Class BeanPropertyWriter

java.lang.Object

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.introspect.ConcreteBeanPropertyBase

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.PropertyWriter

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.BeanPropertyWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:

BeanProperty, Named, java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

UnwrappingBeanPropertyWriter, VirtualBeanPropertyWriter

public class BeanPropertyWriter
extends PropertyWriter
implements java.io.Serializable

Base bean property handler class, which implements common parts of reflection-based functionality for accessing a property value and serializing it.

Note that current design tries to keep instances immutable (semi-functional style); mostly because these instances are exposed to application code and this is to reduce likelihood of data corruption and synchronization issues.
