org.mule.transformer.simple
Class SerializableToByteArray

java.lang.Object
  org.mule.transformer.AbstractTransformer
      org.mule.transformer.simple.SerializableToByteArray

All Implemented Interfaces:

AnnotatedObject, MuleContextAware, Disposable, Initialisable, NameableObject, NamedObject, MessageProcessor, Converter, DiscoverableTransformer, Transformer, EndpointAware

Direct Known Subclasses:

ObjectToByteArray, ObjectToInputStream

public class SerializableToByteArray
extends AbstractTransformer
implements DiscoverableTransformer

SerializableToByteArray converts a serializable object or a String to a byte array. If MuleMessage is configured as a source type on this transformer by calling setAcceptMuleMessage(true) then the MuleMessage will be serialised. This is useful for transports such as TCP where the message headers would normally be lost.

getPriorityWeighting

public int getPriorityWeighting()

Description copied from interface: Converter

If two or more discoverable transformers are equal, this value can be used to select the correct one

Specified by:

getPriorityWeighting in interface Converter

Returns:

the priority weighting for this transformer. This is a value between Converter.MIN_PRIORITY_WEIGHTING and Converter.MAX_PRIORITY_WEIGHTING.

setPriorityWeighting

public void setPriorityWeighting(int priorityWeighting)

Description copied from interface: Converter

If 2 or more discoverable transformers are equal, this value can be used to select the correct one

Specified by:

setPriorityWeighting in interface Converter

Parameters:

priorityWeighting - the priority weighting for this transformer. This is a value between Converter.MIN_PRIORITY_WEIGHTING and Converter.MAX_PRIORITY_WEIGHTING.
