Class ContentReference

java.lang.Object
com.fasterxml.jackson.core.io.ContentReference
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

public class ContentReference extends Object implements Serializable
Abstraction that encloses information about content being processed -- input source or output target, streaming or not -- for the purpose of including pertinent information in location (see JsonLocation) objections, most commonly to be printed out as part of Exception messages.
Since:
2.13

  • Field Details

    • UNKNOWN_CONTENT

      protected static final ContentReference UNKNOWN_CONTENT
      Constant that may be used when source/target content is not known (or not exposed).

      NOTE: As of 2.13 assume to contain Binary content, meaning that no content snippets will be included.

    • REDACTED_CONTENT

      protected static final ContentReference REDACTED_CONTENT
      As content will be redacted by default in Jackson 2.16 and later, we'll use a new marker reference for slightly different description from "unknown", to indicate explicit removal of source/content reference (as opposed to it missing from not being available or so)
      Since:
      2.16
    • DEFAULT_MAX_CONTENT_SNIPPET

      @Deprecated public static final int DEFAULT_MAX_CONTENT_SNIPPET
      Deprecated.
      Include at most first 500 characters/bytes from contents; should be enough to give context, but not cause unfortunate side effects in things like logs.
      Since:
      2.9
      See Also:
    • _rawContent

      protected final transient Object _rawContent
      Reference to the actual underlying content.
    • _offset

      protected final int _offset
      For static content, indicates offset from the beginning of static array. -1 if not in use.
    • _length

      protected final int _length
      For static content, indicates length of content in the static array. -1 if not in use.
    • _isContentTextual

      protected final boolean _isContentTextual
      Marker flag to indicate whether included content is textual or not: this is taken to mean, by default, that a snippet of content may be displayed for exception messages.
    • _maxRawContentLength

      protected final int _maxRawContentLength
      max raw content to return as configured
      Since:
      2.16

    • unknown

      public static ContentReference unknown()
      Accessor for getting a placeholder for cases where actual content is not known (or is not something that system wants to expose).
      Returns:
      Placeholder "unknown" (or "empty") instance to use instead of null reference
    • redacted

      public static ContentReference redacted()
      Accessor for getting a placeholder when actual content is not to be exposed: different from unknown() where content is not available to be referenced.
      Returns:
      Placeholder instance to use in cases where reference is explicitly blocked, usually for security reasons.
      Since:
      2.16

    • rawReference

      public static ContentReference rawReference(boolean isContentTextual, Object rawContent)
      Factory method for legacy code to use for constructing instances to content about which only minimal amount of information is available. Assumed not to contain textual content (no snippet displayed).
      Parameters:
      isContentTextual - Is raw content assumed to have textual content (true) or binary (false)
      rawContent - Underlying raw content access
      Returns:
      Instance with minimal information about content (basically just raw content reference without offsets

    • readResolve

      protected Object readResolve()

      public int contentOffset()
    • contentLength

      public int contentLength()
    • maxRawContentLength

      protected int maxRawContentLength()
      Internal accessor, overridable, used for checking length (in units in which content is counted, either bytes or chars) to use for truncation (so as not to include full content for humongous sources or targets)
      Returns:
      Maximum content snippet to include before truncating

      sb - StringBuilder to append description to
      Returns:
      StringBuilder passed as argument (for call chaining)
