@Transform is first sought on the field itself, which overrides any other handling. Next it is sought on the class that represents the field (i.e. if the field is type Foo we look for an @Transform annotation on class Foo). We avoid doing this somewhat expensive search if the field has a type that we know cannot have an @Transform annotation. If we've still found no @Transform annotation (which is unfortunately the overwhelmingly common case), we then create a stock marshaller.
Depot Persistence Library ------------------------- Depot is a relational persistence library for Java. It is an ORM library, but has aims that are somewhat different from the popular "managed" persistence libraries like Hibernate and others. Website ------- See the Depot website for documentation and other info: http://code.google.com/p/depot/ Building -------- The library is built using Ant. It can be found here: http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/ To compile the code and generate a jar file, invoke: % ant dist Invoke 'ant -p' to see information on other build targets. Depot also provides .classpath and .project files for Eclipse users which require that you set an EXT_LIBS_DIR variable indicating the location of the external jar dependencies. The Depot Eclipse project also depends on the Eclipse project for the samskivert library. That library can be found at: http://code.google.com/p/samskivert/ License and Distribution ------------------------ Depot is released under the LGPL. This means you are free to use Depot on any project, open source or proprietary, but that any modifications made to the library must be made available to the maintainers. See COPYING for more detailed information. The most recent version of the Depot source code is available at the website listed above. $Id$
