Class XMLMarshaller

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.XMLMarshaller
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.lang.Cloneable

public class XMLMarshaller
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Cloneable

Class used to marshal object to XML.

Create an XMLMarshaller from an XMLContext.
Code Sample
XMLContext context = new XMLContext("mySessionName");
XMLMarshaller marshaller = context.createMarshaller();

Objects can be marshalled to the following outputs:

Objects that can be marshalled are those which are mapped in the TopLink project associated with the XMLContext, and which are mapped to an XMLDescriptor that has a default root element specified.
