asXML - Mapping of Reference Variables and Objects
Anonymous data objects and instances of classes (objects) are addressed
in ABAP using references in reference variables only. The associated
asXML format consists of
subelements of values for
named reference variables and
(by default) subelements of heap
for the referenced objects.
The reference between the reference elements and the object elements is
made using an XML reference mechanism, where a referenced object
in the same XML data is identified by a key. The dynamic type of
the reference variables for the object elements under heap is
specified when serialization takes place, so that deserialization is
unambiguous.
Named Reference Variables
Anonymous Data Objects
Class Instances
Note
The asXML representation of reference variables and referenced
objects is only of relevance for XSL transformations and the
identity transformation ID .
Simple transformation s cannot currently be used to transform
reference variables.
For data references, the value "embedded" can be specified for
the transformation option
data_refs to define an embedded repository in serializations
instead of the repository in the element heap .
