Imports

tools.jackson.databind.*, tools.jackson.databind.cfg.MapperConfig

Helper class used to introspect features of POJO value classes used with Jackson. The main use is for finding out POJO construction (creator) and value access (getters, setters) methods and annotations that define configuration of using those methods.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
public abstract ClassIntrospector	forMapper() Method called to create an instance to be exclusive used by specified mapper.
public abstract ClassIntrospector	forOperation(MapperConfig<?> config) Method called to further create an instance to be used for a single operation (read or write, typically matching `ObjectMapper` `readValue()` or `writeValue()`).
public abstract AnnotatedClass	introspectClassAnnotations(JavaType type) Factory method that introspects a `AnnotatedClass` that only has information regarding annotations class itself (or its supertypes) has, but nothing on methods or constructors.
public abstract AnnotatedClass	introspectDirectClassAnnotations(JavaType type) Factory method that introspects a `AnnotatedClass` that only has information regarding annotations class itself has (but NOT including its supertypes), but nothing on methods or constructors.
public abstract BeanDescription	introspectForCreation(JavaType type, AnnotatedClass classDef) Factory method that introspects a `BeanDescription` that has information necessary for creating instances of given class ("creator"), as well as class annotations, but no information on member methods
public abstract BeanDescription	introspectForDeserialization(JavaType type, AnnotatedClass classDef) Factory method that introspects a `BeanDescription` that has all information needed for deserialization purposes.
public abstract BeanDescription	introspectForDeserializationWithBuilder(JavaType builderType, BeanDescription valueTypeDesc) Factory method that introspects a `BeanDescription` that has all information needed for constructing deserializers that use intermediate Builder objects.
public abstract BeanDescription	introspectForSerialization(JavaType type, AnnotatedClass classDef) Factory method that introspects a `BeanDescription` that has all information needed for serialization purposes.

Method Detail

forMapper

back to summary

public abstract ClassIntrospector forMapper()

Method called to create an instance to be exclusive used by specified mapper. Needed to ensure that no sharing through cache occurs.

Basic implementation just returns instance itself.

Since: 3.0
