                 throws SerializationException

Unmarshalls a component or extension from the provided DOM element.

Parameters:

factory - The factory requesting the unmarhalling.

parentComponent - The parent component to which the returned component or extension will be added.

extensionElement - The DOM element for this component extension provided by the marshal method.

Returns:

Throws:

SerializationException - If the DOM element cannot be marshalled into components and/or extensions.

marshal

Element marshal(Factory factory,
                Component parentComponent,
                QName type,

                Document document)
                throws SerializationException

Marshals a component or extension into a DOM tree.

Parameters:
