All Implemented Interfaces:

MapFromXML.Aware, Unmarshaller

public class XsiTypeUnmarshaller

extends JavaBeanUnmarshaller

Maps an element to a Java class, using the element's xsi:type attribute (as though it were an element name) to compute the class name. xsi:type is often used to represent polymorphism in XML; that is, a situation in which the XML type of an element is not strictly a function of its element name. This unmarshaller attempts to map such an element to Java polymorphism. It relies on the MapFromXML (which usually delegates to a Namer) to map the xsi:type name to a Java class name.
