EIS Composite Direct Collection Mapping

An EIS composite direct collection mapping maps a collection of Java attributes directly to an EIS record according to its descriptor's record type, as shown in Table 53-3.

Table 53-3 EIS Composite Direct Collection Mapping by EIS Record Type

EIS Record Type	Mapping Behavior
Indexed	Maps directly to a subrecord in the indexed record^Foot 1.
Mapped	Maps directly to a subrecord in the mapped record^Footref 1.
XML	Maps directly to an attribute or text node in the XML record^Foot 2.

^Footnote 1See also "Composite EIS Mappings".

^Footnote 2See also "XML Composite Direct Collection Mapping".

Figure 53-5 illustrates a composite direct collection mapping between Order class attribute items and an XML record. The Order attribute items is a collection type (such as Vector). It is mapped to an XML record composed of an order element that contains a sequence of item elements.
