_referencedType
protected final JavaType _referencedType
-
_anchorType
protected final JavaType _anchorType
Essential type used for type ids, for example if type id is needed for referencing type with polymorphic handling. Typically initialized when aSimpleTypeis upgraded into reference type, but NOT changed if being sub-classed.- Since:
- 2.8

ReferenceType
protected ReferenceType(TypeBase base, JavaType refType)
Constructor used when upgrading into this type (viaupgradeFrom(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JavaType, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JavaType), the usual way forReferenceTypes to come into existence. Sets up what is considered the "base" reference type- Since:
- 2.7

Method Detail
-
upgradeFrom
public static ReferenceType upgradeFrom(JavaType baseType, JavaType refdType)
Factory method that can be used to "upgrade" a basic type into collection-like one; usually done viaTypeModifier- Parameters:
baseType- Resolved non-reference type (usuallySimpleType) that is being upgradedrefdType- Referenced type; usually the first and only type parameter, but not necessarily- Since:
- 2.7
-
construct
public static ReferenceType construct(Class<?> cls, TypeBindings bindings, JavaType superClass, JavaType[] superInts, JavaType refType)
- Since:
- 2.7
-
construct
@Deprecated public static ReferenceType construct(Class<?> cls, JavaType refType)
Deprecated.
-
withContentType
public JavaType withContentType(JavaType contentType)
Description copied from class:JavaTypeMutant factory method that may be called on structured types that have a so-called content type (element of arrays, value type of Maps, referenced type of referential types), and will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it has specified content type, instead of current one. If content type is already set to given type,thisis returned. If type does not have a content type (which is the case withSimpleType),IllegalArgumentExceptionwill be thrown.- Overrides:
withContentTypein classSimpleType- Returns:
- Newly created type instance
-
withTypeHandler
public ReferenceType 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.- Overrides:
withTypeHandlerin classSimpleType- Returns:
- Newly created type instance
-
withContentTypeHandler
public ReferenceType withContentTypeHandler(Object h)
Description copied from class:JavaTypeMutant factory method that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it will have specified content type (element type for arrays, value type for Maps and so forth) handler assigned.- Overrides:
withContentTypeHandlerin classSimpleType- Returns:
- Newly created type instance, with given
-
withValueHandler
public ReferenceType withValueHandler(Object h)
Description copied from class:JavaTypeMutant factory method that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it will have specified value handler assigned.- Overrides:
withValueHandlerin classSimpleType- Returns:
- Newly created type instance
-
withContentValueHandler
public ReferenceType withContentValueHandler(Object h)
Description copied from class:JavaTypeMutant factory method that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it will have specified content value handler assigned.- Overrides:
withContentValueHandlerin classSimpleType- Returns:
- Newly created type instance
-
withStaticTyping
public ReferenceType withStaticTyping()
Description copied from class:JavaTypeMethod that can be called to get a type instance that indicates that values of the type should be handled using "static typing" for purposes of serialization (as opposed to "dynamic" aka runtime typing): meaning that no runtime information is needed for determining serializers to use. The main use case is to allow forcing of specific root value serialization type, and specifically in resolving serializers for contained types (element types for arrays, Collections and Maps).- Overrides:
withStaticTypingin classSimpleType
-
refine
public JavaType refine(Class<?> rawType, TypeBindings bindings, JavaType superClass, JavaType[] superInterfaces)
Description copied from class:JavaTypeMutant factory method that will try to create and return a sub-type instance for known parameterized types; for other types will return `null` to indicate that no just refinement makes necessary sense, without trying to detect special status through implemented interfaces.- Overrides:
refinein classSimpleType
-
buildCanonicalName
protected String buildCanonicalName()
- Overrides:
buildCanonicalNamein classSimpleType
-
_narrow
@Deprecated protected JavaType _narrow(Class<?> subclass)
Deprecated.- Overrides:

-
getReferencedType
public JavaType getReferencedType()
- Overrides:
getReferencedTypein classJavaType
-
hasContentType
public boolean hasContentType()
Description copied from class:JavaTypeAccessor that allows determining whetherJavaType.getContentType()should return a non-null value (that is, there is a "content type") or not. True ifJavaType.isContainerType()orResolvedType.isReferenceType()return true.- Overrides:
hasContentTypein classSimpleType
-
isReferenceType
public boolean isReferenceType()
- Overrides:
isReferenceTypein classcom.fasterxml.jackson.core.type.ResolvedType
-
getErasedSignature
public StringBuilder getErasedSignature(StringBuilder sb)
Description copied from class:JavaTypeMethod for accessing signature without generic type information, in form compatible with all versions of JVM, and specifically used for type descriptions when generating byte code.- Overrides:
getErasedSignaturein classSimpleType- Parameters:
sb- StringBuilder to append signature to- Returns:
- StringBuilder that was passed in; returned to allow call chaining
-
getGenericSignature
public StringBuilder getGenericSignature(StringBuilder sb)
- Overrides:
getGenericSignaturein classSimpleType- Parameters:
sb- StringBuilder to append signature to- Returns:
- StringBuilder that was passed in; returned to allow call chaining
-
getAnchorType
public JavaType getAnchorType()
-
isAnchorType
public boolean isAnchorType()
Convenience accessor that allows checking whether this is the anchor type itself; if not, it must be one of supertypes that is also aReferenceType
