Class QuickAndDirtyDOMFactory

java.lang.Object
  org.jhotdraw.xml.QuickAndDirtyDOMFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

DOMFactory

public class QuickAndDirtyDOMFactory
extends java.lang.Object
implements DOMFactory

QuickAndDirtyDOMFactory can be used to serialize DOMStorable objects in a DOM with the unmapped use of Java class names as DOM element names.

For example, if a DOMStorable object has the class name com.example.MyClass, then the DOM element has the same name, that is: <com.example.MyClass>.

Since no mapping between DOM element names and Java class names is performed, DOM's generated with QuickAndDirtyDOMFactory are not suited for long-term storage of objects. A DOM element can not be read back into DOMStorable object, if the class name of a DOMStorable object has changed.
