Class Jackson2ModuleForIBeans

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Versioned
    public class Jackson2ModuleForIBeans
extends Module
    Jackson2 configuration Module for IBean support. Needs to be configured in a Jackson2 ObjectMappers to enable JSON serialization and deserialization of IBeans. Three prerequisites need to be fulfilled so that an IBean can be converted to and from JSON with Jackson2:
    • Jackson2 version 2.6 or higher must be found on the classpath.
    • IBean must implement extension interface Jackson2Support.
    • ObjectMapper used for convertion needs to have Jackson2ModuleForIBeans added to its configuration.

    Following code snippets show an example usage:

     
     IBeanFactory factory = ...;
     // Interface BeanType needs to extend Jackson2Support
     BeanType someBean = factory.create(BeanType.class);
     ...
     
     // Configure Jackson ObjectMapper
     ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
     mapper.registerModule(new Jackson2ModuleForIBeans(factory));
     
     // Serialize to JSON and back
     String json = mapper.writeValueAsString(someBean);
     BeanType deserializedBean = mapper.readValue(json, BeanType.class);
