Enum Nulls

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<Nulls>

com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.Nulls

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Nulls>

public enum Nulls
extends Enum<Nulls>

Enumeration used with JsonSetter (for properties `nulls` and `contentNulls`) to define how explicit `null` values from input (if input format has the concept; JSON, for example does) are handled.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
AS_EMPTY Value that indicates that value to assign should come from the value deserializer of the type, using method getEmptyValue().
DEFAULT Pseudo-value used to indicate that defaults are to be used for handling, that is, this value specifies no explicit handling override.
FAIL Value that indicates that an exception (of type that indicates input mismatch problem) is to be thrown, to indicate that null values are not accepted.
SET Value that indicates that an input null should result in assignment of Java `null` value of matching property (except where deserializer indicates other "null value" by overriding getNullValue(...) method)
SKIP Value that indicates that an input null value should be skipped and no assignment is to be made; this usually means that the property will have its default value.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static Nulls	valueOf(String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static Nulls[]	values() Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

SET

public static final Nulls SET

Value that indicates that an input null should result in assignment of Java `null` value of matching property (except where deserializer indicates other "null value" by overriding getNullValue(...) method)

SKIP

public static final Nulls SKIP

Value that indicates that an input null value should be skipped and no assignment is to be made; this usually means that the property will have its default value.

FAIL

public static final Nulls FAIL

Value that indicates that an exception (of type that indicates input mismatch problem) is to be thrown, to indicate that null values are not accepted.

AS_EMPTY

public static final Nulls AS_EMPTY

Value that indicates that value to assign should come from the value deserializer of the type, using method getEmptyValue().

DEFAULT

public static final Nulls DEFAULT

Pseudo-value used to indicate that defaults are to be used for handling, that is, this value specifies no explicit handling override.

Method Detail

values

public static Nulls[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Nulls c : Nulls.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Nulls valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
