Class ObjectArrayDeserializer

    • Field Detail

      • _arrayType

        protected final ArrayType _arrayType
        Full generic type of the array being deserialized

      • _untyped

        protected final boolean _untyped
        Flag that indicates whether the component type is Object or not. Used for minor optimization when constructing result.

      • _elementClass

        protected final Class<?> _elementClass
        Type of contained elements: needed for constructing actual result array

      • _elementTypeDeserializer

        protected final TypeDeserializer _elementTypeDeserializer
        If element instances have polymorphic type information, this is the type deserializer that can handle it

      • _unwrapSingle

        protected final Boolean _unwrapSingle
        Specific override for this instance (from proper, or global per-type overrides) to indicate whether single value may be taken to mean an unwrapped one-element array or not. If null, left to global defaults.

    • Method Detail

      • 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

      • isCachable

        public boolean isCachable()
        Description copied from class: JsonDeserializer
        Method called to see if deserializer instance is cachable and usable for other properties of same type (type for which instance was created).

        Note that cached instances are still resolved on per-property basis, if instance implements ResolvableDeserializer: cached instance is just as the base. This means that in most cases it is safe to cache instances; however, it only makes sense to cache instances if instantiation is expensive, or if instances are heavy-weight.

        Default implementation returns false, to indicate that no caching is done.

        Overrides:
        isCachable in class JsonDeserializer<Object[]>

      • deserialize

        public Object[] deserialize(JsonParser p,
                   DeserializationContext ctxt)
                     throws IOException
        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 or a FIELD_NAME.

        The two possible input conditions for structured types result from polymorphism via fields. In the ordinary case, Jackson calls this method when it has encountered an OBJECT_START, and the method implementation must advance to the next token to see the first field name. If the application configures polymorphism via a field, then the object looks like the following. 

              {
          "@class": "class name",
          ...
      }
        Jackson consumes the two tokens (the @class field name and its value) in order to learn the class and select the deserializer. Thus, the stream is pointing to the FIELD_NAME for the first field after the @class. Thus, if you want your method to work correctly both with and without polymorphism, you must begin your method with: 
               if (jp.getCurrentToken() == JsonToken.START_OBJECT) {
         jp.nextToken();
       }
        This results in the stream pointing to the field name, so that the two conditions align.

        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<Object[]>
        Parameters:
        p - Parsed used for reading JSON content
        ctxt - Context that can be used to access information about this deserialization activity.
        Returns:
        Deserialized value
        Throws:
        IOException
