  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    RevisionHandler

    public class XMLSerializationMethodHandler
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements RevisionHandler
    This class handles relationships between display names of properties (or classes) and Methods that are associated with them. It differentiates between read and write methods. It automatically stores public methods that have the same signature as the readFromXML() and writeToXML() methods in the XMLSerialization class.
