Method Detail

writeMAGEML

public void writeMAGEML(java.io.Writer out)
                 throws java.io.IOException

writeMAGEML This method is responsible for assembling the attribute and association data into XML. It creates the object tag and then calls the writeAttributes and writeAssociation methods.

Overrides:

writeMAGEML in class Extendable

java.io.IOException

writeAttributes

public void writeAttributes(java.io.Writer out)
                     throws java.io.IOException

writeAttributes This method is responsible for assembling the attribute data into XML. It calls the super method to write out all attributes of this class and it's ancestors.

Overrides:

writeAttributes in class Extendable

java.io.IOException

writeAssociations

public void writeAssociations(java.io.Writer out)
                       throws java.io.IOException

writeAssociations This method is responsible for assembling the association data into XML. It calls the super method to write out all associations of this class's ancestors.

Overrides:

writeAssociations in class Extendable

java.io.IOException
