XMLDirectMapping

Requirements

Provide support for XML direct mapping configuration via XML metadata file.

The following structures are to be extended to support XML direct mapping configuration:

The following should be configurable:

Design

Basic XML direct mapping support

We will use the xml-attribute, xml-element and xml-value structures to support direct mappings. For example, the following XML metadata snippet would be used to setup a direct mapping for an empId attribute:

<xml-attribute java-attribute="empId" />

If empId was to be mapped to id, then the following would be used:

<xml-attribute java-attribute="empId" name="id" />

The same example mapped to an id element:

<xml-element java-attribute="empId" name="id" />

The same example mapped to a simple type:

<xml-value java-attribute="empId" />

Path-based mapping support

We will support path-based mappings on xml-attribute and xml-element via xml-path attribute. If xml-path is present, it is assumed to contain the entire XPath, hence the name and namespace attributes - if set - will be ignored, as well as any xml-element-wrapper declarations. Path-based mappings will not apply to xml-value. An example of configuring a path-based XML direct mapping can be found below, and additional information/examples here.

Positional Mappings

Positional mappings will be supported on xml-element. An example of configuring a positional XML direct mapping can be found below and additional information/examples here. Note that positional mappings cannot be applied to xml-attribute or xml-value.

Read Only

Read only will be supported via boolean attribute on xml-attribute, xml-element and xml-value. An example of configuring a read only XML direct mapping can be found below and here.

Write Only

Write only will be supported via boolean attribute on xml-attribute, xml-element and xml-value. An example of configuring a write only XML direct mapping can be found below and here.

CDATA

CDATA will be supported via boolean attribute on xml-element and xml-value. An example of configuring a XML direct mapping as CDATA can be found below and here. Note that CDATA cannot be applied to xml-attribute.

Null Poilcy

Null policy will be supported via sub-element on xml-attribute, xml-element and xml-value. The proposed schema modifications for the global null policy elements/complex types can be found here. An example of configuring a null policy on an XML direct mapping can be found below.

Get/Set Method Names

The get/set method names on xml-attribute, xml-element and xml-value will be configurable via sub-element. An example of configuring the accessor methods on a XML direct mapping can be found below, and additional examples and proposed schema changes can be found here.

Example: `xml-attribute` & `xml-element`

The following example will demonstrate how to configure XML direct mappings via XML metadata by using xml-attribute & xml-element.

org.example.Employee.java

package org.example;
 
public class Employee {
    public int empId;
    public int projectId;
    public String firstName;
    public String lastName;
    public String projectName;
    public String data1;
    public String data2;
    public double salary;
    public String privateData;
    public String characterData; 
    public String someString;
    public String aString;
 
    @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlTransient
    public boolean isSomeStringSet;
 
    String getProject() {
        return projectName; 
    }
 
    void setProject(String name) {
        projectName = name;
    }
 
    String getSomeString() { 
        return someString; 
    }
 
    void setSomeString(String str) {
        someString = str; 
    }
 
    public boolean isSetSomeString(Boolean ignoredParam) {
        return isSomeStringSet;
    }
 
    String getAString() { 
        return aString; 
    }
 
    void setAString(String str) {
        aString = str; 
    }
}

+== Design ==
+=== Basic XML direct mapping support ===
+We will use the <code>xml-attribute</code>, <code>xml-element</code> and <code>xml-value</code> structures to support direct mappings.  For example, the following XML metadata snippet would be used to setup a direct mapping for an <code>empId</code> attribute:
+<source lang="xml">
+<xml-attribute java-attribute="empId" />
+</source>
+If <code>empId</code> was to be mapped to <code>id</code>, then the following would be used:
+<source lang="xml">
+<xml-attribute java-attribute="empId" name="id" />
+</source>
+The same example mapped to an <code>id</code> element:
+<source lang="xml">
+<xml-element java-attribute="empId" name="id" />
+</source>
+The same example mapped to a simple type:
+<source lang="xml">
+<xml-value java-attribute="empId" />
+</source>
+=== Path-based mapping support ===
+We will support path-based mappings on <code>xml-attribute</code> and <code>xml-element</code> via xml-path attribute. If xml-path is present, it is assumed to contain the entire XPath, hence the name and namespace attributes - if set - will be ignored, as well as any xml-element-wrapper declarations. Path-based mappings will not apply to <code>xml-value</code>.  An example of configuring a path-based XML direct mapping can be found [http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/DesignDocs/293925/XMLDirectMapping#org.2Fexample.2Feclipselink-oxm.xml below], and additional information/examples [http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/DesignDocs/293925/MOXyExtensions#Basic_configuration here].
+=== Positional Mappings ===
+Positional mappings will be supported on <code>xml-element</code>.  An example of configuring a positional XML direct mapping can be found [http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/DesignDocs/293925/XMLDirectMapping#org.2Fexample.2Feclipselink-oxm.xml below] and additional information/examples [http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/DesignDocs/293925/MOXyExtensions#Positional_Mappings here].  Note that positional mappings cannot be applied to <code>xml-attribute</code> or <code>xml-value</code>.
+=== Read Only ===
+Read only will be supported via boolean attribute on <code>xml-attribute</code>, <code>xml-element</code> and <code>xml-value</code>.  An example of configuring a read only XML direct mapping can be found [http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/DesignDocs/293925/XMLDirectMapping#org.2Fexample.2Feclipselink-oxm.xml below] and [http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/DesignDocs/293925/MOXyExtensions#Read_only here].
+=== Write Only ===
+Write only will be supported via boolean attribute on <code>xml-attribute</code>, <code>xml-element</code> and <code>xml-value</code>.  An example of configuring a write only XML direct mapping can be found [http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/DesignDocs/293925/XMLDirectMapping#org.2Fexample.2Feclipselink-oxm.xml below] and [http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/DesignDocs/293925/MOXyExtensions#Write_only here].
+=== CDATA ===
+CDATA will be supported via boolean attribute on <code>xml-element</code> and <code>xml-value</code>.  An example of configuring a XML direct mapping as CDATA can be found [http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/DesignDocs/293925/XMLDirectMapping#org.2Fexample.2Feclipselink-oxm.xml below] and [http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/DesignDocs/293925/MOXyExtensions#CDATA here].  Note that CDATA cannot be applied to <code>xml-attribute</code>.
+=== Null Poilcy ===
+Null policy will be supported via sub-element on <code>xml-attribute</code>, <code>xml-element</code> and <code>xml-value</code>.  The proposed schema modifications for the global null policy elements/complex types can be found [http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/DesignDocs/293925/MOXyExtensions#Null_Policy here].  An example of configuring a null policy on an XML direct mapping can be found [http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/DesignDocs/293925/XMLDirectMapping#org.2Fexample.2Feclipselink-oxm.xml below].
+=== Get/Set Method Names ===
+The get/set method names on <code>xml-attribute</code>, <code>xml-element</code> and <code>xml-value</code> will be configurable via sub-element.  An example of configuring the accessor methods on a XML direct mapping can be found [http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/DesignDocs/293925/XMLDirectMapping#org.2Fexample.2Feclipselink-oxm.xml below], and additional examples and proposed schema changes can be found [http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/DesignDocs/293925/MOXyExtensions#Get.2FSet_Method_Names here].
