Class Jackson2ObjectMapperFactoryBean

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.http.converter.json.Jackson2ObjectMapperFactoryBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

FactoryBean<com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper>, InitializingBean

public class Jackson2ObjectMapperFactoryBean
extends Object
implements FactoryBean<com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper>, InitializingBean

A FactoryBean for creating a Jackson ObjectMapper with setters to enable or disable Jackson features from within XML configuration.

Example usage with MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter:

 <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter">
   <property name="objectMapper">
     <bean class="org.springframework.web.context.support.Jackson2ObjectMapperFactoryBean"
       p:autoDetectFields="false"
       p:autoDetectGettersSetters="false"
       p:annotationIntrospector-ref="jaxbAnnotationIntrospector" />
   </property>
 </bean>
 

Example usage with MappingJackson2JsonView:

 <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.json.MappingJackson2JsonView">
   <property name="objectMapper">
     <bean class="org.springframework.web.context.support.Jackson2ObjectMapperFactoryBean"
       p:failOnEmptyBeans="false"
       p:indentOutput="true">
       <property name="serializers">
         <array>
           <bean class="org.mycompany.MyCustomSerializer" />
         </array>
       </property>
     </bean>
   </property>
 </bean>
 

In case there are no specific setters provided (for some rarely used options), you can still use the more general methods setFeaturesToEnable(Object[]) and setFeaturesToDisable(Object[]).

 <bean class="org.springframework.web.context.support.Jackson2ObjectMapperFactoryBean">
   <property name="featuresToEnable">
     <array>
       <util:constant static-field="com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializationFeature$WRAP_ROOT_VALUE"/>
       <util:constant static-field="com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializationFeature$CLOSE_CLOSEABLE"/>
     </array>
   </property>
   <property name="featuresToDisable">
     <array>
       <util:constant static-field="com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.MapperFeature$USE_ANNOTATIONS"/>
     </array>
   </property>
 </bean>
 

Note: This BeanFctory is singleton, so if you need more than one you'll need to configure multiple instances.

Jackson2ObjectMapperFactoryBean

public Jackson2ObjectMapperFactoryBean()

Method Detail

setObjectMapper

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

Set the ObjectMapper instance to use. If not set, the ObjectMapper will be created using its default constructor.

setDateFormat

public void setDateFormat(DateFormat dateFormat)

Define the format for date/time with the given DateFormat.

See Also:

setSimpleDateFormat(String)

setSimpleDateFormat

public void setSimpleDateFormat(String format)

Define the date/time format with a SimpleDateFormat.

See Also:

setDateFormat(DateFormat)

setAnnotationIntrospector

public void setAnnotationIntrospector(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.AnnotationIntrospector annotationIntrospector)

Set the AnnotationIntrospector for both serialization and deserialization.

setSerializers

public void setSerializers(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonSerializer<?>... serializers)

Configure custom serializers. Each serializer is registered for the type returned by JsonSerializer.handledType(), which must not be null.

See Also:

setSerializersByType(Map)

setSerializersByType

public void setSerializersByType(Map<Class<?>,com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonSerializer<?>> serializers)

Configure custom serializers for the given types.

See Also:

setSerializers(JsonSerializer...)

setDeserializersByType

public void setDeserializersByType(Map<Class<?>,com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonDeserializer<?>> deserializers)

Configure custom deserializers for the given types.

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()
                        throws FatalBeanException

Description copied from interface: InitializingBean

Invoked by a BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties supplied (and satisfied BeanFactoryAware and ApplicationContextAware).

This method allows the bean instance to perform initialization only possible when all bean properties have been set and to throw an exception in the event of misconfiguration.

Specified by:

afterPropertiesSet in interface InitializingBean

Throws:

FatalBeanException

getObject

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

Return the singleton ObjectMapper.

Specified by:

getObject in interface FactoryBean<com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper>

Returns:

an instance of the bean (can be null)

See Also:

FactoryBeanNotInitializedException

getObjectType

public Class<?> getObjectType()

Description copied from interface: FactoryBean

Return the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or null if not known in advance.

This allows one to check for specific types of beans without instantiating objects, for example on autowiring.

In the case of implementations that are creating a singleton object, this method should try to avoid singleton creation as far as possible; it should rather estimate the type in advance. For prototypes, returning a meaningful type here is advisable too.

This method can be called before this FactoryBean has been fully initialized. It must not rely on state created during initialization; of course, it can still use such state if available.

NOTE: Autowiring will simply ignore FactoryBeans that return null here. Therefore it is highly recommended to implement this method properly, using the current state of the FactoryBean.

Specified by:

getObjectType in interface FactoryBean<com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper>

Returns:

the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or null if not known at the time of the call

See Also:

ListableBeanFactory.getBeansOfType(java.lang.Class<T>)

isSingleton

public boolean isSingleton()

Description copied from interface: FactoryBean

Is the object managed by this factory a singleton? That is, will FactoryBean.getObject() always return the same object (a reference that can be cached)?

NOTE: If a FactoryBean indicates to hold a singleton object, the object returned from getObject() might get cached by the owning BeanFactory. Hence, do not return true unless the FactoryBean always exposes the same reference.

The singleton status of the FactoryBean itself will generally be provided by the owning BeanFactory; usually, it has to be defined as singleton there.

NOTE: This method returning false does not necessarily indicate that returned objects are independent instances. An implementation of the extended SmartFactoryBean interface may explicitly indicate independent instances through its SmartFactoryBean.isPrototype() method. Plain FactoryBean implementations which do not implement this extended interface are simply assumed to always return independent instances if the isSingleton() implementation returns false.

Specified by:

isSingleton in interface FactoryBean<com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper>

Returns:

whether the exposed object is a singleton

FactoryBean.getObject(), SmartFactoryBean.isPrototype()
