Converts the lexical representation to a value object.

Throws:
  • AccessorException – if the transducer is used to parse an user bean that uses XmlValue, then this exception may occur when it tries to set the leaf value to the bean.
  • SAXException – if the lexical form is incorrect, the error should be reported and SAXException may thrown (or it can return null to recover.)

Transducers implicitly work against a single XML type, but sometimes (most notably XMLGregorianCalendar, an instance may choose different XML types.
Returns: return non-null from this method allows transducers to specify the type it wants to marshal to. Most of the time this method returns null, in which case the implicitly associated type will be used.
