org.springframework.messaging.converter.MarshallingMessageConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

MessageConverter, SmartMessageConverter

public class MarshallingMessageConverter
extends AbstractMessageConverter

Implementation of MessageConverter that can read and write XML using Spring's Marshaller and Unmarshaller abstractions.

This converter requires a Marshaller and Unmarshaller before it can be used. These can be injected by the constructor or bean properties.

Constructor Details

MarshallingMessageConverter

public MarshallingMessageConverter()

Default construct allowing for setMarshaller(Marshaller) and/or setUnmarshaller(Unmarshaller) to be invoked separately.

MarshallingMessageConverter

public MarshallingMessageConverter(MimeType... supportedMimeTypes)

Constructor with a given list of MIME types to support.

Parameters:

supportedMimeTypes - the MIME types

MarshallingMessageConverter

public MarshallingMessageConverter(Marshaller marshaller)

Constructor with Marshaller. If the given Marshaller also implements Unmarshaller, it is also used for unmarshalling.

Note that all Marshaller implementations in Spring also implement Unmarshaller so that you can safely use this constructor.

Parameters:

marshaller - object used as marshaller and unmarshaller

Method Details

setMarshaller

public void setMarshaller(@Nullable
 Marshaller marshaller)

Set the Marshaller to be used by this message converter.

getMarshaller

@Nullable
public Marshaller getMarshaller()

Return the configured Marshaller.

setUnmarshaller

public void setUnmarshaller(@Nullable
 Unmarshaller unmarshaller)

Set the Unmarshaller to be used by this message converter.

getUnmarshaller

@Nullable
public Unmarshaller getUnmarshaller()

Return the configured unmarshaller.

canConvertFrom

protected boolean canConvertFrom(Message<?> message,
 Class<?> targetClass)

Overrides:

canConvertFrom in class AbstractMessageConverter

canConvertTo

protected boolean canConvertTo(Object payload,
 @Nullable
 MessageHeaders headers)

Overrides:

canConvertTo in class AbstractMessageConverter

supports

protected boolean supports(Class<?> clazz)

Description copied from class: AbstractMessageConverter

Whether the given class is supported by this converter.

Specified by:

supports in class AbstractMessageConverter

Parameters:

clazz - the class to test for support

Returns:

true if supported; false otherwise

convertFromInternal

@Nullable
protected Object convertFromInternal(Message<?> message,
 Class<?> targetClass,
 @Nullable
 Object conversionHint)

Description copied from class: AbstractMessageConverter

Convert the message payload from serialized form to an Object.

Overrides:

convertFromInternal in class AbstractMessageConverter

Parameters:

message - the input message

targetClass - the target class for the conversion

conversionHint - an extra object passed to the MessageConverter, e.g. the associated MethodParameter (may be null}

Returns:

the result of the conversion, or null if the converter cannot perform the conversion

convertToInternal

@Nullable
protected Object convertToInternal(Object payload,
 @Nullable
 MessageHeaders headers,
 @Nullable
 Object conversionHint)

Description copied from class: AbstractMessageConverter

Convert the payload object to serialized form.

Overrides:

convertToInternal in class AbstractMessageConverter

Parameters:

payload - the Object to convert

headers - optional headers for the message (may be null)

conversionHint - an extra object passed to the MessageConverter, e.g. the associated MethodParameter (may be null}

Returns:

the resulting payload for the message, or null if the converter cannot perform the conversion
