Class NoClass

java.lang.Object

org.codehaus.jackson.map.annotate.NoClass

public final class NoClass
extends Object

Marker class used with annotations to indicate "no class". This is a silly but necessary work-around -- annotations can not take nulls as either default or explicit values. Hence for class values we must explicitly use a bogus placeholder to denote equivalent of "no class" (for which 'null' is usually the natural choice).

Note before version 1.4, this marker class was under "org.codehaus.jackson.annotate". However, since it is only used by annotations in "org.codehaus.jackson.map.annotate" (and not externally exposed), it was moved to that package as of version 1.5.
