      • getIndent

        public int getIndent()
        Get current nesting indent spaces. This returns the number of spaces used to show indenting, if used.
        Specified by:
        getIndent in interface IMarshallingContext
        Returns:
        number of spaces indented per level, or negative if indentation disabled
      • setIndent

        public void setIndent​(int count)
        Set nesting indent spaces. This is advisory only, and implementations of this interface are free to ignore it. The intent is to indicate that the generated output should use indenting to illustrate element nesting.
        Specified by:
        setIndent in interface IMarshallingContext
        Parameters:
        count - number of spaces to indent per level, or disable indentation if negative
      • setIndent

        public void setIndent​(int count,
                              String newline,
                              char indent)
        Set nesting indentation. This is advisory only, and implementations of this interface are free to ignore it. The intent is to indicate that the generated output should use indenting to illustrate element nesting.
        Specified by:
        setIndent in interface IMarshallingContext
        Parameters:
        count - number of character to indent per level, or disable indentation if negative (zero means new line only)
        newline - sequence of characters used for a line ending (null means use the single character '\n')
        indent - whitespace character used for indentation
      • setFromContext

        public void setFromContext​(MarshallingContext parent)
                            throws IOException
        Initializes the context to use the same marshalled text destination and parameters as another marshalling context. This method is designed for use when an initial context needs to create and invoke a secondary context (generally from a different binding) in the course of an marshalling operation. Note that once the secondary context has been used it's generally necessary to do a XMLWriterBase.flush() operation on the writer used by the that context before resuming output on the parent.
        Parameters:
        parent - context supplying target for marshalled document text
        Throws:
        IOException - on error writing output
      • reset

        public void reset()
        Reset to initial state for reuse. The context is serially reusable, as long as this method is called to clear any retained state information between uses. It is automatically called when output is set.
        Specified by:
        reset in interface IMarshallingContext
      • getFactory

        public IBindingFactory getFactory()
        Return the binding factory used to create this unmarshaller.
        Returns:
        binding factory
      • getNamespaces

        public String[] getNamespaces()
        Get namespace URIs for mapping. This gets the full ordered array of namespaces known in the binding used for this marshalling, where the index number of each namespace URI is the namespace index used to lookup the prefix when marshalling a name in that namespace. The returned array must not be modified.
        Returns:
        array of namespaces
      • startDocument

                            throws JiBXException
        Define marshalling for class. Adds the marshalling definition for a particular mapping name.
        Parameters:
        mapname - mapping name associated with unmarshaller
        name - marshaller class name handling
        Throws:
        JiBXException - if unknown mapping name
      • removeMarshalling

        public void removeMarshalling​(String mapname)
                               throws JiBXException
        Undefine marshalling for element. Removes the marshalling definition for a particular mapping name.
        Parameters:
        mapname - mapping name associated with unmarshaller
        Throws:
        JiBXException - if unknown mapping name
      • startTagNamespaces

        public MarshallingContext startTagNamespaces​(int index,
                                                     String name,
                                                     int[] nums,

                                              throws JiBXException
        Generate start tag for element with namespaces. This creates the actual start tag, along with any necessary namespace declarations. Previously active namespace declarations are not duplicated. The tag is left incomplete, allowing other attributes to be added. TODO: Handle nested default namespaces declarations, prefixes for outers
        Parameters:
        index - namespace URI index number
        name - element name
        nums - array of namespace indexes defined by this element (must be constant, reference is kept until end of element)
        prefs - array of namespace prefixes mapped by this element (no null values, use "" for default namespace declaration)
        Returns:
        this context (to allow chained calls)
        Throws:
        JiBXException - on any error (possibly wrapping other exception)
      • getMarshaller

        public IMarshaller getMarshaller​(String mapname)
                                  throws JiBXException
        Find the marshaller for a particular class index in the current context.
        Specified by:
        getMarshaller in interface IMarshallingContext
        Parameters:
        mapname - marshaller mapping name (generally the class name to be handled, or abstract mapping type name)
        Returns:
        marshalling handler for class
        Throws:
        JiBXException - on any error (possibly wrapping other exception)
      • marshalRoot

        protected void marshalRoot​(Object root)
                            throws JiBXException
        Marshal document from root object. This internal method just verifies that the object is marshallable, then calls the marshal method on the object itself.
        Parameters:
        root - object at root of structure to be marshalled, which must have a top-level mapping in the binding
        Throws:
        JiBXException - on any error (possibly wrapping other exception)
      • marshalDocument

        public void marshalDocument​(Object root)
                             throws JiBXException
        Marshal document from root object without XML declaration. This can only be validly called immediately following one of the set output methods; otherwise the output document will be corrupt. The effect of this method is the same as the sequence of a call to marshal the root object using this context followed by a call to endDocument().
        Specified by:
        marshalDocument in interface IMarshallingContext
        Parameters:
        root - object at root of structure to be marshalled, which must have a top-level mapping in the binding
        Throws:
        JiBXException - on any error (possibly wrapping other exception)
      • marshalDocument

