@Deprecated
public class MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter
extends AbstractHttpMessageConverter<java.lang.Object>
implements GenericHttpMessageConverter<java.lang.Object>

Implementation of HttpMessageConverter that can read and write JSON using Jackson 1.x'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.

Since:

1.0

Field Detail

DEFAULT_CHARSET

public static final java.nio.charset.Charset DEFAULT_CHARSET

Deprecated.

Constructor Detail

MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter

public MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter()

Deprecated.

Construct a new MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter.

Method Detail

setObjectMapper

public void setObjectMapper(ObjectMapper objectMapper)

Deprecated.

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 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 ObjectMapper getObjectMapper()

Deprecated.

Return the underlying ObjectMapper for this view.

setJsonPrefix

public void setJsonPrefix(java.lang.String jsonPrefix)

Deprecated.

Specify a custom prefix to use for this view's JSON output. Default is none.

See Also:

setPrefixJson(boolean)

setPrefixJson

public void setPrefixJson(boolean prefixJson)

Deprecated.

Indicate whether the JSON output by this view should be prefixed with "{} &&". Default is false.

Prefixing the JSON string in this manner is used to help prevent JSON Hijacking. The prefix renders the string syntactically invalid as a script so that it cannot be hijacked. This prefix does not affect the evaluation of JSON, but if JSON validation is performed on the string, the prefix would need to be ignored.

See Also:

setJsonPrefix(java.lang.String)

setPrettyPrint

public void setPrettyPrint(boolean prettyPrint)

Deprecated.

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

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

The default value is false.

Deprecated.

Return the Jackson JavaType for the specified type and context class.

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

 protected JavaType getJavaType(Type type) {
   if (type instanceof Class && List.class.isAssignableFrom((Class)type)) {
     return TypeFactory.collectionType(ArrayList.class, MyBean.class);
