public interface Serializer

extends Serializer

This interface describes the AXIS Serializer. An Axis compliant Serializer must provide one or more of the following methods: public (Class javaType, QName xmlType) public () This will allow for construction of generic factories that introspect the class to determine how to construct a deserializer. The xmlType, javaType arguments are filled in with the values known by the factory.

Method Summary

void	serialize(QName name, org.xml.sax.Attributes attributes, java.lang.Object value, SerializationContext context) Serialize an element named name, with the indicated attributes and value.
org.w3c.dom.Element	writeSchema(java.lang.Class javaType, Types types) Return XML schema for the specified type, suitable for insertion into the <types> element of a WSDL document, or underneath an <element> or <attribute> declaration.
