw, new Context(context));
xmlWriter.close();
return stringWriter.toString();
}
I'd appreciate any help, but mostly I'd appreciate seeing the few lines of code
that I imagine are all it would take to implement my marshal() method.
Thanks in advance.
