Class AbstractDeserializer

java.lang.Object

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonDeserializer<Object>

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.AbstractDeserializer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class AbstractDeserializer
extends JsonDeserializer<Object>
implements Serializable

Deserializer only used for abstract types used as placeholders during polymorphic type handling deserialization. If so, there is no real deserializer associated with nominal type, just TypeDeserializer; and any calls that do not pass such resolver will result in an error.

constructForNonPOJO

public static AbstractDeserializer constructForNonPOJO(BeanDescription beanDesc)

Factory method used when constructing instances for non-POJO types, like Maps.

Since:

2.3

handledType

public Class<?> handledType()

Description copied from class: JsonDeserializer

Method for accessing type of values this deserializer produces. Note that this information is not guaranteed to be exact -- it may be a more generic (super-type) -- but it should not be incorrect (return a non-related type).

Default implementation will return null, which means almost same same as returning Object.class would; that is, that nothing is known about handled type.

Overrides:

handledType in class JsonDeserializer<Object>

isCachable

public boolean isCachable()

Description copied from class: JsonDeserializer

Method called to see if deserializer instance is cachable and usable for other properties of same type (type for which instance was created).

Note that cached instances are still resolved on per-property basis, if instance implements ResolvableDeserializer: cached instance is just as the base. This means that in most cases it is safe to cache instances; however, it only makes sense to cache instances if instantiation is expensive, or if instances are heavy-weight.

Default implementation returns false, to indicate that no caching is done.

Overrides:

isCachable in class JsonDeserializer<Object>

getObjectIdReader

public ObjectIdReader getObjectIdReader()

Overridden to return true for those instances that are handling value for which Object Identity handling is enabled (either via value type or referring property).

Overrides:

getObjectIdReader in class JsonDeserializer<Object>

Returns:

ObjectIdReader used for resolving possible Object Identifier value, instead of full value serialization, if deserializer can do that; null if no Object Id is expected.

findBackReference

public SettableBeanProperty findBackReference(String logicalName)

Method called by BeanDeserializer to resolve back reference part of managed references.

Overrides:

findBackReference in class JsonDeserializer<Object>

deserializeWithType

public Object deserializeWithType(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser jp,
                                  DeserializationContext ctxt,
                                  TypeDeserializer typeDeserializer)
                           throws IOException,
                                  com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonProcessingException

Description copied from class: JsonDeserializer

Deserialization called when type being deserialized is defined to contain additional type identifier, to allow for correctly instantiating correct subtype. This can be due to annotation on type (or its supertype), or due to global settings without annotations.

Default implementation may work for some types, but ideally subclasses should not rely on current default implementation. Implementation is mostly provided to avoid compilation errors with older code.

Overrides:

deserializeWithType in class JsonDeserializer<Object>

typeDeserializer - Deserializer to use for handling type information

Throws:

IOException

deserialize

public Object deserialize(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser jp,
                          DeserializationContext ctxt)
                   throws IOException,
                          com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonProcessingException

Description copied from class: JsonDeserializer

Method that can be called to ask implementation to deserialize JSON content into the value type this serializer handles. Returned instance is to be constructed by method itself.

Pre-condition for this method is that the parser points to the first event that is part of value to deserializer (and which is never JSON 'null' literal, more on this below): for simple types it may be the only value; and for structured types the Object start marker or a FIELD_NAME.

The two possible input conditions for structured types result from polymorphism via fields. In the ordinary case, Jackson calls this method when it has encountered an OBJECT_START, and the method implementation must advance to the next token to see the first field name. If the application configures polymorphism via a field, then the object looks like the following.

      {
          "@class": "class name",
          ...
      }
  

Jackson consumes the two tokens (the @class field name and its value) in order to learn the class and select the deserializer. Thus, the stream is pointing to the FIELD_NAME for the first field after the @class. Thus, if you want your method to work correctly both with and without polymorphism, you must begin your method with:

       if (jp.getCurrentToken() == JsonToken.START_OBJECT) {
         jp.nextToken();
       }
  

This results in the stream pointing to the field name, so that the two conditions align.

Post-condition is that the parser will point to the last event that is part of deserialized value (or in case deserialization fails, event that was not recognized or usable, which may be the same event as the one it pointed to upon call).

Note that this method is never called for JSON null literal, and thus deserializers need (and should) not check for it.
