Class SerializerFinder

java.lang.Object

net.sf.serfj.finders.ResourceFinder

net.sf.serfj.finders.SerializerFinder

public class SerializerFinder
extends ResourceFinder

Finds a serializer for a request. It finds a class with the the name ExtensionResourceNameSerializer in the directory expected depending on the package style used. Extension could be .xml, .json, .anything, so the finder will look for JsonResourceNameSerializer, AnythingResourceNameSerializer, etc...

There are some default serializers:
- net.sf.serfj.serializers.JsonSerializer
- net.sf.serfj.serializers.XmlSerializer
- net.sf.serfj.serializers.PageSerializer

that will be used if there aren't any serializers found for a resource.
