Class ObjectToXml

java.lang.Object

org.mule.transformer.AbstractTransformer

org.mule.transformer.AbstractMessageAwareTransformer

org.mule.module.xml.transformer.AbstractXStreamTransformer

org.mule.module.xml.transformer.ObjectToXml

All Implemented Interfaces:

Initialisable, NamedObject, BaseTransformer, Transformer

public class ObjectToXml
extends AbstractXStreamTransformer

ObjectToXml converts any object to XML using Xstream. Xstream uses some clever tricks so objects that get marshalled to XML do not need to implement any interfaces including Serializable and you don't even need to specify a default constructor. If MuleMessage is configured as a source type on this transformer by calling setAcceptUMOMessage(true) then the MuleMessage will be serialised. This is useful for transports such as TCP where the message headers would normally be lost.
