/**
 * JAXB-induced mapping between a Java class
 * and an XML element declaration. A part of the compiler artifacts.
 *
 * 

* To be precise, this is a mapping between two Java classes and an * XML element declaration. There's one Java class/interface that * represents the element, and there's another Java class/interface that * represents the type of the element. * * The former is called "element representation" and the latter is called * "type representation". * *

* The {@link Mapping} interface provides operation that lets the caller * convert an instance of the element representation to that of the * type representation or vice versa. * * @author * Kohsuke Kawaguchi ([email protected]) */ public interface Mapping { /** * Name of the XML element. * * @return * never be null. */ QName getElement(); /** * Returns the fully-qualified name of the java class for the type of this element. * * TODO: does this method returns the name of the wrapper bean when it's qualified * for the wrapper style? Seems no (consider <xs:element name='foo' type='xs:long' />), * but then how does JAX-RPC captures that bean? * * @return * never be null. */ TypeAndAnnotation getType(); /** * If this element is a so-called "wrapper-style" element, * obtains its member information. * *

* The notion of the wrapper style should be defined by the JAXB spec, * and ideally it should differ from that of the JAX-RPC only at * the point where the JAX-RPC imposes additional restriction * on the element name. * *

* As of this writing the JAXB spec doesn't define "the wrapper style" * and as such the exact definition of what XJC thinks * "the wrapper style" isn't spec-ed. * *

* Ths returned list includes {@link Property} defined not just * in this class but in all its base classes. * * @return * null if this isn't a wrapper-style element. * Otherwise list of {@link Property}s. The order signifies * the order they appeared inside a schema. */ List getWrapperStyleDrilldown(); }
