All Known Implementing Classes:
SimpleBeanPropertyFilter, SimpleBeanPropertyFilter.FilterExceptFilter, SimpleBeanPropertyFilter.SerializeExceptFilter

public interface PropertyFilter
Interface that defines API for filter objects use (as configured using JsonFilter) for filtering bean properties to serialize.

Note that this is the replacement for BeanPropertyFilter, which is replaced because it was too closely bound to Bean properties and would not work with Maps or "any getters".

Note that since this is an interface, it is strongly recommended that custom implementations extend SimpleBeanPropertyFilter, to avoid backwards compatibility issues in case interface needs to change.

Since:
2.3
  • Method Details

    • serializeAsField

      void serializeAsField(Object pojo, JsonGenerator gen, SerializerProvider prov, PropertyWriter writer) throws Exception
      Method called by BeanSerializer to let the filter decide what to do with given bean property value: the usual choices are to either filter out (i.e. do nothing) or write using given PropertyWriter, although filters can choose other to do something different altogether.

      Typical implementation is something like:

       if (include(writer)) {
            writer.serializeAsField(pojo, gen, prov);
       }
      
      Parameters:
      pojo - Object that contains property value to serialize
      gen - Generator use for serializing value
      prov - Provider that can be used for accessing dynamic aspects of serialization processing
      writer - Object called to do actual serialization of the field, if not filtered out
      Throws:
      Exception
    • serializeAsElement

      void serializeAsElement(Object elementValue, JsonGenerator gen, SerializerProvider prov, PropertyWriter writer) throws Exception
      Method called by container to let the filter decide what to do with given element value: the usual choices are to either filter out (i.e. do nothing) or write using given PropertyWriter, although filters can choose other to do something different altogether.

      Typical implementation is something like:

       if (include(writer)) {
            writer.serializeAsElement(pojo, gen, prov);
       }
      
      Parameters:
      elementValue - Element value being serializerd
      gen - Generator use for serializing value
      prov - Provider that can be used for accessing dynamic aspects of serialization processing
      writer - Object called to do actual serialization of the field, if not filtered out
      Throws:
      Exception
    • depositSchemaProperty

      @Deprecated void depositSchemaProperty(PropertyWriter writer, ObjectNode propertiesNode, SerializerProvider provider) throws JsonMappingException
      Deprecated.
      Since 2.3: new code should use the alternative depositSchemaProperty method
      Method called by BeanSerializer to let the filter determine whether, and in what form the given property exist within the parent, or root, schema. Filters can omit adding the property to the node, or choose the form of the schema value for the property.

      Typical implementation is something like:

       if (include(writer)) {
            writer.depositSchemaProperty(propertiesNode, provider);
       }
      
      Parameters:
      writer - Bean property writer to use to create schema value
      propertiesNode - Node which the given property would exist within
      provider - Provider that can be used for accessing dynamic aspects of serialization processing
      Throws:
      JsonMappingException
    • depositSchemaProperty

      void depositSchemaProperty(PropertyWriter writer, JsonObjectFormatVisitor objectVisitor, SerializerProvider provider) throws JsonMappingException
      Method called by BeanSerializer to let the filter determine whether, and in what form the given property exist within the parent, or root, schema. Filters can omit adding the property to the node, or choose the form of the schema value for the property

      Typical implementation is something like:

       if (include(writer)) {
            writer.depositSchemaProperty(objectVisitor, provider);
       }
      
      Parameters:
      writer - Bean property serializer to use to create schema value
      objectVisitor - JsonObjectFormatVisitor which should be aware of the property's existence
      provider - Provider that can be used for accessing dynamic aspects of serialization processing
      Throws:
      JsonMappingException
