Class MapLikeType

java.lang.Object
  org.codehaus.jackson.type.JavaType
      org.codehaus.jackson.map.type.TypeBase
          org.codehaus.jackson.map.type.MapLikeType

All Implemented Interfaces:

JsonSerializable, JsonSerializableWithType

Direct Known Subclasses:

MapType

public class MapLikeType
extends TypeBase

Type that represents Map-like types; things that consist of key/value pairs but that do not necessarily implement Map, but that do not have enough introspection functionality to allow for some level of generic handling. This specifically allows framework to check for configuration and annotation settings used for Map types, and pass these to custom handlers that may be more familiar with actual type.

Since:

1.8

withTypeHandler

public MapLikeType withTypeHandler(Object h)

Description copied from class: JavaType

"Copy method" that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it will have specified type handler assigned.

Specified by:

withTypeHandler in class JavaType

Returns:

Newly created type instance

withContentTypeHandler

public MapLikeType withContentTypeHandler(Object h)

Description copied from class: JavaType

"Copy method" that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that its content type will have specified type handler assigned.

Specified by:

withContentTypeHandler in class JavaType

Returns:

Newly created type instance

withValueHandler

public MapLikeType withValueHandler(Object h)

Overrides:

withValueHandler in class JavaType

withContentValueHandler

public MapLikeType withContentValueHandler(Object h)

Overrides:

withContentValueHandler in class JavaType

buildCanonicalName

protected String buildCanonicalName()

Specified by:

buildCanonicalName in class TypeBase

isContainerType

public boolean isContainerType()

Specified by:

isContainerType in class JavaType

Returns:

True if type represented is a container type; this includes array, Map and Collection types.

isMapLikeType

public boolean isMapLikeType()

Overrides:

isMapLikeType in class JavaType

Returns:

True if type is either true Map type, or something similar (meaning it has at least two type parameter; first one describing key type, second value type)

getKeyType

public JavaType getKeyType()

Description copied from class: JavaType

Method for accessing key type for this type, assuming type has such a concept (only Map types do)

Overrides:

getKeyType in class JavaType

getContentType

Method for accessing definitions of contained ("child") types.

Overrides:

Parameters:

index - Index of contained type to return

Returns:

Contained type at index, or null if no such type exists (no exception thrown)

getErasedSignature

public StringBuilder getErasedSignature(StringBuilder sb)
