encodeType

public static String encodeType(Class<?> cls,
                                JodaBeanSer settings,
                                String basePackage,
                                Map<Class<?>,String> knownTypes)

Encodes a basic class.

This handles known simple types, like String, Integer or File, and prefixing. It also allows a map of message specific shorter forms.

Parameters:

cls - the class to encode, not null

settings - the settings object, not null

basePackage - the base package to use with trailing dot, null if none

knownTypes - the known types map, null if not using known type shortening

Returns:

the class object, null if not a basic type

decodeType

public static Class<?> decodeType(String className,
                                  JodaBeanSer settings,
                                  String basePackage,
                                  Map<String,Class<?>> knownTypes)
                           throws ClassNotFoundException

Decodes a class.

This uses the context class loader. This handles known simple types, like String, Integer or File, and prefixing. It also allows a map of message specific shorter forms.

Parameters:

className - the class name, not null

settings - the settings object, not null

basePackage - the base package to use with trailing dot, null if none

knownTypes - the known types map, null if not using known type shortening

Returns:

the class object, not null

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - if not found

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
