XStream serialize null values

Question

Suppose I have

class Student
{
String name;
int    age;
String teacher;
}

Then :

public class App1
{
    public static voi         


        

Answer 1

First of all provide the getter and setter methods in you Student class as follows:

public class Student{
   String name;
   int age;
   String teacher;
   public void setName(String name){
       this.name = name;
   }
   public String getName(){
      return name;
   }
.......
......//Like that mention other getter and setter method
}

Now, all you need to create your converter class as follows:

public class StudentConverter implements Converter{
    public boolean canConvert(Class clazz) {
         return clazz.equals(Test.class);
    }
    public void marshal(Object value, HierarchicalStreamWriter writer,
         MarshallingContext context) {
       Student student = (Student ) value;
       writer.startNode("name");
       writer.setValue(test.getName());
       writer.endNode();
       writer.startNode("age");
       writer.setValue(test.getAge());
       writer.endNode();
       writer.startNode("teacher");
       writer.setValue("");
       writer.endNode();
   }
    public Object unmarshal(HierarchicalStreamReader reader,
         UnmarshallingContext context) {
       Student student = new Student();
       test.setName(reader.getNodeName());
       test.setAge(reader.getNodeName());
       test.setTeacher(reader.getNodeName());
       return student;
    }
}

Your main class will the like that:

public class App1{
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        XStream stream = new XStream(new StaxDriver());
        Student st = new Student();
        st.setName("ABC");
        t.setAge(21);
        stream.registerConverter(new StudentConverter());
        stream.alias("student", Student.class);
        System.out.println(stream.toXML(st));
   }

}

Hope it's your answer....Happy Learning :)
