BeanPropertyWriter (jackson-databind 2.6.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.PropertyWriter
- - com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.BeanPropertyWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:

BeanProperty, Named

Direct Known Subclasses:

UnwrappingBeanPropertyWriter, VirtualBeanPropertyWriter
```
public class BeanPropertyWriter
extends PropertyWriter
implements BeanProperty
```
Base bean property handler class, which implements common parts of reflection-based functionality for accessing a property value and serializing it.
Note that current design tries to keep instances immutable (semi-functional style); mostly because these instances are exposed to application code and this is to reduce likelihood of data corruption and synchronization issues.

Field Summary

Fields
Modifier and Type	Field and Description
`protected Method`	`_accessorMethod` Accessor method used to get property value, for method-accessible properties.
`protected JavaType`	`_cfgSerializationType` Type to use for locating serializer; normally same as return type of the accessor method, but may be overridden by annotations.
`protected Annotations`	`_contextAnnotations` Annotations from context (most often, class that declares property, or in case of sub-class serializer, from that sub-class)
`protected JavaType`	`_declaredType` Type property is declared to have, either in class definition or associated annotations.
`protected PropertySerializerMap`	`_dynamicSerializers` In case serializer is not known statically (i.e.
`protected Field`	`_field` Field that contains the property value for field-accessible properties.
`protected com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonFormat.Value`	`_format` Lazily accessed value for per-property format override definition.
`protected Class<?>[]`	`_includeInViews` Alternate set of property writers used when view-based filtering is available for the Bean.
`protected HashMap<Object,Object>`	`_internalSettings`
`protected AnnotatedMember`	`_member` Member (field, method) that represents property and allows access to associated annotations.
`protected PropertyMetadata`	`_metadata` Additional information about property
`protected com.fasterxml.jackson.core.io.SerializedString`	`_name` Logical name of the property; will be used as the field name under which value for the property is written.
`protected JavaType`	`_nonTrivialBaseType` Base type of the property, if the declared type is "non-trivial"; meaning it is either a structured type (collection, map, array), or parameterized.
`protected JsonSerializer<Object>`	`_nullSerializer` Serializer used for writing out null values, if any: if null, null values are to be suppressed.
`protected JsonSerializer<Object>`	`_serializer` Serializer to use for writing out the value: null if it can not be known statically; non-null if it can.
`protected Object`	`_suppressableValue` Value that is considered default value of the property; used for default-value-suppression if enabled.
`protected boolean`	`_suppressNulls` Whether null values are to be suppressed (nothing written out if value is null) or not.
`protected TypeSerializer`	`_typeSerializer` If property being serialized needs type information to be included this is the type serializer to use.
`protected PropertyName`	`_wrapperName` Wrapper name to use for this element, if any
`static Object`	`MARKER_FOR_EMPTY` Marker object used to indicate "do not serialize if empty"
`protected static com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonFormat.Value`	`NO_FORMAT` Marker we use to indicate case where we have done format lookup, but found nothing; marker used to avoid having to repeat such lookups.

    Member (field, method) that represents property and allows access to associated annotations.
  - _contextAnnotations
```
protected final Annotations _contextAnnotations
```
    Annotations from context (most often, class that declares property, or in case of sub-class serializer, from that sub-class)
  - _declaredType
```
protected final JavaType _declaredType
```
    Type property is declared to have, either in class definition or associated annotations.
  - _accessorMethod

    Field that contains the property value for field-accessible properties. Null if and only if _accessorMethod is null.
  - _internalSettings
```
protected HashMap<Object,Object> _internalSettings
```
  - _name
```
protected final com.fasterxml.jackson.core.io.SerializedString _name
```
    Logical name of the property; will be used as the field name under which value for the property is written.
    NOTE: do NOT change name of this field; it is accessed by Afterburner module (until 2.4; not directly from 2.5) ALSO NOTE: ... and while it really ought to be `SerializableString`, changing that is also binary-incompatible change. So nope.
  - _wrapperName
```
protected final PropertyName _wrapperName
```
    Wrapper name to use for this element, if any
    
    Since:

```
    Type to use for locating serializer; normally same as return type of the accessor method, but may be overridden by annotations.
  - _nonTrivialBaseType
```
protected JavaType _nonTrivialBaseType
```
    Base type of the property, if the declared type is "non-trivial"; meaning it is either a structured type (collection, map, array), or parameterized. Used to retain type information about contained type, which is mostly necessary if type meta-data is to be included.

    Parameters:
    
    propertiesNode - Node which the given property would exist within
    
    provider - Provider that can be used for accessing dynamic aspects of serialization processing

public final Object get(Object bean)
                 throws Exception
```
    Method that can be used to access value of the property this Object describes, from given bean instance.
    Note: method is final as it should not need to be overridden -- rather, calling method(s) (serializeAsField(java.lang.Object, com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializerProvider)) should be overridden to change the behavior
    
    Throws:
    
    Exception
  - _handleSelfReference
```
protected boolean _handleSelfReference(Object bean,
                                       com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator gen,
                                       SerializerProvider prov,
                                       JsonSerializer<?> ser)
                                throws JsonMappingException
```
    Method called to handle a direct self-reference through this property. Method can choose to indicate an error by throwing JsonMappingException; fully handle serialization (and return true); or indicate that it should be serialized normally (return false).
    Default implementation will throw JsonMappingException if SerializationFeature.FAIL_ON_SELF_REFERENCES is enabled; or return false if it is disabled.
    
    Returns:
    
    True if method fully handled self-referential value; false if not (caller is to handle it) or JsonMappingException if there is no way handle it
    
    Throws:
    
    JsonMappingException
