Direct Known Subclasses:

BasicClassIntrospector

public abstract class ClassIntrospector<T extends BeanDescription>
extends Object

Helper class used to introspect features of POJO value classes used with Jackson. The main use is for finding out POJO construction (creator) and value access (getters, setters) methods and annotations that define configuration of using those methods.

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
T	forClassAnnotations(MapperConfig<?> cfg, Class<?> cls, ClassIntrospector.MixInResolver r) Deprecated. since 1.9, use variant that takes JavaType
abstract T	forClassAnnotations(MapperConfig<?> cfg, JavaType type, ClassIntrospector.MixInResolver r) Factory method that constructs an introspector that only has information regarding annotations class itself (or its supertypes) has, but nothing on methods or constructors.
abstract T	forCreation(DeserializationConfig cfg, JavaType type, ClassIntrospector.MixInResolver r) Factory method that constructs an introspector that has information necessary for creating instances of given class ("creator"), as well as class annotations, but no information on member methods
abstract T	forDeserialization(DeserializationConfig cfg, JavaType type, ClassIntrospector.MixInResolver r) Factory method that constructs an introspector that has all information needed for deserialization purposes.
T	forDirectClassAnnotations(MapperConfig<?> cfg, Class<?> cls, ClassIntrospector.MixInResolver r) Deprecated. since 1.9, use variant that takes JavaType
abstract T	forDirectClassAnnotations(MapperConfig<?> cfg, JavaType type, ClassIntrospector.MixInResolver r) Factory method that constructs an introspector that only has information regarding annotations class itself has (but NOT including its supertypes), but nothing on methods or constructors.
abstract T	forSerialization(SerializationConfig cfg, JavaType type, ClassIntrospector.MixInResolver r) Factory method that constructs an introspector that has all information needed for serialization purposes.
