Hello QxOrm experts,
first of all: The framework is great, thanks for having created such a powerful and well documented tool!
I have a question regarding serialization, and specifically XML serialization.
The setting is the following:
There exist a number of nodes that exchanges messages via the QxService interface.
Furthermore each node provides a REST-like HTTP-based interface that provides acccess to XML-serialized database entries.
Some questions that I could not answer myself are:
- Can the QxOrm / QxService serialization be customized in a way so that more "reduced" forms of XML are produced? The serialization through QxService contains a lot of meta information that should not be visible in the output by the REST server
- Many of the data object (models) that are to be exchanged between services are directly pulled from a database (using code produced by QxEntityEditor with schema from MySQL). Can this code be reused as data model definitions for the service communication?
- Can there be different forms of XML serialization per object, one for parceling over a service connection, another for serialization in REST requests?
I assume that obtaining some type of synergy should be possible, but I could not find an obvious way (most likely also because I am realtively new to QxOrm).
Every help is appreciated!
