Method Detail

newState

TransformationState newState()

Create a state object to share the state between the processor and transformer.

resolveType

TypeDescriptor resolveType(TransformationState state)
                           throws ClassNotFoundException

Resolves the class to use for the current node.

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException

getChildren

Collection<Content> getChildren(Content node)

Returns the children of the node to be transformed. Those are normally the direct children but might differ.

newBeanInstance

Object newBeanInstance(TransformationState state,

              throws Content2BeanException

Called after all properties are set.

Throws:

Content2BeanException

setProperty

void setProperty(TransformationState state,
                 PropertyTypeDescriptor descriptor,
                 Map<String,Object> values)

Set this property on that bean. Allows excluding of properties.

convertPropertyValue

Object convertPropertyValue(Class<?> propertyType,
                            Object value)
                            throws Content2BeanException
