Class TypeResolver

java.lang.Object

com.fasterxml.jackson.jr.type.TypeResolver

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class TypeResolver
extends Object
implements Serializable

Object that is used for resolving generic type information of a class so that it is accessible using simple API. Resolved types are also starting point for accessing resolved (generics aware) return and argument types of class members (methods, fields, constructors).

Note that resolver instances are stateful in that resolvers cache resolved types for efficiency. Since this is internal state and not directly visible to callers, access to state is fully synchronized so that access from multiple threads is safe.

Method Detail

resolve

public ResolvedType resolve(TypeBindings typeBindings,
                   Type jdkType)

Factory method for resolving specified Java Type, given TypeBindings needed to resolve any type variables.

Use of this method is discouraged (use if and only if you really know what you are doing!); but if used, type bindings passed should come from ResolvedType instance of declaring class (or interface).

NOTE: order of arguments was reversed for 0.8, to avoid problems with overload varargs method.
