Package org.coliper.ibean.extension

Contains all extension interfaces that are supported out of the box by IBean.

See: Description

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
CloneableBean<T>	Enables cloning of beans via Object.clone().
Completable<T>	Extension interface that allows runtime checking whether all fields of a bean have been initialized, that is, are not null.
Freezable<T>	Extension interface that allows setting the status of a bean to immutable ("frozen") by preventing all further setter calls.
GsonSupport	Extension interface that makes IBeans serializable and deserializable with Gson.
Jackson2Support	Extension interface that makes IBeans serializable and deserializable with Jackson2.
LazyInit	Extension interface that supports with on-the-fly creation of nested IBeans.
LazyInitChild	Extension interface that supports with on-the-fly creation of nested IBeans.
LazyInitParent	Extension interface that supports with on-the-fly creation of nested IBeans.
ModificationAware	Extension interface that gives the possibility to check if a bean has been modified since creation or last reset of the modification flag (via ModificationAware.resetModified()).
ModificationAwareExt	Extends ModificationAware with functionality to determine which fields have been modified.
NullSafe	Marker extension interface that injects getter calls in a way that if a getter is called on a field with value null it throws an NullSafetyException.
TempFreezable<T>	Extension of the Freezable interface that gives the possibility to change a bean from an immutable (frozen) state back to a mutable state.

Class Summary

Class	Description
GsonSerializerDeserializerForIBeans	JSON serializer/deserializer used with Gson to convert IBeans with extension interface GsonSupport from and to JSON.
Jackson2ModuleForIBeans	Jackson2 configuration Module for IBean support.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
BeanFrozenException	Thrown from beans that are extended with Freezable interface when their status is frozen and a setter is called.
BeanIncompleteException	Thrown from beans that are extended with the Completable interface when calling Completable.assertComplete() in case the bean still has unset fields.
NullSafetyException	Thrown from getter methods from beans that extend NullSafe in case the value of the field is null.

Package org.coliper.ibean.extension Description

Contains all extension interfaces that are supported out of the box by IBean. An extension interface adds cross-cutting functionality to bean interfaces. Extension interfaces are enabled by adding them to the super-interface list of the bean type. For example, to add extension interfaces NullSafe and Freezable to bean type Customer they just need to be listed in the extended clause: public interface Customer extends NullSafe, Freezable { ... Developers can define their own extension interfaces. See ExtensionHandler for a description how to do this.
This package contains all built-in extension interfaces of the IBean framework.
