Class XMLSerializationMethodHandler

    java.lang.Object
      weka.core.xml.XMLSerializationMethodHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:
  RevisionHandler

    public class XMLSerializationMethodHandler

extends java.lang.Object
implements RevisionHandler

This class handles relationships between display names of properties (or classes) and Methods that are associated with them. It differentiates between read and write methods. It automatically stores public methods that have the same signature as the `readFromXML()` and `writeToXML()` methods in the `XMLSerialization` class.

Constructor Summary
`XMLSerializationMethodHandler(java.lang.Object owner)` initializes the method handling, executes also `clear()`, which adds initial methods automatically.

Method Summary
`void` | `clear()` removes all current methods and adds the methods according to the
`static java.lang.reflect.Method` | `findReadMethod(java.lang.Object o, java.lang.String name)` returns the method with the given name that has the same signature as `readFromXML()` of the `XMLSerialiation` class.
`static java.lang.reflect.Method` | `findWriteMethod(java.lang.Object o, java.lang.String name)` returns the method with the given name that has the same signature as `writeToXML()` of the `XMLSerialiation` class.
`java.lang.String` | `getRevision()` Returns the revision string.
`MethodHandler` | `read()` returns the handler for read methods
`void` | `register(java.lang.Object handler, java.lang.Class cls, java.lang.String name)` adds read and write methods for the given class, i.e., read&;lt;name> and write<name> ("name" is prefixed by read and write)
`java.lang.String` | `toString()` returns the read and write method handlers as string
`MethodHandler` | `write()` returns the handler for write methods

Constructor Detail

### XMLSerializationMethodHandler

    public XMLSerializationMethodHandler(java.lang.Object owner)
                                  throws java.lang.Exception

  initializes the method handling, executes also `clear()`, which adds initial methods automatically.

  Parameters:
    `owner` - the owner to retrieve the methods from
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception` - if initialization fails
  See Also:
    `clear()`

Method Detail

### findReadMethod

    public static java.lang.reflect.Method findReadMethod(java.lang.Object o,
                                                          java.lang.String name)

  returns the method with the given name that has the same signature as `readFromXML()` of the `XMLSerialiation` class. simplifies the adding of custom methods.

  Parameters:
    `o` - the object to inspect
    `name` - the name of the method to return
  Returns:
    either `null` if no method was found or a reference
  See Also:
    `XMLSerialization.readFromXML(Element)`

### findWriteMethod

    public static java.lang.reflect.Method findWriteMethod(java.lang.Object o,
                                                           java.lang.String name)

  returns the method with the given name that has the same signature as `writeToXML()` of the `XMLSerialiation` class. simplifies the adding of custom methods.

  Parameters:
    `o` - the object to inspect
    `name` - the name of the method to return
  Returns:
    either `null` if no method was found or a reference
  See Also:
    `XMLSerialization.writeToXML(Element, Object, String)`

### clear

    public void clear()

  removes all current methods and adds the methods according to the

### read

    public MethodHandler read()

  returns the handler for read methods

  Returns:
    the methodhandler for read methods

### write

    public MethodHandler write()

  returns the handler for write methods

                         java.lang.String name)

  adds read and write methods for the given class, i.e., read&;lt;name> and write<name> ("name" is prefixed by read and write)

  Parameters:
    `handler` - the handler class that contains the read and write method
    `cls` - the class to register the read and write method for
    `name` - the suffix of the read and write method

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  returns the read and write method handlers as string

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `java.lang.Object`
  Returns:
    the read/write method handlers as string

### getRevision

    public java.lang.String getRevision()

  Returns the revision string.

  Specified by:
    `getRevision` in interface `RevisionHandler`
  Returns:
    the revision
