Method Detail

create

public Converter<?> create(Type type,
                           Genson genson)

Description copied from interface: Factory

Implementations of this method must try to create an instance of type T based on the parameter "type". If this factory can not create an object of type T for parameter type then it must return null.

Specified by:

create in interface Factory<Converter<?>>

Overrides:

create in class ChainedFactory

Parameters:

type - used to build an instance of T.

Returns:

null if it doesn't support this type or an instance of T (or a subclass).

create

protected Converter<?> create(Type type,
                              Genson genson,
                              Converter<?> nextConverter)

Description copied from class: ChainedFactory

This method will be called by ChainedFactory.create(Type, Genson) with nextConverter being the converter created for current type by the next factory. This means that ChainedFactory will first create a converter with the next factory and then use it's own create method.

Specified by:

create in class ChainedFactory

Parameters:

type - for which this factory must provide a converter

genson - instance that you can use when you need a converter for some other type (for example a converter of List<Integer> will need a converter for Integer type).

nextConverter - created by the next factory, may be null.

Returns:

null or a converter for this type
