set aBlob = anObject.classToXML()

Semantics

The operation takes any object (anObject) and tries to map it to an XML document. The document structure is given by the class definition of anObject. If this is not possible an error is raised (e.g. XML parser errors, invalid mappings, etc.).

Info
iconfalse

A conversion with operation classToXML() always returns an object of type Blob. To display this data as a String you need to transcode it first (see transcodeToString).

SubstitutablesanObjectTarget object can be any complex object. However, simple types and arrays are not supported, since they do not map naturally to a well formed XML document.

XML Serialization Example

Assume you have an object myAddress of type Address .

The following action script serializes this object.

Code Block
set xmlBlob = myAddress.classToXML();

The sample XML document below illustrates the mapping executed by classToXML(). The object myAddress of type Address is mapped to an XML document as depicted in the following XML document:

<myAddress id="myAddressID">
    <street>108, Kearny Avenue</street>
    <city>Newark</city>
</myAddress>

Note, that the XML element myAddress is of type Address . This type has the attribute id, which corresponds to the XML attribute id. Additionally, the XML elements street and city are mapped to the association ends city respectively street. Both are having the type String.
