public interface Annotator

Adds annotations to generated types for compatibility with a JSON serialization library.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	anyGetter(com.sun.codemodel.JMethod getter) Add the necessary annotation to mark a Java method as the getter for additional JSON property values that do not match any of the other property names found in the bean.
void	anySetter(com.sun.codemodel.JMethod setter) Add the necessary annotation to mark a Java method as the setter for additional JSON property values that do not match any of the other property names found in the bean.
void	enumCreatorMethod(com.sun.codemodel.JMethod creatorMethod) Add the necessary annotation to mark a static Java method as the creator/factory method which can choose the correct Java enum value for a given JSON value during deserialization.
void	enumValueMethod(com.sun.codemodel.JMethod valueMethod) Add the necessary annotation to mark a Java method as the value method that is used to turn a Java enum value into a JSON value during serialization.
boolean	isAdditionalPropertiesSupported() Indicates whether the annotation style that this annotator uses can support the JSON Schema 'additionalProperties' feature.
void	propertyField(com.sun.codemodel.JFieldVar field, com.sun.codemodel.JDefinedClass clazz, String propertyName, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode propertyNode) Add the necessary annotation to mark a Java field as a JSON property
void	propertyGetter(com.sun.codemodel.JMethod getter, String propertyName) Add the necessary annotation to mark a Java method as the getter for a JSON property
void	propertyInclusion(com.sun.codemodel.JDefinedClass clazz, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode schema) Add the necessary annotation to cause only non-null values to be included during serialization.
void	propertyOrder(com.sun.codemodel.JDefinedClass clazz, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode propertiesNode) Add the necessary annotation to dictate correct property order during serialization
void	propertySetter(com.sun.codemodel.JMethod setter, String propertyName) Add the necessary annotation to mark a Java method as the setter for a JSON property

Method Detail

propertyOrder

void propertyOrder(com.sun.codemodel.JDefinedClass clazz,
                 com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode propertiesNode)

Add the necessary annotation to dictate correct property order during serialization

Parameters:

clazz - a generated pojo class, that is serialized to JSON

propertiesNode - the properties to be ordered

propertyInclusion

void propertyInclusion(com.sun.codemodel.JDefinedClass clazz,
                     com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode schema)

Add the necessary annotation to cause only non-null values to be included during serialization.

Parameters:

clazz - a generated pojo class, that is serialized to JSON

schemaNode - the object schema associated with this clazz

propertyField

void propertyField(com.sun.codemodel.JFieldVar field,
                 com.sun.codemodel.JDefinedClass clazz,
                 String propertyName,
                 com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode propertyNode)

Add the necessary annotation to mark a Java field as a JSON property

Parameters:

field - the field that contains data that will be serialized

clazz - the owner of the field (class to which the field belongs)

propertyName - the name of the JSON property that this field represents

propertyNode - the schema node defining this property

propertyGetter

void propertyGetter(com.sun.codemodel.JMethod getter,
                  String propertyName)

Add the necessary annotation to mark a Java method as the getter for a JSON property

Parameters:

getter - the method that will be used to get the value of the given JSON property

propertyName - the name of the JSON property that this getter gets

propertySetter

void propertySetter(com.sun.codemodel.JMethod setter,
                  String propertyName)

Add the necessary annotation to mark a Java method as the setter for a JSON property

Parameters:

setter - the method that will be used to set the value of the given JSON property

propertyName - the name of the JSON property that this setter sets

anyGetter

void anyGetter(com.sun.codemodel.JMethod getter)

Add the necessary annotation to mark a Java method as the getter for additional JSON property values that do not match any of the other property names found in the bean.

Parameters:

getter - the method that will be used to get the values of additional properties

anySetter

void anySetter(com.sun.codemodel.JMethod setter)

Add the necessary annotation to mark a Java method as the setter for additional JSON property values that do not match any of the other property names found in the bean.

Parameters:

setter - the method that will be used to set the values of additional properties

enumCreatorMethod

void enumCreatorMethod(com.sun.codemodel.JMethod creatorMethod)

Add the necessary annotation to mark a static Java method as the creator/factory method which can choose the correct Java enum value for a given JSON value during deserialization.

Parameters:

creatorMethod - the method that can create a Java enum value from a JSON value

enumValueMethod

void enumValueMethod(com.sun.codemodel.JMethod valueMethod)

Add the necessary annotation to mark a Java method as the value method that is used to turn a Java enum value into a JSON value during serialization.

Parameters:

valueMethod - the enum instance method that can create a JSON value during serialization

isAdditionalPropertiesSupported

boolean isAdditionalPropertiesSupported()

Indicates whether the annotation style that this annotator uses can support the JSON Schema 'additionalProperties' feature. In other words, can the deserializer associated with this annotation style gather unexpected, additional json properties and does it expect to include them somewhere in the target Java instance.

Jackson is able to use it's JsonAnyGetter and JsonAnySetter features for this purpose, hence for Jackson annotators, this method will return true. Gson does not support 'additional' property values (they are silently discarded at deserialization time), hence for Gson annotators, this method would return false.

Returns:

Whether this annotator has any way to support 'additional properties'.
