/**
* The PrimitiveArrayTransform
is used to transform
* arrays to and from string representations, which will be inserted
* in the generated XML document as the value place holder. The
* value must be readable and writable in the same format. Fields
* and methods annotated with the XML attribute annotation will use
* this to persist and retrieve the value to and from the XML source.
*
*
* @Attribute
* private int[] text;
*
*
* As well as the XML attribute values using transforms, fields and
* methods annotated with the XML element annotation will use this.
* Aside from the obvious difference, the element annotation has an
* advantage over the attribute annotation in that it can maintain
* any references using the CycleStrategy
object.
