There might be instances where the existing serializers and deserializers provided with the WST are not adequate to expose a class or component through SOAP. In this case, you must create custom serializer and deserializer classes to perform the necessary actions to convert the class to and from XML.
A new serializer and deserializer requires a new Java class
that implements the javax.xml.rpc.encoding.Serializer for
the serializer and javax.xml.rpc.encoding.DeSerializer for
the deserializer.
The following nonbeansample example
illustrates various aspects of creating a serializer and deserializer
for a user-defined datatype.
The following listing contains these files:
Book.java – the type class, which needs a custom serializer/deserializer since it’s not a valid Java Bean or a type for which WST provides built in mappings (like IDL types).
BookSerFactory – the factory used to get the serializer. Currently WST supports only SAX serializer/deserializer, but factory is the interface to get XML parser specific serializers/deserializers.
BookDeserFactory – the factory used to get the deserializer.
BookSerializer – contains the logic to convert Java type to XML, also contains write schema which can be implemented. Write schema is used during WSDL generation. This class implements javax.xml.rpc.encoding.Serializer.
BookDeserializer – contains the logic to
convert XML to java type. This class is an extension of org.apache.axis.encoding.DeserializerImpl and
provides the base functionality. The deserializerImpl class
implements the javax.xml.rpc.encoding.Deserializer.
You can also write all the deserialization logic on your own.
