Class DefaultSerializerProvider

java.lang.Object

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DatabindContext

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializerProvider

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.DefaultSerializerProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

DefaultSerializerProvider.Impl

public abstract class DefaultSerializerProvider
extends SerializerProvider
implements java.io.Serializable

Standard implementation used by ObjectMapper: adds methods only exposed to ObjectMapper, as well as constructors.

Note that class is abstract just because it does not define createInstance(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializationConfig, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.SerializerFactory) method.

Also note that all custom SerializerProvider implementations must sub-class this class: ObjectMapper requires this type, not basic provider type.

public abstract DefaultSerializerProvider createInstance(SerializationConfig config,
                                                         SerializerFactory jsf)

Method that sub-classes need to implement: used to create a non-blueprint instances from the blueprint. This is needed to retain state during serialization.

copy

public DefaultSerializerProvider copy()

Method needed to ensure that ObjectMapper.copy() will work properly; specifically, that caches are cleared, but settings will otherwise remain identical; and that no sharing of state occurs.

Description copied from class: SerializerProvider

Method that can be called to construct and configure serializer instance, either given a Class to instantiate (with default constructor), or an uninitialized serializer instance.

Description copied from class: SerializerProvider

Method that can be called to construct and configure JsonInclude filter instance, given a Class to instantiate (with default constructor, by default).

Specified by:

includeFilterInstance in class SerializerProvider

Parameters:

includeFilterSuppressNulls

public boolean includeFilterSuppressNulls(java.lang.Object filter)
                                   throws JsonMappingException

Description copied from class: SerializerProvider

Follow-up method that may be called after calling SerializerProvider.includeFilterInstance(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.introspect.BeanPropertyDefinition, java.lang.Class<?>), to check handling of `null` values by the filter.

Specified by:

includeFilterSuppressNulls in class SerializerProvider

Throws:

JsonMappingException

findObjectId

public WritableObjectId findObjectId(java.lang.Object forPojo,
                                     ObjectIdGenerator<?> generatorType)

Method called to find the Object Id for given POJO, if one has been generated. Will always return a non-null Object; contents vary depending on whether an Object Id already exists or not.

Specified by:

findObjectId in class SerializerProvider

hasSerializerFor

public boolean hasSerializerFor(java.lang.Class<?> cls,

Method that can be called to see if this serializer provider can find a serializer for an instance of given class.

Note that no Exceptions are thrown, including unchecked ones: implementations are to swallow exceptions if necessary.

getGenerator

public JsonGenerator getGenerator()

Accessor for the JsonGenerator currently in use for serializing content. Null for blueprint instances; non-null for actual active provider instances.

Overrides:

getGenerator in class SerializerProvider

Since:

2.8

public void serializeValue(JsonGenerator gen,
                           java.lang.Object value)
                    throws java.io.IOException

The method to be called by ObjectMapper and ObjectWriter for serializing given value, using serializers that this provider has access to (via caching and/or creating new serializers as need be).

Throws:

                    throws java.io.IOException

The method to be called by ObjectMapper and ObjectWriter for serializing given value (assumed to be of specified root type, instead of runtime type of value), using serializers that this provider has access to (via caching and/or creating new serializers as need be),

Parameters:

rootType - Type to use for locating serializer to use, instead of actual runtime type. Must be actual type, or one of its super types

Throws:

java.io.IOException

serializeValue

public void serializeValue(JsonGenerator gen,
                           java.lang.Object value,

                    throws java.io.IOException

public void serializePolymorphic(JsonGenerator gen,
                                 java.lang.Object value,
                                 JavaType rootType,

Throws:

java.io.IOException

Since:

2.6

cachedSerializersCount

public int cachedSerializersCount()

Method that can be used to determine how many serializers this provider is caching currently (if it does caching: default implementation does) Exact count depends on what kind of serializers get cached; default implementation caches all serializers, including ones that are eagerly constructed (for optimal access speed)

The main use case for this method is to allow conditional flushing of serializer cache, if certain number of entries is reached.

flushCachedSerializers

public void flushCachedSerializers()

Method that will drop all serializers currently cached by this provider. This can be used to remove memory usage (in case some serializers are only used once or so), or to force re-construction of serializers after configuration changes for mapper than owns the provider.

The method to be called by ObjectMapper and ObjectWriter to to expose the format of the given to to the given visitor

Parameters:

javaType - The type for which to generate format

visitor - the visitor to accept the format

Throws:

JsonMappingException

generateJsonSchema

@Deprecated
public JsonSchema generateJsonSchema(java.lang.Class<?> type)
                                          throws JsonMappingException
