Class SimpleModule

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Versioned, Serializable


    public class SimpleModule
    extends Module
    implements Serializable
    Vanilla Module implementation that allows registration of serializers and deserializers, bean serializer and deserializer modifiers, registration of subtypes and mix-ins as well as some other commonly needed aspects (addition of custom AbstractTypeResolvers, ValueInstantiators).

    NOTE: although it is not expected that sub-types should need to override Module.setupModule(SetupContext) method, if they choose to do so they MUST call super.setupModule(context); to ensure that registration works as expected.

    WARNING: when registering JsonSerializers and JsonDeserializers, only type erased Class is compared: this means that usually you should NOT use this implementation for registering structured types such as Collections or Maps: this because parametric type information will not be considered and you may end up having "wrong" handler for your type. What you need to do, instead, is to implement Deserializers and/or Serializers callbacks to match full type signatures (with JavaType).

        protected final String _name
      • _version

        protected final Version _version
      • _hasExplicitName

        protected final boolean _hasExplicitName
        Flag that indicates whether module was given an explicit name or not. Distinction is used to determine whether method getTypeId() should return name (yes, if explicit) or null (if no explicit name was passed).

      • _abstractTypes

        protected SimpleAbstractTypeResolver _abstractTypes
        Lazily-constructed resolver used for storing mappings from abstract classes to more specific implementing classes (which may be abstract or concrete)
      • _valueInstantiators

        protected SimpleValueInstantiators _valueInstantiators
        Lazily-constructed resolver used for storing mappings from abstract classes to more specific implementing classes (which may be abstract or concrete)
      • _mixins

        protected HashMap<Class<?>,Class<?>> _mixins
        Lazily-constructed map that contains mix-in definitions, indexed by target class, value being mix-in to apply.
    • Constructor Detail

      • SimpleModule

        public SimpleModule()
        Constructors that should only be used for non-reusable convenience modules used by app code: "real" modules should use actual name and version number information.
      • SimpleModule

        public SimpleModule(Version version)
        Convenience constructor that will use specified Version, including name from Version.getArtifactId().
      • SimpleModule

        public SimpleModule(String name,
                            Version version)
        Constructor to use for actual reusable modules. ObjectMapper may use name as identifier to notice attempts for multiple registrations of the same module (although it does not have to).
        Parameters:
        name - Unique name of the module
        version - Version of the module

      • getTypeId

        public Object getTypeId()
        Since instances are likely to be custom, implementation returns null if (but only if!) this class is directly instantiated; but class name (default impl) for sub-classes.
        Overrides:
        getTypeId in class Module

      • setAbstractTypes

        public void setAbstractTypes(SimpleAbstractTypeResolver atr)

      • addSerializer

        public SimpleModule addSerializer(JsonSerializer<?> ser)
        Method for adding serializer to handle type that the serializer claims to handle (see JsonSerializer.handledType()).

        WARNING! Type matching only uses type-erased Class and should NOT be used when registering serializers for generic types like Collection and Map.

      • addSerializer

        public <T> SimpleModule addSerializer(Class<? extends T> type,
