public interface Serializer
extends Serializer

This interface describes the AXIS Serializer. An Axis compliant Serializer must provide one or more of the following methods: public (Class javaType, QName xmlType) public () This will allow for construction of generic factories that introspect the class to determine how to construct a deserializer. The xmlType, javaType arguments are filled in with the values known by the factory.
