Method Detail

createNodeMappingsByNodeDescriptorMap

public static <D extends XmlNodeDescriptor,M extends XmlNodeMapping<?>> Map<D,M> createNodeMappingsByNodeDescriptorMap(Collection<M> nodeMappings)

Creates a map of node mappings with node descriptors as keys. For each element mapping contained in the given collection of node mappings an additional simplified descriptor is created if an element name exists and is not ambiguous so that the element mapping has two keys.

Type Parameters:

D - the expected type of the node descriptor

M - the expected type of the node mappings

Parameters:

nodeMappings - the node mappings

Returns:

a map of node mappings with node descriptors as keys
