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

findCachability

public Boolean findCachability(AnnotatedClass ac)

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.

Specified by:

findCachability in class AnnotationIntrospector

Returns:

True, if class is considered cachable within context; False if not, and null if introspector does not care either way.

findFieldAutoDetection

public Boolean findFieldAutoDetection(AnnotatedClass ac)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for checking whether there is a class annotation that indicates whether field auto detection should be enabled.

Specified by:

findFieldAutoDetection in class AnnotationIntrospector

Returns:

null if no relevant annotation is located; Boolean.TRUE if enabling annotation found, Boolean.FALSE if disabling annotation

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).

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

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

findSerializer

public Class<? extends JsonSerializer<?>> findSerializer(Annotated a)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Specified by:

findSerializer in class AnnotationIntrospector

findSerializationType

public Class<?> findSerializationType(Annotated am)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for accessing annotated type definition that a method 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

public JsonSerialize.Inclusion findSerializationInclusion(Annotated a,
                                                          JsonSerialize.Inclusion defValue)

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for checking whether given annotated entity (class, method, field) defines which Bean/Map properties are to be included in serialization. If no annotation is found, method should return given second argument; otherwise value indicated by the annotation

Returns:

Enumerated value indicating which properties to include in serialization

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

Method for checking whether there is a class annotation that indicates whether getter-method auto detection should be enabled.

null if no relevant annotation is located; Boolean.TRUE if enabling annotation found, Boolean.FALSE if disabling annotation

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
