static CollectionType	construct(Class<?> rawType, JavaType elemT)
JavaType	narrowContentsBy(Class<?> contentClass)
String	toString()
JavaType	widenContentsBy(Class<?> contentClass)
CollectionType	withContentTypeHandler(Object h) "Copy method" that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that its content type will have specified type handler assigned.
CollectionType	withContentValueHandler(Object h) "Copy method" that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it will have specified content value handler assigned.
CollectionType	withStaticTyping() Method that can be called to get a type instance that indicates that values of the type should be handled using "static typing" for purposes of serialization (as opposed to "dynamic" aka runtime typing): meaning that no runtime information is needed for determining serializers to use.
CollectionType	withTypeHandler(Object h) "Copy method" that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it will have specified type handler assigned.
CollectionType	withValueHandler(Object h) "Copy method" that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it will have specified value handler assigned.

Method Detail

_narrow

protected JavaType _narrow(Class<?> subclass)

Overrides:

_narrow in class CollectionLikeType

narrowContentsBy

public JavaType narrowContentsBy(Class<?> contentClass)

Overrides:

narrowContentsBy in class CollectionLikeType

widenContentsBy

public JavaType widenContentsBy(Class<?> contentClass)

Overrides:

widenContentsBy in class CollectionLikeType

construct

public static CollectionType construct(Class<?> rawType,
                       JavaType elemT)

withTypeHandler

public CollectionType withTypeHandler(Object h)

Description copied from class: JavaType

"Copy method" that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it will have specified type handler assigned.

Overrides:

withTypeHandler in class CollectionLikeType

Returns:

Newly created type instance

withContentTypeHandler

public CollectionType withContentTypeHandler(Object h)

Description copied from class: JavaType

"Copy method" that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that its content type will have specified type handler assigned.

Overrides:

withContentTypeHandler in class CollectionLikeType

Returns:

Newly created type instance

withValueHandler

public CollectionType withValueHandler(Object h)

Description copied from class: JavaType

"Copy method" that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it will have specified value handler assigned.

Overrides:

withValueHandler in class CollectionLikeType

Returns:

Newly created type instance

withContentValueHandler

public CollectionType withContentValueHandler(Object h)

Description copied from class: JavaType

"Copy method" that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it will have specified content value handler assigned.

Overrides:

withContentValueHandler in class CollectionLikeType

Returns:

Newly created type instance

withStaticTyping

public CollectionType withStaticTyping()

Description copied from class: JavaType

Method that can be called to get a type instance that indicates that values of the type should be handled using "static typing" for purposes of serialization (as opposed to "dynamic" aka runtime typing): meaning that no runtime information is needed for determining serializers to use. The main use case is to allow forcing of specific root value serialization type, and specifically in resolving serializers for contained types (element types for arrays, Collections and Maps).

Overrides:

withStaticTyping in class CollectionLikeType

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class CollectionLikeType
