* The Wrapper interface is one of the two ways a user can initialize a
48
* By default, when schema2beans generates the java classes, a #PCDATA DTD type
49
* is mapped to a java String. Sometime, the user might want to map an
50
* element to either a scalar or a specialized type (user defined class).
52
* For example, a price DTD element specified as #PCDATA could be mapped
53
* to a float or integer data type. Or a date DTD element also specified
54
* as #PCDATA could be mapped to a specialized Date object, that the user might
55
* provide. schema2beans calls these specialized object 'wrappers'.
57
* If the user specifies a wrapper object in the mdd file (see user
58
* documentation for mdd explanations), schema2beans uses the wrapper class
59
* instead of the String type. In this case, schema2beans needs to initialize
60
* the wrapper object using the String value from the XML document, and
61
* also needs to be able to get the String value from the wrapper
62
* object (in order to write back the XML document).
64
* This what this Wrapper interface provides. A wrapper class has
65
* has either to have a String constructor and toString() method,
66
* or implements the Wrapper interface. This is how schema2beans can set/get
67
* the String values of user wrapper/customized object.
