Method Details

addClass

public void addClass(Class cls)
            throws MappingException
Adds the given Class to the mapping file
Parameters:
cls - the Class to add

addClass

public void addClass(Class cls,
                     boolean deep)
            throws MappingException
Adds the given Class to the mapping file. If the deep flag is true, all mappings for Classes used by the given Class will also be added to the mapping file.
Parameters:
cls - the Class to add
deep - a flag to indicate that recursive processing should take place and all classes used by the given class should also be added to the mapping file. This flag is true by default.

addClass

public void addClass(String name)
            throws MappingException
Adds the Class, specified by the given name, to the mapping file
Parameters:
name - the name of the Class to add

addClass

public void addClass(String name,
                     boolean deep)
            throws MappingException
Adds the Class, specified by the given name, to the mapping file
Parameters:
name - the name of the Class to add
deep - a flag to indicate that recursive processing should take place and all classes used by the given class should also be added to the mapping file. This flag is true by default.

main

public static void main(String[] args)
Command line method

setForceIntrospection

public void setForceIntrospection(boolean force)
Enables or disables the forcing of introspection when a ClassDescriptor already exists. This is false by default.
Parameters:
force - when true will cause the MappingTool to always use introspection regardless of whether or not a ClassDescriptor exists for a given Class.

write

public void write(Writer writer)
            throws MappingException
Serializes the mapping to the given writer
Parameters:
writer - the Writer to serialize the mapping to
