public class XmlExporter
extends Object

Utility class for exporting data from the Groups Registry in XML format.

This class can export all-or-port of a Groups Registry as a stem/group hierarchy. Alternatively, collections of Stems, Groups, Subjects or Memberships may be exported.

Exported stem and group data may be imported, as is, or with modifications, into the same repository or into another repository. See XmlImporter.

The API for this class will change in future Grouper releases.
