Class ExtendableBeanConverter

java.lang.Object

org.apache.shindig.protocol.conversion.xstream.ExtendableBeanConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.Converter, com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.ConverterMatcher

public class ExtendableBeanConverter
extends Object
implements com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.Converter

Serializes an ExtendableBeanImpl type as a Map instead of a POJO. Note: For an ExtendableBean field within a POJO to be properly serialized to XML, the field must still be hardcoded into the POJO, even if the POJO itself is an ExtendableBean. This is because POJOs are still serialized to XML normally to preserve custom formatting (hence why this class ONLY converts ExtendableBeanImpl). If xstream does not expect the ExtendableBean field, it will not serialize it. This does not, however, affect JSON serialization, which always works without predefining the field when extending ExtendableBean.
