Class BeanViewDescriptorProvider

java.lang.Object

com.owlike.genson.reflect.AbstractBeanDescriptorProvider

com.owlike.genson.reflect.BaseBeanDescriptorProvider

com.owlike.genson.reflect.BeanViewDescriptorProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:

BeanDescriptorProvider

public class BeanViewDescriptorProvider
extends BaseBeanDescriptorProvider

This class constructs BeanDescriptors for the BeanView mechanism. This class is mainly intended for internal use. It can be directly used if needed to get a BeanDescriptor instance for a BeanView (for example if you want to deserialize into an existing object and apply a BeanView). Extending BeanViewDescriptorProvider should be avoided.

Method Detail

provide

public <T> BeanDescriptor<T> provide(Class<T> ofClass,
                                     Type ofType,
                                     Genson genson)

Description copied from interface: BeanDescriptorProvider

Provides a BeanDescriptor that can serialize/deserialize "ofClass" type, based on "type" argument. The arguments "ofClass" and "type" will be the same in most cases, but for example in BeanViews ofClass will correspond to the parameterized type and "type" to the BeanView implementation.

Specified by:

provide in interface BeanDescriptorProvider

Overrides:

provide in class AbstractBeanDescriptorProvider

Parameters:

ofClass - is the Class for which we need a BeanDescriptor that will be able to serialize/deserialize objects of that type;

ofType - to use to build this descriptor (use its declared methods, fields, etc).

genson - is the current Genson instance.

Returns:

A BeanDescriptor instance able to serialize/deserialize objects of type ofClass.

provideBeanCreators

public List<BeanCreator> provideBeanCreators(Type ofType,
                                             Genson genson)

Description copied from class: AbstractBeanDescriptorProvider

Provides a list of BeanCreator for type ofType.

Overrides:

provideBeanCreators in class BaseBeanDescriptorProvider

Returns:

a list of resolved bean creators
