Examples of com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.JaxBeanInfo.serializeRoot()

com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.JaxBeanInfo.serializeRoot()

Serializes the bean as the root element.

In the java-to-schema binding, an object might marshal in two different ways depending on whether it is used as the root of the graph or not. In the former case, an object could marshal as an element, whereas in the latter case, it marshals as a type.

This method is used to marshal the root of the object graph to allow this semantics to be implemented.

It is doubtful to me if it's a good idea for an object to marshal in two ways depending on the context.

For schema-to-java, this is equivalent to {@link #serializeBody(Object,XMLSerializer)}.

                        if(bi.jaxbType==Object.class && domHandler!=null)
                            // even if 'v' is a DOM node, it always derive from Object,
                            // so the getBeanInfo returns BeanInfo for Object
                            w.writeDom(item,domHandler,o,fieldName);
                        else
                            bi.serializeRoot(item,w);
                    }
                }
            } catch (JAXBException e) {
                w.reportError(fieldName,e);
                // recover by ignoring this item

                if(bi.jaxbType==Object.class && domHandler!=null)
                    // even if 'v' is a DOM node, it always derive from Object,
                    // so the getBeanInfo returns BeanInfo for Object
                    w.writeDom(v,domHandler,o,fieldName);
                else
                    bi.serializeRoot(v,w);
            } catch (JAXBException e) {
                w.reportError(fieldName,e);
                // recover by ignoring this property
            }
        }