        public void marshalDocument​(Object root,
                                    String enc,
                                    Boolean alone)
                             throws JiBXException
        Marshal document from root object. This can only be validly called immediately following one of the set output methods; otherwise the output document will be corrupt. The effect of this method is the same as the sequence of a call to startDocument(java.lang.String, java.lang.Boolean), a call to marshal the root object using this context, and finally a call to endDocument().
        Specified by:
        marshalDocument in interface IMarshallingContext
        Parameters:
        root - object at root of structure to be marshalled, which must have a top-level mapping in the binding
        enc - document encoding, null if not specified
        alone - standalone document flag, null if not specified
        Throws:
        JiBXException - on any error (possibly wrapping other exception)
      • marshalDocument

        public void marshalDocument​(Object root,

                             throws JiBXException
        Marshal document from root object to output stream with encoding. The effect of this method is the same as the sequence of a call to startDocument(java.lang.String, java.lang.Boolean), a call to marshal the root object using this context, and finally a call to endDocument().
        Specified by:
        marshalDocument in interface IMarshallingContext
        Parameters:
        root - object at root of structure to be marshalled, which must have a top-level mapping in the binding
        enc - document encoding, null if not specified
        alone - standalone document flag, null if not specified
        outs - stream for document data output
        Throws:
        JiBXException - on any error (possibly wrapping other exception)
      • marshalDocument

        public void marshalDocument​(Object root,
                                    String enc,

                             throws JiBXException
        Marshal document from root object to writer. The effect of this method is the same as the sequence of a call to startDocument(java.lang.String, java.lang.Boolean), a call to marshal the root object using this context, and finally a call to endDocument().
        Specified by:
        marshalDocument in interface IMarshallingContext
        Parameters:
        root - object at root of structure to be marshalled, which must have a top-level mapping in the binding
        enc - document encoding, null if not specified
        alone - standalone document flag, null if not specified
        outw - writer for document data output
        Throws:
        JiBXException - on any error (possibly wrapping other exception)
      • pushNamespaces

        public void pushNamespaces​(String factname)
        Use namespace indexes from a separate binding, as identified by that binding's factory class name. The target binding must be a precompiled base binding of the binding used to create this marshalling context, either directly or by way of some other precompiled base binding(s).
        Specified by:
        pushNamespaces in interface IMarshallingContext
        Parameters:
        factname - binding factory class name for binding defining namespaces
      • popNamespaces

        public void popNamespaces()
        End use of namespace indexes from a separate binding. This will undo the effect of the most-recent call to pushNamespaces(String), restoring whatever namespace usage was in effect prior to that call.
        Specified by:
        popNamespaces in interface IMarshallingContext
      • getIdMap

        public HashMap getIdMap()
        Get shared ID map. The ID map returned is not used directly by the marshalling code, but is provided to support user extensions.
        Returns:
        ID map
      • setUserContext

        public void setUserContext​(Object obj)
        Set a user context object. This context object is not used directly by JiBX, but can be accessed by all types of user extension methods. The context object is automatically cleared by the reset() method, so to make use of this you need to first call the appropriate version of the setOutput() method, then this method, and finally one of the marshalDocument methods which uses the previously-set output (not the ones which take a stream or writer as parameter, since they call setOutput() themselves).
        Specified by:
        setUserContext in interface IMarshallingContext
        Parameters:
        obj - user context object, or null if clearing existing context object
        See Also:
        getUserContext()
      • pushObject

        public void pushObject​(Object obj)
        Push created object to marshalling stack. This must be called before beginning the marshalling of the object. It is only called for objects with structure, not for those converted directly to and from text.
        Specified by:
        pushObject in interface IMarshallingContext
        Parameters:
        obj - object being marshalled
      • getStackDepth

        public int getStackDepth()
        Get current marshalling object stack depth. This allows tracking nested calls to marshal one object while in the process of marshalling another object. The bottom item on the stack is always the root object being marshalled.
        Specified by:
        getStackDepth in interface IMarshallingContext
        Returns:
        number of objects in marshalling stack
      • getStackObject

        public Object getStackObject​(int depth)
        Get object from marshalling stack. This stack allows tracking nested calls to marshal one object while in the process of marshalling another object. The bottom item on the stack is always the root object being marshalled.
        Specified by:
        getStackObject in interface IMarshallingContext
        Parameters:
        depth - object depth in stack to be retrieved (must be in the range of zero to the current depth minus one).
        Returns:
        object from marshalling stack
      • getStackTop

        public Object getStackTop()
        Get top object on marshalling stack. This is safe to call even when no objects are on the stack.
        Specified by:
        getStackTop in interface IMarshallingContext
        Returns:
        object from marshalling stack, or null if none
