A SerializerFactory returns
Serializers that can convert from a specific Java
type to a corresponding XML type. A
SerializerFactory for a given (Java type, XML
type) pairing is registered with, and can be obtained from, a
TypeMapping object. Once you have a
SerializerFactory, you can obtain a
Serializer instance by calling its
getSerializerAs( ) method, which requires an
argument that specifies a serialization mechanism type. The mechanism
type describes the style of the underlying XML processing model with
which the serializer works�for example, a DOM model or a
character stream containing the generated XML. A factory might be
able to supply serializers for more than one mechanism type. The
JAX-RPC specification does not define standard mechanism types, but
the reference implementation supports a single, private type
identified by the URI
http://java.sun.com/jax-rpc-ri/1.0/streaming/. The
URIs for the mechanism types for which the factory can return a
suitable Serializer can be obtained by calling the
getSupportedMechanismTypes( ) method.
