public java.lang.String getAsAttribute(java.lang.Object value,
                                       PropertyType type,
                                       XmlRenderContext context)

Returns the string representation of the specified object as an attribute. Default implementation throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

Specified by:

getAsAttribute in interface XmlPropertyRenderer

render

public abstract void render(java.lang.Object value,
                            PropertyType type,
                            boolean forceWrap,
                            XmlRenderContext context)

Renders the specified value to the session defined by the render context.

Specified by:

render in interface XmlPropertyRenderer

Parameters:

value - The value to be rendered.

type - The specific type that was used to lookup this renderer.

forceWrap - Set to true if the renderer should wrap the value in its own style of start/end tags. False indicates that the renderer can optionally leave them out. This is usually used by renderers that support types that can be defined as strings directly.

context - Contains the rendering output information for this session.
