DeserializationContext (jackson-databind 2.8.5 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DatabindContext
- - com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

DefaultDeserializationContext
```
public abstract class DeserializationContext
extends DatabindContext
implements Serializable
```
Context for the process of deserialization a single root-level value. Used to allow passing in configuration settings and reusable temporary objects (scrap arrays, containers).
Instance life-cycle is such that an partially configured "blueprint" object is registered with ObjectMapper (and ObjectReader, and when an actual instance is needed for deserialization, a fully configured instance will be created using a method in excented API of sub-class (DefaultDeserializationContext.createInstance(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationConfig, com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.InjectableValues)). Each instance is guaranteed to only be used from single-threaded context; instances may be reused iff no configuration has changed.
Defined as abstract class so that implementations must define methods for reconfiguring blueprints and creating instances.

```
    Method that deserializers should call if they fail to instantiate value due to lack of viable instantiator (usually creator, that is, constructor or static factory method). Method should be called at point where value has not been decoded, so that handler has a chance to handle decoding using alternate mechanism, and handle underlying content (possibly by just skipping it) to keep input state valid
    
    Parameters:
    instClass - Type that was to be instantiated
    p - Parser that points to the JSON value to decode
    
    Returns:

    argument - (optional) Argument that was passed to constructor or equivalent instantiator; often a String.

```
    Method that deserializers should call if the first token of the value to deserialize is of unexpected type (that is, type of token that deserializer can not handle).

    baseType - Base type from which resolution starts
    id - Type id that could not be converted

public JsonMappingException weirdStringException(String value,
                                        Class<?> instClass,
                                        String msg)
```
    Helper method for constructing exception to indicate that input JSON String was not suitable for deserializing into given target type. Note that most of the time this method should NOT be called; instead, handleWeirdStringValue(java.lang.Class<?>, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.Object...) should be called which will call this method if necessary.
    
    Parameters:
    value - String value from input being deserialized
    instClass - Type that String should be deserialized into
    msg - Message that describes specific problem
    Since:
    
    2.1
  - weirdNumberException
```
public JsonMappingException weirdNumberException(Number value,
                                        Class<?> instClass,
                                        String msg)
```
    Helper method for constructing exception to indicate that input JSON Number was not suitable for deserializing into given target type. Note that most of the time this method should NOT be called; instead, handleWeirdNumberValue(java.lang.Class<?>, java.lang.Number, java.lang.String, java.lang.Object...) should be called which will call this method if necessary.
  - instantiationException
```
public JsonMappingException instantiationException(Class<?> instClass,
                                          Throwable t)
```
    Helper method for constructing instantiation exception for specified type, to indicate problem with physically constructing instance of specified class (missing constructor, exception from constructor)
    Note that most of the time this method should NOT be called; instead, handleInstantiationProblem(java.lang.Class<?>, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Throwable) should be called which will call this method if necessary.
  - instantiationException
```
public JsonMappingException instantiationException(Class<?> instClass,
                                          String msg)
```
    Helper method for constructing instantiation exception for specified type, to indicate that instantiation failed due to missing instantiator (creator; constructor or factory method).
    Note that most of the time this method should NOT be called; instead, handleMissingInstantiator(java.lang.Class<?>, com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser, java.lang.String, java.lang.Object...) should be called which will call this method if necessary.
  - unknownTypeIdException
```
public JsonMappingException unknownTypeIdException(JavaType baseType,
                                          String typeId,
                                          String extraDesc)
```
    Helper method for constructing exception to indicate that given type id could not be resolved to a valid subtype of specified base type, during polymorphic deserialization.
    Note that most of the time this method should NOT be called; instead, handleUnknownTypeId(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JavaType, java.lang.String, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.jsontype.TypeIdResolver, java.lang.String) should be called which will call this method if necessary.
  - unknownTypeException
```
