Class MappingJackson2XmlHttpMessageConverter

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.http.converter.AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Object>

org.resthub.web.converter.MappingJackson2XmlHttpMessageConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageConverter<Object>

public class MappingJackson2XmlHttpMessageConverter
extends org.springframework.http.converter.AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Object>

Implementation of HttpMessageConverter that can read and write JSON using Jackson 2's ObjectMapper.

This converter can be used to bind to typed beans, or untyped HashMap instances.

By default, this converter supports application/json. This can be overridden by setting the supportedMediaTypes property.

This converter also support custom JSON views, see RESThub documentation for more details

public MappingJackson2XmlHttpMessageConverter()

Construct a new BindingJacksonHttpMessageConverter.

Method Detail

setObjectMapper

public void setObjectMapper(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper objectMapper)

Set the ObjectMapper for this view. If not set, a default ObjectMapper is used.

Setting a custom-configured ObjectMapper is one way to take further control of the JSON serialization process. For example, an extended org.codehaus.jackson.map.SerializerFactory can be configured that provides custom serializers for specific types. The other option for refining the serialization process is to use Jackson's provided annotations on the types to be serialized, in which case a custom-configured ObjectMapper is unnecessary.

getObjectMapper

public com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper getObjectMapper()

Return the underlying ObjectMapper for this view.

setPrettyPrint

public void setPrettyPrint(boolean prettyPrint)

Whether to use the DefaultPrettyPrinter when writing XML. This is a shortcut for setting up an ObjectMapper as follows:

 ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
 mapper.configure(SerializationFeature.INDENT_OUTPUT, true);
 converter.setObjectMapper(mapper);
 

canRead

public boolean canRead(Class<?> clazz,
              org.springframework.http.MediaType mediaType)

Overrides:

canRead in class org.springframework.http.converter.AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Object>

canWrite

public boolean canWrite(Class<?> clazz,
               org.springframework.http.MediaType mediaType)

Specified by:

canWrite in interface org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageConverter<Object>

Overrides:

canWrite in class org.springframework.http.converter.AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Object>

supports

protected boolean supports(Class<?> clazz)

Specified by:

supports in class org.springframework.http.converter.AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Object>

readInternal

protected Object readInternal(Class<?> clazz,
                  org.springframework.http.HttpInputMessage inputMessage)
                       throws IOException,
                              org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException

Specified by:

readInternal in class org.springframework.http.converter.AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Object>

Throws:

IOException

org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException

writeInternal

protected void writeInternal(Object object,
                 org.springframework.http.HttpOutputMessage outputMessage)
                      throws IOException,
                             org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotWritableException

Specified by:

writeInternal in class org.springframework.http.converter.AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Object>

Throws:

IOException

org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotWritableException

getJavaType

protected com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JavaType getJavaType(Class<?> clazz)

Return the Jackson JavaType for the specified class.

The default implementation returns ObjectMapper.constructType(java.lang.reflect.Type), but this can be overridden in subclasses, to allow for custom generic collection handling. For instance:

 protected JavaType getJavaType(Class<?> clazz) {
     if (List.class.isAssignableFrom(clazz)) {
         return objectMapper.getTypeFactory().constructCollectionType(ArrayList.class, MyBean.class);
     } else {
         return super.getJavaType(clazz);
     }
 }
 

Parameters:

clazz - the class to return the java type for

Returns:

the java type

getJsonEncoding

protected com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonEncoding getJsonEncoding(org.springframework.http.MediaType contentType)

Determine the JSON encoding to use for the given content type.

Parameters:

contentType - the media type as requested by the caller

Returns:

the JSON encoding to use (never null)
