Class DatabindContext

java.lang.Object

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DatabindContext

Direct Known Subclasses:

DeserializationContext, SerializerProvider

public abstract class DatabindContext
extends java.lang.Object

Shared base class for DeserializationContext and SerializerProvider, context objects passed through data-binding process. Designed so that some of implementations can rely on shared aspects like access to secondary contextual objects like type factories or handler instantiators.

Since:

2.2

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
abstract boolean	canOverrideAccessModifiers() Convenience method for accessing serialization view in use (if any); equivalent to:
JavaType	constructSpecializedType(JavaType baseType, java.lang.Class<?> subclass) Convenience method for constructing subtypes, retaining generic type parameter (if any)
JavaType	constructType(java.lang.reflect.Type type) Convenience method for constructing JavaType for given JDK type (usually Class)
Converter<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object>	converterInstance(Annotated annotated, java.lang.Object converterDef) Helper method to use to construct a Converter, given a definition that may be either actual converter instance, or Class for instantiating one.
abstract java.lang.Class<?>	getActiveView() Accessor for locating currently active view, if any; returns null if no view has been set.
abstract AnnotationIntrospector	getAnnotationIntrospector() Convenience method for accessing serialization view in use (if any); equivalent to:
abstract java.lang.Object	getAttribute(java.lang.Object key) Method for accessing attributes available in this context.
abstract MapperConfig<?>	getConfig() Accessor to currently active configuration (both per-request configs and per-mapper config).
abstract JsonFormat.Value	getDefaultPropertyFormat(java.lang.Class<?> baseType)
abstract java.util.Locale	getLocale()
abstract java.util.TimeZone	getTimeZone()
abstract TypeFactory	getTypeFactory()
abstract boolean	isEnabled(MapperFeature feature) Convenience method for checking whether specified serialization feature is enabled or not.
ObjectIdGenerator<?>	objectIdGeneratorInstance(Annotated annotated, ObjectIdInfo objectIdInfo)
ObjectIdResolver	objectIdResolverInstance(Annotated annotated, ObjectIdInfo objectIdInfo)
<T> T	reportBadDefinition(java.lang.Class<?> type, java.lang.String msg)
abstract <T> T	reportBadDefinition(JavaType type, java.lang.String msg) Helper method called to indicate a generic problem that stems from type definition(s), not input data, or input/output state; typically this means throwing a InvalidDefinitionException.
JavaType	resolveAndValidateSubType(JavaType baseType, java.lang.String subClass, PolymorphicTypeValidator ptv) Lookup method similar to resolveSubType(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JavaType, java.lang.String) but one that also validates that resulting subtype is valid according to given PolymorphicTypeValidator.
JavaType	resolveSubType(JavaType baseType, java.lang.String subClassName) Lookup method called when code needs to resolve class name from input; usually simple lookup.
abstract DatabindContext	setAttribute(java.lang.Object key, java.lang.Object value) Method for setting per-call value of given attribute.

public DatabindContext()

Method Detail

getConfig

public abstract MapperConfig<?> getConfig()

Accessor to currently active configuration (both per-request configs and per-mapper config).

getAnnotationIntrospector

public abstract AnnotationIntrospector getAnnotationIntrospector()

Convenience method for accessing serialization view in use (if any); equivalent to:

   getConfig().getAnnotationIntrospector();

isEnabled

public abstract boolean isEnabled(MapperFeature feature)

Convenience method for checking whether specified serialization feature is enabled or not. Shortcut for:

  getConfig().isEnabled(feature);

canOverrideAccessModifiers

public abstract boolean canOverrideAccessModifiers()

Convenience method for accessing serialization view in use (if any); equivalent to:

   getConfig().canOverrideAccessModifiers();

getActiveView

public abstract java.lang.Class<?> getActiveView()

Accessor for locating currently active view, if any; returns null if no view has been set.

getLocale

public abstract java.util.Locale getLocale()

Since:

2.6

getTimeZone

public abstract java.util.TimeZone getTimeZone()

Since:

2.6

getDefaultPropertyFormat

public abstract JsonFormat.Value getDefaultPropertyFormat(java.lang.Class<?> baseType)

Since:

2.7

getAttribute

public abstract java.lang.Object getAttribute(java.lang.Object key)

Method for accessing attributes available in this context. Per-call attributes have highest precedence; attributes set via ObjectReader or ObjectWriter have lower precedence.

Parameters:

key - Key of the attribute to get

Returns:

Value of the attribute, if any; null otherwise

Since:

2.3

setAttribute

public abstract DatabindContext setAttribute(java.lang.Object key,
                                             java.lang.Object value)

Method for setting per-call value of given attribute. This will override any previously defined value for the attribute within this context.

Parameters:

key - Key of the attribute to set

value - Value to set attribute to

Returns:

This context object, to allow chaining

Since:

2.3

constructType

public JavaType constructType(java.lang.reflect.Type type)

Convenience method for constructing JavaType for given JDK type (usually Class)

constructSpecializedType

public JavaType constructSpecializedType(JavaType baseType,
                                         java.lang.Class<?> subclass)

Convenience method for constructing subtypes, retaining generic type parameter (if any)

resolveSubType

public JavaType resolveSubType(JavaType baseType,
                               java.lang.String subClassName)
                        throws JsonMappingException

Lookup method called when code needs to resolve class name from input; usually simple lookup. Note that unlike resolveAndValidateSubType(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JavaType, java.lang.String, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.jsontype.PolymorphicTypeValidator) this method DOES NOT validate subtype against configured PolymorphicTypeValidator: usually because such check has already been made.

Throws:

JsonMappingException

Since:

2.9

resolveAndValidateSubType

public JavaType resolveAndValidateSubType(JavaType baseType,
                                          java.lang.String subClass,
                                          PolymorphicTypeValidator ptv)
                                   throws JsonMappingException

Lookup method similar to resolveSubType(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JavaType, java.lang.String) but one that also validates that resulting subtype is valid according to given PolymorphicTypeValidator.

Throws:

JsonMappingException

Since:

2.10
