All Implemented Interfaces:

Versioned
```
public class JaxbAnnotationIntrospector
extends AnnotationIntrospector
implements Versioned
```
Annotation introspector that leverages JAXB annotations where applicable to JSON mapping.
The following JAXB annotations are not supported yet (but some may be supported in future)
- XmlAnyAttribute not yet used (as of 1.5) but may be in future (as an alias for @JsonAnySetter?)
- XmlAnyElement not yet used, may be as per [JACKSON-253]
- XmlAttachmentRef: JSON does not support external attachments
- XmlElementDecl
- XmlElementRefs because Jackson doesn't have any support for 'named' collection items -- however, this may become partially supported as per [JACKSON-253].
- XmlID because Jackson doesn't support referential integrity. NOTE: this too may be supported in future if/when id references are handled
- XmlIDREF same as XmlID
- XmlInlineBinaryData since the underlying concepts (like XOP) do not exist in JSON -- Jackson will always use inline base64 encoding as the method
- XmlList because JSON does have (or necessarily need) method of serializing list of values as space-separated Strings
- XmlMimeType
- XmlMixed since JSON has no concept of mixed content
- XmlRegistry
- XmlRootElement is recognized and used (as of 1.7) for defining root wrapper name (if used)
- XmlSchema not used, unlikely to be used
- XmlSchemaType not used, unlikely to be used
- XmlSchemaTypes not used, unlikely to be used
- XmlSeeAlso not needed for anything currently (could theoretically be useful for locating subtypes for Polymorphic Type Handling)
Note also the following limitations:
- Any property annotated with XmlValue will have a property named 'value' on its JSON object.

```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method that checks whether specified class has annotations that indicate that it is (or is not) cachable. Exact semantics depend on type of class annotated and using class (factory or provider).
    Currently only used with deserializers, to determine whether provider should cache instances, and if no annotations are found, assumes non-cachable instances.
    
    Overrides:

```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for locating annotation-specified subtypes related to annotated entity (class, method, field). Note that this is only guaranteed to be a list of directly declared subtypes, no recursive processing is guarantees (i.e. caller has to do it if/as necessary)

```
    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.

```
    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.

```
    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
  - findSerializationInclusion

```
    Implementation of this method is slightly tricky, given that JAXB defaults differ from Jackson defaults. As of version 1.5 and above, this is resolved by honoring Jackson defaults (which are configurable), and only using JAXB explicit annotations.

    Specified by:
    
    findSerializationTyping in class AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Returns:
    Typing mode to use, if annotation is found; null otherwise
  - findSerializationViews

```
    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)

  - 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

```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for checking whether given member field represent a serializable logical property; and if so, returns the name of that property. Should return null if no annotation is found (indicating it is not a serializable 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".
    
    Specified by:

  - findDeserializer
```
public JsonDeserializer<?> findDeserializer(Annotated am)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for getting a deserializer definition on specified method or field. Type of definition is either instance (of type JsonDeserializer) 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; but it turns out we really should not try to push BeanProperty through at this point

    findContentDeserializer in class AnnotationIntrospector
  - findDeserializationType
```
public Class<?> findDeserializationType(Annotated a,
                               JavaType baseType,
                               String propName)
```
    JAXB does allow specifying (more) concrete class for deserialization by using \@XmlElement annotation.
    
    Specified by:
    
    findDeserializationType in class AnnotationIntrospector
    
    baseType - Assumed type before considering annotations
    propName - Logical property name of the property that uses type, if known; null for types not associated with property
    
    Returns:
    Class to use for deserialization instead of declared type
  - findDeserializationKeyType

```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for accessing additional narrowing type definition that a method can have, to define more specific key type to use. It should be only be used with Map types.
    
    Specified by:
    
    findDeserializationKeyType in class AnnotationIntrospector
    
    baseKeyType - Assumed key type before considering annotations
    propName - Logical property name of the property that uses type, if known; null for types not associated with property
    
    Returns:
    Class specifying more specific type to use instead of declared type, if annotation found; null if not
  - findDeserializationContentType
```
public Class<?> findDeserializationContentType(Annotated a,
                                      JavaType baseContentType,
                                      String propName)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for accessing additional narrowing type definition that a method can have, to define more specific content type to use; content refers to Map values and Collection/array elements. It should be only be used with Map, Collection and array types.
    
    Specified by:
    
    findDeserializationContentType in class AnnotationIntrospector
    
    baseContentType - Assumed content (value) type before considering annotations
    propName - Logical property name of the property that uses type, if known; null for types not associated with property
    
    Returns:
    Class specifying more specific type to use instead of declared type, if annotation found; null if not

```
  - findSettablePropertyName
```
public String findSettablePropertyName(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 "setter". 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:
    
    findSettablePropertyName in class AnnotationIntrospector
  - hasAnySetterAnnotation
```
public boolean hasAnySetterAnnotation(AnnotatedMethod am)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for checking whether given method has an annotation that suggests that the method is to serve as "any setter"; method to be used for setting values of any properties for which no dedicated setter method is found.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hasAnySetterAnnotation in class AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Returns:
    True if such annotation is found (and is not disabled), false otherwise
  - hasCreatorAnnotation
```
public boolean hasCreatorAnnotation(Annotated am)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for checking whether given annotated item (method, constructor) has an annotation that suggests that the method is a "creator" (aka factory) method to be used for construct new instances of deserialized values.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hasCreatorAnnotation in class AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Returns:
    True if such annotation is found (and is not disabled), false otherwise
  - 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".
    
    Specified by:
    
    findDeserializablePropertyName in class AnnotationIntrospector
  - findPropertyNameForParam
```
public String findPropertyNameForParam(AnnotatedParameter param)
```
    Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
    
    Method for checking whether given set of annotations indicates property name for associated parameter. No actual parameter object can be passed since JDK offers no representation; just annotations.
    
    Specified by:
    
    findPropertyNameForParam in class AnnotationIntrospector
  - findAnnotation
```
protected <A extends Annotation> A findAnnotation(Class<A> annotationClass,
                                      Annotated annotated,
                                      boolean includePackage,
                                      boolean includeClass,
                                      boolean includeSuperclasses)
```
    Finds an annotation associated with given annotatable thing; or if not found, a default annotation it may have (from super class, package and so on)
    
    Parameters:
    annotationClass - the annotation class.
    annotated - The annotated element.
    includePackage - Whether the annotation can be found on the package of the annotated element.
    includeClass - Whether the annotation can be found on the class of the annotated element.
    includeSuperclasses - Whether the annotation can be found on any superclasses of the class of the annotated element.
    
    Returns:
    The annotation, or null if not found.
