abstract public  void addClass(Class clazz) throws ResolverException
Loads the class descriptor for the class instance specified. The use of this method is useful
when no mapping is used, as happens when the domain classes has been generated
using the XML code generator (in which case instead of a mapping file class
descriptor files will be generated).

 abstract public  void addClasses(Class[] clazzes) throws ResolverException
Loads the class descriptor for the class instance specified. The use of this method is useful
when no mapping is used, as happens when the domain classes hase been generated
using the XML code generator (in which case instead of a mapping file class
descriptor files will be generated).

 abstract public  void addMapping(Mapping mapping) throws MappingException
Instructs Castor to load class descriptors from the mapping given.

 abstract public  void addPackage(String packageName) throws ResolverException
Loads class descriptors from the package specified. The use of this method is useful
when no mapping is used, as happens when the domain classes hase been generated
using the XML code generator (in which case instead of a mapping file class
descriptor files will be generated).

Please note that this functionality will work only if you provide the .castor.cdr
file with your generated classes (as generated by the XML code generator).

 abstract public  void addPackages(String[] packageNames) throws ResolverException
Loads class descriptors from the packages specified. The use of this method is useful
when no mapping is used, as happens when the domain classes hase been generated
using the XML code generator (in which case instead of a mapping file class
descriptor files will be generated).

Please note that this functionality will work only if you provide the .castor.cdr
files with your generated classes (as generated by the XML code generator).

 abstract public Boolean getBooleanProperty(String propertyName)

 abstract public ClassLoader getClassLoader()
To get the ClassLoader to use for loading resources.

 abstract public Introspector getIntrospector()
To get the Introspector assigned to this XMLContext.

 abstract public OutputFormat getOutputFormat()
Returns the default OutputFormat for use with a Serializer.

 abstract public Parser getParser()
Return an XML document parser implementing the feature list
specified in the configuration file.

 abstract public Parser getParser(String features)
Returns an XML document parser implementing the requested
set of features. The feature list is a comma separated list
of features that parser may or may not support. No errors are
generated for unsupported features. If the feature list is not
null, it overrides the default feature list specified in the
configuration file, including validation and Namespaces.

 abstract public NodeType getPrimitiveNodeType()
Returns the NodeType to use for Java primitives.
A null value will be returned if no NodeType was specified,
indicating the default NodeType should be used.

Returns a new instance of the specified Regular Expression
Evaluator, or null if no validator was specified.

 abstract public ResolverStrategy getResolverStrategy()
To get the XMLClassDescriptor resolver strategy to be used when
resolving classes into class descriptors.

 abstract public Serializer getSerializer()
Returns a default serializer for producing an XML document. The caller
can specify an alternative output format, may reuse this serializer
across several streams, and may serialize both DOM and SAX events. If
such control is not required, it is recommended to call one of the other
two methods.

 abstract public DocumentHandler getSerializer(OutputStream output) throws IOException
Returns a default serializer for producing an XML document to
the designated output stream using the default serialization
format.

 abstract public DocumentHandler getSerializer(Writer output) throws IOException
Returns a default serializer for producing an XML document to the
designated output stream using the default serialization format.

 abstract public String getStringProperty(String propertyName)

 abstract public XMLReader getXMLReader()
Returns an XML document parser implementing the requested set of
features. The feature list is a comma separated list of features that
parser may or may not support. No errors are generated for unsupported
features. If the feature list is not null, it overrides the default
feature list specified in the configuration file, including validation
and Namespaces.

 abstract public XMLReader getXMLReader(String features)
Returns an XML document parser implementing the requested
set of features. The feature list is a comma separated list
of features that parser may or may not support. No errors are
