org.javers.core.metamodel.type.CustomType<T>

public class CustomType<T>
extends JaversType

Custom Type in client's domain model.

JaVers treats a Custom Type as a black box and doesn't take any assumptions about its content or behaviour. It's a "not modeled" type, somehow similar to unbounded wildcard <?>.

Objects of Custom Type are compared by a CustomPropertyComparator, and registering this comparator (see JaversBuilder.registerCustomComparator(CustomPropertyComparator, Class) is the only way to map a Custom Type.

Custom Types are serialized to JSON using Gson defaults.

                  CustomPropertyComparator<T,?> comparator)

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object left,
                      java.lang.Object right)

Description copied from class: JaversType

Used for comparing as Values

Overrides:

equals in class JaversType

canBePrototype

public boolean canBePrototype()

Specified by:

canBePrototype in class JaversType

isInstance

public boolean isInstance(java.lang.Object cdo)

Specified by:

isInstance in class JaversType

getRawDehydratedType

protected java.lang.reflect.Type getRawDehydratedType()

Type for JSON representation. For Values it's simply baseJavaType. For ManagedTypes (references to Entities and ValueObjects) it's GlobalId because JaVers serializes references in the 'dehydrated' form.

getBaseJavaClass

public java.lang.Class getBaseJavaClass()
