    • Method Detail

      • canConvert

        public boolean canConvert​(java.lang.Class cls)
        Determines whether this converter instance handles the given class.
        Specified by:
        canConvert in interface com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.ConverterMatcher
        Parameters:
        cls - the class to be tested
        Returns:
        true if this instance handles class (this is only the case if it is a NullValueType class), false else

      • marshal

        public void marshal​(java.lang.Object object,
                    com.thoughtworks.xstream.io.HierarchicalStreamWriter writer,
                    com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.MarshallingContext context)
        Marshals a given object to the given writer in the specified marshaling context. This method translates a NullValueType type singleton to a name.
        Specified by:
        marshal in interface com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.Converter
        Parameters:
        object - the object to be marshaled
        writer - the output stream writer
        context - the marshaling context

      • unmarshal

        public java.lang.Object unmarshal​(com.thoughtworks.xstream.io.HierarchicalStreamReader reader,
                                  com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.UnmarshallingContext context)
        Unmarshals the current object to be read from the given reader in the specified unmarshaling context. This method translates the name back to the singleton instance.
        Specified by:
        unmarshal in interface com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.Converter
        Parameters:
        reader - the input stream writer
        context - the marshaling context
        Returns:
        the unmarshaled object
