public interface Serializer

extends Serializer (src)

This interface describes the AXIS Serializer. An Axis compliant Serializer must provide one or more of the following methods:

public (Class javaType, QName xmlType) public ()

This will allow for construction of generic factories that introspect the class to determine how to construct a deserializer. The xmlType, javaType arguments are filled in with the values known by the factory.

serialize

public void serialize(QName (src)  name,
                      org.xml.sax.Attributes attributes,

                                       Types (src)  types)
                                throws java.lang.Exception
