Class StandardObjectConverter

    java.lang.Object
      net.sf.saxon.xqj.StandardObjectConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:
  ObjectConverter

    public class StandardObjectConverter

extends Object
implements ObjectConverter

This class provides all the conversion methods used to convert data between XDM values and Java values in the XQJ API. At one time the XQJ specification defined such a class, and it has been retained in the Saxon implementation.

This handler implements the mappings defined in the XQJ specification. In addition, it defines the following mappings, which are applied after those defined in XQJ:

For fromObject:

- If the supplied object is an instance of javax.xml.transform.Source, a document node is constructed from the source and the resulting node is returned as the Item
- If the supplied object is an instance of javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamReader, a document node is constructed from the XMLStreamReader and the resulting node is returned as the Item
- If the supplied object is

`Item` `convertToItem(Object value, XQItemType type)` Convert a Java object to an Item, when a required type has been specified.

Constructor Detail

### StandardObjectConverter

    public StandardObjectConverter(SaxonXQDataFactory factory)

  Parameters:
    `factory` - the factory object

Method Detail

### toObject

    public Object toObject(XQItemAccessor xqItemAccessor)
                    throws XQException

  Description copied from interface: `ObjectConverter`
  Convert an Item to a Java object

  Specified by:
    `toObject` in interface `ObjectConverter`
  Parameters:
    `xqItemAccessor` - the XQJ object representing the item to be converted
  Returns:
    the Java object that results from the conversion
  Throws:
    `XQException`

### convertToItem

    public Item convertToItem(Object value)
                       throws XQException

  Convert a Java object to a Saxon Item

  Specified by:
    `convertToItem` in interface `ObjectConverter`
  Parameters:
    `value` - the Java object
  Returns:
    the corresponding Item
  Throws:
    `XQException`

### convertToItem

    public Item convertToItem(Object value,
                              XQItemType type)
                       throws XQException

  Convert a Java object to an Item, when a required type has been specified. Note that Saxon only calls this method when none of the standard conversions defined in the XQJ specification is able to handle the object.

  Specified by:
    `convertToItem` in interface `ObjectConverter`
  Parameters:
    `value` - the supplied Java object
    `type` - the required XPath data type
  Returns:
    the Item that results from the conversion
  Throws:
    `XQException` - if the Java object cannot be converted to an XQItem
