The current thread's TypeMarshallingContext.

setTypeMarshaller

public static void setTypeMarshaller(TypeMarshaller marshaller)

Establishes a TypeMarshallingContext for the current thread. Users are not expected to call this function.

Parameters:

marshaller - The current TypeMarshaller.

getTypeMarshaller

public static TypeMarshaller getTypeMarshaller()

Returns:

The current thread's TypeMarshaller.

getClassLoader

public ClassLoader getClassLoader()

setKnownObjects

public void setKnownObjects(IdentityHashMap knownObjects)

Sets the list of the objects already encountered for this type marshalling session.

reset

public void reset()
