DatabindContext (jackson-databind 2.7.0-rc1)

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

Direct Known Subclasses:

DeserializationContext, SerializerProvider
```
public abstract class DatabindContext
extends Object
```
Shared base class for DeserializationContext and SerializerProvider, context objects passed through data-binding process. Designed so that some of implementations can rely on shared aspects like access to secondary contextual objects like type factories or handler instantiators.

Since:

2.2

Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`boolean`	`canOverrideAccessModifiers()` Convenience method for accessing serialization view in use (if any); equivalent to:
`JavaType`	`constructSpecializedType(JavaType baseType, Class<?> subclass)` Convenience method for constructing subtypes, retaining generic type parameter (if any)
`JavaType`	`constructType(Type type)` Convenience method for constructing `JavaType` for given JDK type (usually `Class`)
`Converter<Object,Object>`	`converterInstance(Annotated annotated, Object converterDef)` Helper method to use to construct a `Converter`, given a definition that may be either actual converter instance, or Class for instantiating one.
`abstract Class<?>`	`getActiveView()` Accessor for locating currently active view, if any; returns null if no view has been set.
`abstract AnnotationIntrospector`	`getAnnotationIntrospector()` Convenience method for accessing serialization view in use (if any); equivalent to:
`abstract Object`	`getAttribute(Object key)` Method for accessing attributes available in this context.
`abstract MapperConfig<?>`	`getConfig()` Accessor to currently active configuration (both per-request configs and per-mapper config).
`abstract Locale`	`getLocale()`
`abstract TimeZone`	`getTimeZone()`
`abstract TypeFactory`	`getTypeFactory()`
`boolean`	`isEnabled(MapperFeature feature)` Convenience method for checking whether specified serialization feature is enabled or not.
`ObjectIdGenerator<?>`	`objectIdGeneratorInstance(Annotated annotated, ObjectIdInfo objectIdInfo)`
`ObjectIdResolver`	`objectIdResolverInstance(Annotated annotated, ObjectIdInfo objectIdInfo)`
`abstract DatabindContext`	`setAttribute(Object key, Object value)` Method for setting per-call value of given attribute.

  - DatabindContext
```
public DatabindContext()
```
- Method Detail
  - getConfig
```
public abstract MapperConfig<?> getConfig()
```
    Accessor to currently active configuration (both per-request configs and per-mapper config).
  - getAnnotationIntrospector
```
public abstract AnnotationIntrospector getAnnotationIntrospector()
```
    Convenience method for accessing serialization view in use (if any); equivalent to:
```
   getConfig().getAnnotationIntrospector();
```
  - isEnabled
```
public final boolean isEnabled(MapperFeature feature)
```
    Convenience method for checking whether specified serialization feature is enabled or not. Shortcut for:
```
  getConfig().isEnabled(feature);
```
  - canOverrideAccessModifiers
```
public final boolean canOverrideAccessModifiers()
```
    Convenience method for accessing serialization view in use (if any); equivalent to:
```
   getConfig().canOverrideAccessModifiers();
```
  - getActiveView
```
public abstract Class<?> getActiveView()
```
    Accessor for locating currently active view, if any; returns null if no view has been set.
  - getLocale
```
public abstract Locale getLocale()
```
    Since:
    
    2.6
  - getTimeZone
```
public abstract TimeZone getTimeZone()
```
    Since:
    
    2.6
  - getAttribute
```
public abstract Object getAttribute(Object key)
```
    Method for accessing attributes available in this context. Per-call attributes have highest precedence; attributes set via ObjectReader or ObjectWriter have lower precedence.
    
    Parameters:
    key - Key of the attribute to get
    
    Returns:
    Value of the attribute, if any; null otherwise
    Since:
    
    2.3
  - setAttribute
```
public abstract DatabindContext setAttribute(Object key,
                           Object value)
```
    Method for setting per-call value of given attribute. This will override any previously defined value for the attribute within this context.
    
    Parameters:
    key - Key of the attribute to set
    value - Value to set attribute to
    
    Returns:
    This context object, to allow chaining

  - constructType
```
public JavaType constructType(Type type)
```
    Convenience method for constructing JavaType for given JDK type (usually Class)
  - constructSpecializedType
```
public JavaType constructSpecializedType(JavaType baseType,
                                Class<?> subclass)
```
    Convenience method for constructing subtypes, retaining generic type parameter (if any)
  - getTypeFactory
```
public abstract TypeFactory getTypeFactory()
```
  - objectIdGeneratorInstance
```
public ObjectIdGenerator<?> objectIdGeneratorInstance(Annotated annotated,
                                             ObjectIdInfo objectIdInfo)
                                               throws JsonMappingException
```
    Throws:
    
    JsonMappingException
  - objectIdResolverInstance
```
public ObjectIdResolver objectIdResolverInstance(Annotated annotated,
                                        ObjectIdInfo objectIdInfo)
```
  - converterInstance
```
public Converter<Object,Object> converterInstance(Annotated annotated,
                                         Object converterDef)
                                           throws JsonMappingException
```
    Helper method to use to construct a Converter, given a definition that may be either actual converter instance, or Class for instantiating one.
    
    Throws:
