Class ArrayType

java.lang.Object
  org.codehaus.jackson.type.JavaType
      org.codehaus.jackson.map.type.ArrayType

public final class ArrayType
extends JavaType

Array types represent Java arrays, both primitive and object valued. Further, Object-valued arrays can have element type of any other legal JavaType.

_class, _hashCode

Method Summary

protected JavaType	_narrow(java.lang.Class<?> subclass) Handling of narrowing conversions for arrays is trickier: for now, it is not even allowed.
protected static void	addCommonTypes(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,JavaType> types) Method that can be called to add known simple types into given class-to-type map.
static ArrayType	construct(JavaType componentType)
boolean	equals(java.lang.Object o)
JavaType	getComponentType()
boolean	isContainerType()
boolean	isFullyTyped() Simple types are always fully typed: this requires that no instances are ever created for Collection/Map types.
JavaType	narrowContentsBy(java.lang.Class<?> contentClass) For array types, both main type and content type can be modified; but ultimately they are interchangeable.
java.lang.String	toString()

Method Detail

construct

public static ArrayType construct(JavaType componentType)

addCommonTypes

protected static void addCommonTypes(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,JavaType> types)

Method that can be called to add known simple types into given class-to-type map.

_narrow

protected JavaType _narrow(java.lang.Class<?> subclass)

Handling of narrowing conversions for arrays is trickier: for now, it is not even allowed.

Specified by:

_narrow in class JavaType

narrowContentsBy

public JavaType narrowContentsBy(java.lang.Class<?> contentClass)

For array types, both main type and content type can be modified; but ultimately they are interchangeable.

Specified by:

narrowContentsBy in class JavaType

isFullyTyped

public boolean isFullyTyped()

Simple types are always fully typed: this requires that no instances are ever created for Collection/Map types.

Specified by:

isFullyTyped in class JavaType

isContainerType

public boolean isContainerType()

Specified by:

isContainerType in class JavaType

Returns:

True if type represented is a container type; this includes array, Map and Collection types.

getComponentType

public JavaType getComponentType()

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Specified by:

toString in class JavaType

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Specified by:

equals in class JavaType
