Class JacksonObjectMapperFactoryBean

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.http.converter.json.JacksonObjectMapperFactoryBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

FactoryBean<ObjectMapper>, InitializingBean

public class JacksonObjectMapperFactoryBean
extends java.lang.Object
implements FactoryBean<ObjectMapper>, InitializingBean

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

Example usage with MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter:

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

Example usage with MappingJacksonJsonView:

 <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.json.MappingJacksonJsonView">
        <property name="objectMapper">
                <bean class="org.springframework.web.context.support.JacksonObjectMapperFactoryBean"
                        p:autoDetectFields="false"
                        p:autoDetectGettersSetters="false"
                        p:annotationIntrospector-ref="jaxbAnnotationIntrospector" />
        </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.JacksonObjectMapperFactoryBean">
        <property name="featuresToEnable">
                <array>
                        <util:constant static-field="org.codehaus.jackson.map.SerializationConfig$Feature.WRAP_ROOT_VALUE"/>
                        <util:constant static-field="org.codehaus.jackson.map.SerializationConfig$Feature.CLOSE_CLOSEABLE"/>
                </array>
        </property>
        <property name="featuresToDisable">
                <array>
                        <util:constant static-field="org.codehaus.jackson.map.DeserializationConfig$Feature.USE_ANNOTATIONS"/>
                </array>
        </property>
 </bean>

Method Detail

setObjectMapper

public void setObjectMapper(ObjectMapper objectMapper)

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

setDateFormat

public void setDateFormat(java.text.DateFormat dateFormat)

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

Note: Setting this property makes the exposed ObjectMapper non-thread-safe, according to Jackson's thread safety rules.

See Also:

setSimpleDateFormat(String)

setSimpleDateFormat

public void setSimpleDateFormat(java.lang.String format)

Define the date/time format with a SimpleDateFormat.

Note: Setting this property makes the exposed ObjectMapper non-thread-safe, according to Jackson's thread safety rules.

setDateFormat(DateFormat)

setAnnotationIntrospector

public void setAnnotationIntrospector(AnnotationIntrospector annotationIntrospector)

Set the AnnotationIntrospector for serialization and deserialization.

setAutoDetectFields

public void setAutoDetectFields(boolean autoDetectFields)

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()

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

configureFeature

private void configureFeature(java.lang.Object feature,
                              boolean enabled)

getObject

public ObjectMapper getObject()

Return the singleton ObjectMapper.

Specified by:

getObject in interface FactoryBean<ObjectMapper>

Returns:

an instance of the bean (can be null)

See Also:

FactoryBeanNotInitializedException

getObjectType

public java.lang.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<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<ObjectMapper>

Returns:

whether the exposed object is a singleton
