public ResourceMappingLoader()
                      throws org.exolab.castor.mapping.MappingException

Creates the ResourceMappingLoader

Method Detail

getDescriptor

public org.exolab.castor.mapping.ClassDescriptor getDescriptor(java.lang.Class type)

Returns the class descriptor for the specified Java class. In no such descriptor exists, returns null.

If the type comes from an object created by a field whose type is ResourceConfig then a special class descriptor is created and returned.

Parameters:

type - The Java class

Returns:

A suitable class descriptor or null

createFieldDesc

protected org.exolab.castor.mapping.FieldDescriptor createFieldDesc(java.lang.Class javaClass,
                                                                    org.exolab.castor.mapping.xml.FieldMapping fieldMap)
                                                             throws org.exolab.castor.mapping.MappingException

Creates a single field descriptor. The field mapping is used to create a new stock FieldDescriptor.

If the java class is a subclass of ResourceConfig then the field handler of the default field descriptor is overridden with #SpyFieldHandlerImpl.

Parameters:

javaClass - The class to which the field belongs

fieldMap - The field mapping information

Returns:

The field descriptor

Throws:

org.exolab.castor.mapping.MappingException - The field or its accessor methods are not found, not accessible, not of the specified type, etc
