Class JavaFieldSchema

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, SchemaProvider

    @Experimental(SCHEMAS)
    public class JavaFieldSchema
    extends GetterBasedSchemaProvider
    A SchemaProvider for Java POJO objects.

    This provider finds all public fields (recursively) in a Java object, and creates schemas and rows that bind to those fields. The field order in the schema is not guaranteed to match the field order in the class. The Java object is expected to have implemented a correct .equals() and .hashCode() methods. The equals method must be completely determined by the schema fields. i.e. if the object has hidden fields that are not reflected in the schema but are compared in equals, then results will be incorrect.

    TODO: Validate equals() method is provided, and if not generate a "slow" equals method based on the schema.
