public abstract class AbstractXMLObjectMarshaller
extends Object
implements Marshaller

A thread safe, abstract implementation of the Marshaller interface. This class handles most of the boilerplate code:

• Ensuring elements to be marshalled are of either the correct xsi:type or element QName
• Setting the appropriate namespace and prefix for the marshalled element
• Setting the xsi:type for the element if the element has an explicit type
• Setting namespaces attributes declared for the element
• Marshalling of child elements

Constructor Detail

AbstractXMLObjectMarshaller

protected AbstractXMLObjectMarshaller()

Constructor.

AbstractXMLObjectMarshaller

protected AbstractXMLObjectMarshaller(String targetNamespaceURI,
                                      String targetLocalName)

Deprecated. no replacement

This constructor supports checking an XMLObject to be marshalled, either element name or schema type, against a given namespace/local name pair.

Parameters:

targetNamespaceURI - the namespace URI of either the schema type QName or element QName of the elements this unmarshaller operates on

targetLocalName - the local name of either the schema type QName or element QName of the elements this unmarshaller operates on

Method Detail

marshall

public Element marshall(XMLObject xmlObject)
                 throws MarshallingException

Marshall this element, and its children, and root them in a newly created Document. The Document is created by a DocumentBuilder obtained from a DocumentBuilderFactory created without any additional parameters or properties set; that is the system defaults properties are used.

Specified by:

marshall in interface Marshaller

Parameters:

xmlObject - the object to marshall

Returns:

the W3C DOM element representing this SAML element

Throws:

MarshallingException - thrown if there is a problem marshalling the given object

marshall

public Element marshall(XMLObject xmlObject,
                        Document document)
                 throws MarshallingException

Marshall this element, and its children, into a W3C DOM element. If the document does not have a Document Element the Element resulting from this marshalling will be set as the Document Element.

Specified by:

marshall in interface Marshaller

Parameters:

xmlObject - the object to marshall

document - the DOM document the marshalled element will be placed in

Returns:

the W3C DOM element representing this XMLObject

Throws:

MarshallingException - thrown if there is a problem marshalling the given object

marshall

public Element marshall(XMLObject xmlObject,
                        Element parentElement)
                 throws MarshallingException

Marshall the given XMLObject and append it as a child to the given parent element. NOTE: The given Element must be within a DOM tree whose root is the root of the Document owning the given Element.

Specified by:

marshall in interface Marshaller

Parameters:

xmlObject - the XMLObject to be marshalled

parentElement - the parent of the Element resulting from marshalling the given XMLObject

Returns:

the marshalled XMLObject

Throws:

MarshallingException - thrown if the given XMLObject can not be marshalled.

setDocumentElement

protected void setDocumentElement(Document document,
                                  Element element)

Sets the given element as the Document Element of the given Document. If the document already has a Document Element it is replaced by the given element.

Parameters:

document - the document

element - the Element that will serve as the Document Element

marshallInto

protected Element marshallInto(XMLObject xmlObject,
                               Element targetElement)
                        throws MarshallingException

Marshalls the given XMLObject into the given DOM Element. The DOM Element must be within a DOM tree whose root is the Document Element of the Document that owns the given DOM Element.

Parameters:

xmlObject - the XMLObject to marshall

targetElement - the Element into which the XMLObject is marshalled into

Returns:

the DOM element the XMLObject is marshalled into

Throws:

MarshallingException - thrown if there is a problem marshalling the object

checkXMLObjectIsTarget

protected void checkXMLObjectIsTarget(XMLObject xmlObject)
                               throws MarshallingException

Checks to make sure the given XMLObject's schema type or element QName matches the target parameters given at marshaller construction time.

Parameters:

xmlObject - the XMLObject to marshall

Throws:

MarshallingException - thrown if the given object is not or the required type

marshallNamespacePrefix

protected void marshallNamespacePrefix(XMLObject xmlObject,
                                       Element domElement)

Marshalls the namespace prefix of the XMLObject into the DOM element.

Parameters:
