Method Detail

internalResolve

protected java.util.Map internalResolve(java.lang.String className,
                                        java.lang.ClassLoader classLoader,
                                        java.util.Map properties)
                                 throws ResolverException

Creates an XMLClassDescriptor for the given type by using introspection. This method will rely on the Introspector set with setIntrospector. If a descriptor is successfully created it will be added to the DescriptorCache.
NOTE: If this XMLClassDescriptorResolver is NOT configured to use introspection this method will NOT create an descriptor.

The required parameter checks are in the public method and here we expect that the resolve logic itself is implemented.

Specified by:

internalResolve in class AbstractResolverClassCommand

Parameters:

className - the name of the class to resolve

classLoader - the class loader to use

properties - the resolve properties to use

Returns:

a Map of className and XMLClassDescriptor

Throws:

ResolverException - if unrecoverable problems in resolve occured
