Class Overview

Converts a Subject instance. Note, that this Converter does only convert the contained Principals as it is done by JDK serialization, but not any credentials. For other behaviour you can derive your own converter, overload the appropriate methods and register it in the XStream.

Public Methods

public boolean canConvert (Class type)

Determines whether the converter can marshall a particular type.

Parameters

public void marshal (Object source, HierarchicalStreamWriter writer, MarshallingContext context)

Convert an object to textual data.

Parameters
source The object to be marshalled.
writer A stream to write to.

Parameters
reader The stream to read the text from.
Returns
  • The resulting object.
