public abstract class AbstractAttivioReflectionConverter
extends AbstractPlatformMessageConverter

Simple serialization converter that uses reflection to automatically generate XML serialization/deserialization. For complex class hierarchies, this probably isn't the best class to extend, since it will be somewhat inefficient and verbose in the XML generation. But for simple conversion of simple POJOs, it is easy to just extend this abstract class and then only implement the "canConvert" method.

For example:

   public boolean canConvert(Class type) {
      return SqlSchemaRequest.class.equals(type);
   }
 

Note: if the class you are converting does not have a zero argument constructor, create a private one that reflection can use.
