Exclude properties on serialization time.

[joen]

Hi,

Let's take for example a class:

@Root
public class Parent {
    @ElementList(required = false)
    Set<Child> children = new TreeSet<Child>();

    public void setChildren(Set<Child> children) {
        this.children=children;
    }

    public Set<Child> getChildren() {
        return children;
    }

}


Most of the time, I need the children to appear in the XML when I
serialize a instance of Parent object.  However, there are times when
I don't want the children in the xml.  Is there a way to exclude
certain properties on serialization time?

Hi,

You could use the @Replace annotation like so.

@Root
public class Parent {

    @ElementList(required = false)
    Set<Child> children = new TreeSet<Child>();
    boolean someCondition;

    private Parent(Set<Child> children) {
       this.children = children;
    }

    @Replace
    private Parent replaceParent() {
       if(someCondition) {
          return this;
       }
       return new Parent(null);
    }

    public void setChildren(Set<Child> children) {
        this.children=children;
    }

    public Set<Child> getChildren() {
        return children;
    }
}

That should do the trick.
