[Simple-support] How do you access field annotations from a custom Converter?

[James B. Jr. <de...@gm...>]

For some of my more complex data structures, I need to write my own
Converters. For instance, say I have a List<List<String>> that I need to
marshall. I've written the following:

    class WorldObject {

       @Element(name="vector-names")
       @Convert(ListListConverter.class)
       private List<List<String>> vectorNames;

       /** Constructor and other details elided... **/

    }

Along with the ListListConverter (I've left out the unmarshaller for the
moment):

    class ListListConverter implements Converter<List<List<String>>> {

       @Override
       public List<List<String>> read(InputNode node) throws Exception {
          // stub
          return null;
       }

       @Override
       public void write(OutputNode node, List<List<String>> value)
             throws Exception {

          node.setName("list-list-string");

          for (List<String> list : value) {
             OutputNode subList = node.getChild("list-string");

             for (String str : list) {
                OutputNode stringNode = subList.getChild("string");
                stringNode.setValue(str);
             }

             subList.commit();
          }

          node.commit();

       }

    }

This setup works fine, and produces the XML I want. I would, however, like
to have access to the `@Element` annotation's `name` field so that I can
give the tags the specified name (in this case, `"vector-names"`) rather
than the default name (`"list-list-string"`). This is how marshalling works
for all the types that Simple handles out of the box, so there must be a
way to access that data from a custom Converter.

How can I accomplish this?

Thank you very much,
