Class StdDelegatingDeserializer<T>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - Target type to convert to, from delegate type
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    ContextualDeserializer, Serializable


    public class StdDelegatingDeserializer<T>
    extends StdDeserializer<T>
    implements ContextualDeserializer
    Deserializer implementation where given Java type is first deserialized by a standard Jackson deserializer into a delegate type; and then this delegate type is converted using a configured Converter into desired target type. Common delegate types to use are Map and JsonNode.

    Note that although types (delegate, target) may be related, they must not be same; trying to do this will result in an exception.

      • createContextual

        public JsonDeserializer<?> createContextual(DeserializationContext ctxt,
                                           BeanProperty property)
                                             throws JsonMappingException
        Description copied from interface: ContextualDeserializer
        Method called to see if a different (or differently configured) deserializer is needed to deserialize values of specified property. Note that instance that this method is called on is typically shared one and as a result method should NOT modify this instance but rather construct and return a new instance. This instance should only be returned as-is, in case it is already suitable for use.
        Specified by:
        createContextual in interface ContextualDeserializer
        Parameters:
        ctxt - Deserialization context to access configuration, additional deserializers that may be needed by this deserializer
        property - Method, field or constructor parameter that represents the property (and is used to assign deserialized value). Should be available; but there may be cases where caller can not provide it and null is passed instead (in which case impls usually pass 'this' deserializer as is)
        Returns:
        Deserializer to use for deserializing values of specified property; may be this instance or a new instance.
        Throws:
        JsonMappingException
      • getDelegatee

        public JsonDeserializer<?> getDelegatee()
        Description copied from class: JsonDeserializer
        Accessor that can be used to determine if this deserializer uses another deserializer for actual deserialization, by delegating calls. If so, will return immediate delegate (which itself may delegate to further deserializers); otherwise will return null.
        Overrides:
        getDelegatee in class JsonDeserializer<T>
        Returns:
        Deserializer this deserializer delegates calls to, if null; null otherwise.
      • deserialize

        public T deserialize(JsonParser jp,
                    DeserializationContext ctxt)
                      throws IOException,
                             JsonProcessingException
        Description copied from class: JsonDeserializer
        Method that can be called to ask implementation to deserialize JSON content into the value type this serializer handles. Returned instance is to be constructed by method itself.

        Pre-condition for this method is that the parser points to the first event that is part of value to deserializer (and which is never JSON 'null' literal, more on this below): for simple types it may be the only value; and for structured types the Object start marker. Post-condition is that the parser will point to the last event that is part of deserialized value (or in case deserialization fails, event that was not recognized or usable, which may be the same event as the one it pointed to upon call).

        Note that this method is never called for JSON null literal, and thus deserializers need (and should) not check for it.

        Specified by:
        deserialize in class JsonDeserializer<T>
        Parameters:
        jp - Parsed used for reading JSON content
        ctxt - Context that can be used to access information about this deserialization activity.
        Returns:
        Deserializer value
        Throws:
        IOException
        JsonProcessingException
      • convertValue

        protected T convertValue(Object delegateValue)
        Method called to convert from "delegate value" (which was deserialized from JSON using standard Jackson deserializer for delegate type) into desired target type.

        The default implementation uses configured Converter to do conversion.

        Parameters:
        delegateValue -
        Returns:
        Result of conversion
