Re: [Simple-support] Deserialization of type Calendar?

[<Nia...@ub...>]

Hi,

Well, you could change the PackageMatcher so that if it's a Calendar
then it converts to a GregorianCalendar (but this means that if the
field is Calendar then it will always be a GregorianCalendar). The
reason this does not work with class= is because non-annotated types go
straight to the Transformer. This relates to another similar issue
reported where you can't mix primitives and annotated types in a single
collection.

Hello Niall,

thanks for your quick reply.

I see that there is a transform for GregorianCalendar, but what I don't
understand is, why Simple can't figure out itself that it should use the
GregorianCalendar transform, because there is the
class="java.util.GregorianCalendar" attribute on the time element in the
XML code (furthermore, I can serialize it, but not deserialize it).

Isn't this the same case as if I use the list interface, whereas the XML
code will contain something like class="java.util.ArrayList" to denote
the concrete instance type?

My problem is, I have to serialize a lot of classes which all uses
"Calendar" as the type and not the concrete "GregorianCalendar". Of
course, all fields hold GregorianCalendar instances, but I can't change
all those types at the moment :-/

Is the change from "Calendar" to "GregorianCalender" in all domain model
classes really the only option I currently have?


Thanks a lot for your help!
