                         throws MxConnSchemaException

Converts an Entry object into XML content.

Parameters:

rootMbo - root MBO definition

selectedMbo - schema element that defines the XML content

entry - entry to be converted

errorOnExcedentSize - indicates the behavior when a field's value exceeds the maximun length: true if an exception should be thrown, or false if the field's value should be truncated

Returns:

XML content as a String object

Throws:

MxConnSchemaException - if the specified entry does not comply to the schema definition

entryToXml

public static String entryToXml(Schema schema,
                                Entry entry,

This method converts a hierarchical Entry object into a valid XML representation.

Parameters:

schema - schema of the current object structure

entry -

errorOnExcedentSize - indicates the behavior when a field's value exceeds the maximun length: true if an exception should be thrown, or false if the field's value should be truncated

checkUniqueKeys - if true presence of unique keys will be checked

Returns:

XML representation of Entry object

Throws:

MxConnSchemaException - if a unique key is not provided

MxConnExcedentSizeException - if a string field contains value longer than the maximum allowed value for this field
