Method Detail

isHandled

public boolean isHandled(Annotation ann)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method called by framework to determine whether given annotation is handled by this introspector.

Specified by:

isHandled in class AnnotationIntrospector

findEnumValue

public String findEnumValue(Enum<?> value)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for determining the String value to use for serializing given enumeration entry; used when serializing enumerations as Strings (the standard method).

NOTE: implemented since 1.9.11, to make things work even when annotation introspection is disabled.

Overrides:

findEnumValue in class AnnotationIntrospector

Returns:

Serialized enum value.

findRootName

public String findRootName(AnnotatedClass ac)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for locating name used as "root name" (for use by some serializers when outputting root-level object -- mostly for XML compatibility purposes) for given class, if one is defined. Returns null if no declaration found; can return explicit empty String, which is usually ignored as well as null.

Specified by:

findRootName in class AnnotationIntrospector

findPropertiesToIgnore

public String[] findPropertiesToIgnore(AnnotatedClass ac)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for finding list of properties to ignore for given class (null is returned if not specified). List of property names is applied after other detection mechanisms, to filter out these specific properties from being serialized and deserialized.

Specified by:

findPropertiesToIgnore in class AnnotationIntrospector

findIgnoreUnknownProperties

public Boolean findIgnoreUnknownProperties(AnnotatedClass ac)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for checking whether an annotation indicates that all unknown properties

Specified by:

findIgnoreUnknownProperties in class AnnotationIntrospector

hasIgnoreMarker

public boolean hasIgnoreMarker(AnnotatedMember member)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method called to check whether given property is marked to be ignored; but NOT to determine if it should necessarily be ignored, since that may depend on other factors.

Default implementation calls existing 'isIgnored' methods such as AnnotationIntrospector.isIgnorableField(AnnotatedField) and AnnotationIntrospector.isIgnorableMethod(AnnotatedMethod).

Overrides:

hasIgnoreMarker in class AnnotationIntrospector

isIgnorableConstructor

public boolean isIgnorableConstructor(AnnotatedConstructor c)

Specified by:

isIgnorableConstructor in class AnnotationIntrospector

isIgnorableMethod

public boolean isIgnorableMethod(AnnotatedMethod m)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for checking whether there is an annotation that indicates that given method should be ignored for all operations (serialization, deserialization).

Note that this method should ONLY return true for such explicit ignoral cases; and not if method just happens not to be visible for annotation processor.

Specified by:

isIgnorableMethod in class AnnotationIntrospector

Returns:

True, if an annotation is found to indicate that the method should be ignored; false if not.

isIgnorableField

public boolean isIgnorableField(AnnotatedField f)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for checking whether there is an annotation that indicates that given field should be ignored for all operations (serialization, deserialization).

Specified by:

isIgnorableField in class AnnotationIntrospector

Returns:

True, if an annotation is found to indicate that the field should be ignored; false if not.

findSerializer

public Object findSerializer(Annotated am)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for getting a serializer definition on specified method or field. Type of definition is either instance (of type JsonSerializer) or Class (of type Class); if value of different type is returned, a runtime exception may be thrown by caller.

Note: this variant was briefly deprecated for 1.7; should not be

Specified by:

findSerializer in class AnnotationIntrospector

findSerializationType

public Class<?> findSerializationType(Annotated a)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for accessing annotated type definition that a method/field can have, to be used as the type for serialization instead of the runtime type. Type returned (if any) needs to be widening conversion (super-type). Declared return type of the method is also considered acceptable.

Specified by:

findSerializationType in class AnnotationIntrospector

Returns:

Class to use instead of runtime type

findSerializationTyping

public JsonSerialize.Typing findSerializationTyping(Annotated a)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for accessing declared typing mode annotated (if any). This is used for type detection, unless more granular settings (such as actual exact type; or serializer to use which means no type information is needed) take precedence.

Specified by:

findSerializationTyping in class AnnotationIntrospector

Returns:

Typing mode to use, if annotation is found; null otherwise

findSerializationViews

public Class<?>[] findSerializationViews(Annotated a)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for checking if annotated serializable property (represented by field or getter method) has definitions for views it is to be included in. If null is returned, no view definitions exist and property is always included; otherwise it will only be included for views included in returned array. View matches are checked using class inheritance rules (sub-classes inherit inclusions of super-classes)

Specified by:

findSerializationViews in class AnnotationIntrospector

Parameters:

a - Annotated serializable property (field or getter method)

Returns:

Array of views (represented by classes) that the property is included in; if null, always included (same as returning array containing Object.class)

findSerializationPropertyOrder

public String[] findSerializationPropertyOrder(AnnotatedClass ac)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for accessing defined property serialization order (which may be partial). May return null if no ordering is defined.

Specified by:

Specified by:

findSerializationSortAlphabetically in class AnnotationIntrospector

findGettablePropertyName

public String findGettablePropertyName(AnnotatedMethod am)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for checking whether given method has an annotation that suggests property name associated with method that may be a "getter". Should return null if no annotation is found; otherwise a non-null String. If non-null value is returned, it is used as the property name, except for empty String ("") which is taken to mean "use standard bean name detection if applicable; method name if not".

Specified by:

findGettablePropertyName in class AnnotationIntrospector

hasAsValueAnnotation

public boolean hasAsValueAnnotation(AnnotatedMethod am)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for checking whether given method has an annotation that suggests that the return value of annotated method should be used as "the value" of the object instance; usually serialized as a primitive value such as String or number.

Specified by:

hasAsValueAnnotation in class AnnotationIntrospector

Returns:

True if such annotation is found (and is not disabled); false if no enabled annotation is found

findDeserializablePropertyName

public String findDeserializablePropertyName(AnnotatedField af)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for checking whether given member field represent a deserializable logical property; and if so, returns the name of that property. Should return null if no annotation is found (indicating it is not a deserializable field); otherwise a non-null String. If non-null value is returned, it is used as the property name, except for empty String ("") which is taken to mean "use the field name as is".
