Method Detail

_narrow

protected JavaType _narrow(Class<?> subclass)

Specified by:

_narrow in class JavaType

narrowContentsBy

public JavaType narrowContentsBy(Class<?> contentClass)

Specified by:

narrowContentsBy in class JavaType

untyped

public static CollectionType untyped(Class<?> rawType,
                                     JavaType elemT)

Method called to construct a partially typed instance. Partial means that we can not determine component types, due to type erasure. Resulting type may or may not be acceptable to caller.

typed

public static CollectionType typed(Class<?> rawType,
                                   JavaType elemT)

isFullyTyped

public boolean isFullyTyped()

Description copied from class: JavaType

Method that can be used to check whether type described is fully typed, regarding the way JavaTypes are used for deserialization. For this to be true, all Collection and Map types must have proper element/value/key type information, and can not be plain classes.

Specified by:

isFullyTyped in class JavaType

getElementType

public JavaType getElementType()

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.

toString

public String toString()

Specified by:

toString in class JavaType

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Specified by:

equals in class JavaType
