public abstract class TypeModifier extends Object
JavaType
instances constructed using TypeFactory
.
Registered modifiers are called in order, to let them modify (or
replace) basic type instance factory constructs.
This is typically needed to support creation of
MapLikeType
and CollectionLikeType
instances,
as those cannot be constructed in generic fashion.Constructor and Description |

- Instance to modifyjdkType
- JDK type that was used to construct instance to modifycontext
- Type resolution context used for the typetypeFactory
- Type factory that can be used to construct parameter type; note,
however, that care must be taken to avoid infinite loops -- specifically, do not
construct instance of primary type itselftype
(as is or with
modifications), or a newly constructed type instance based on it. Cannot be null.Copyright © 2008–2021 FasterXML. All rights reserved.
