    • 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.

    • 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

      Specified by:
      reset in interface IMarshallingContext
    • getFactory

      public IBindingFactory getFactory()

      Returns:
      binding factory

      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

      public void startDocument(String enc, Boolean alone) throws JiBXException

    • 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

    • getUserContext

      public Object getUserContext()
      Get the user context object.
      Specified by:
      getUserContext in interface IMarshallingContext
      Returns:
      user context object, or null if no context object set

    • 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
    • popObject

      public void popObject() throws JiBXException
      Pop marshalled object from stack.
      Specified by:
      popObject in interface IMarshallingContext
      Throws:
      JiBXException - if no object on stack
    • 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
