Package com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.jsontype.impl

Class TypeIdResolverBase

java.lang.Object

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.jsontype.impl.TypeIdResolverBase

All Implemented Interfaces:

TypeIdResolver

Direct Known Subclasses:

ClassNameIdResolver, TypeNameIdResolver

public abstract class TypeIdResolverBase
extends Object
implements TypeIdResolver

Partial base implementation of TypeIdResolver: all custom implementations are strongly recommended to extend this class, instead of directly implementing TypeIdResolver. Note that ALL sub-class need to re-implement typeFromId(DatabindContext, String) method; otherwise implementation will not work.

Note that instances created to be constructed from annotations (JsonTypeIdResolver) are always created using no-arguments constructor; protected constructor is only used sub-classes.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
String	getDescForKnownTypeIds()	Helper method used to get a simple description of all known type ids, for use in error messages.
String	idFromBaseType()	Method that can be called to figure out type id to use for instances of base type (declared type of property).
void	init(JavaType bt)	Method that will be called once before any type resolution calls; used to initialize instance with configuration.
JavaType	typeFromId(DatabindContext context, String id)	Method called to resolve type from given type identifier.

Method Detail

init

public void init(JavaType bt)

Description copied from interface: TypeIdResolver

Method that will be called once before any type resolution calls; used to initialize instance with configuration. This is necessary since instances may be created via reflection, without ability to call specific constructor to pass in configuration settings.

Specified by:

init in interface TypeIdResolver

Parameters:

bt - Base type for which this id resolver instance is used

idFromBaseType

public String idFromBaseType()

Description copied from interface: TypeIdResolver

Method that can be called to figure out type id to use for instances of base type (declared type of property). This is usually only used for fallback handling, for cases where real type information is not available for some reason.

Specified by:

idFromBaseType in interface TypeIdResolver

typeFromId

public JavaType typeFromId(DatabindContext context,
                           String id)
                    throws IOException

Description copied from interface: TypeIdResolver

Method called to resolve type from given type identifier.

Specified by:

typeFromId in interface TypeIdResolver

Throws:

IOException

getDescForKnownTypeIds

public String getDescForKnownTypeIds()

Helper method used to get a simple description of all known type ids, for use in error messages.

Specified by:

getDescForKnownTypeIds in interface TypeIdResolver
