Class AbstractMessageConverter

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.messaging.converter.AbstractMessageConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

MessageConverter

Direct Known Subclasses:

ByteArrayMessageConverter, MappingJackson2MessageConverter, StringMessageConverter

public abstract class AbstractMessageConverter
extends Object
implements MessageConverter

Abstract base class for MessageConverter implementations including support for common properties and a partial implementation of the conversion methods mainly to check if the converter supports the conversion based on the payload class and MIME type.

Constructor Detail

AbstractMessageConverter

protected AbstractMessageConverter(MimeType supportedMimeType)

Construct an AbstractMessageConverter with one supported MIME type.

Parameters:

supportedMimeType - the supported MIME type

AbstractMessageConverter

protected AbstractMessageConverter(Collection<MimeType> supportedMimeTypes)

Construct an AbstractMessageConverter with multiple supported MIME type.

Parameters:

supportedMimeTypes - the supported MIME types

Method Detail

getSupportedMimeTypes

public List<MimeType> getSupportedMimeTypes()

Return the configured supported MIME types.

setContentTypeResolver

public void setContentTypeResolver(ContentTypeResolver resolver)

Configure the ContentTypeResolver to use.

The default value is null. However when CompositeMessageConverter is used it configures all of its delegates with a default resolver.

getContentTypeResolver

public ContentTypeResolver getContentTypeResolver()

Return the default ContentTypeResolver.

setSerializedPayloadClass

public void setSerializedPayloadClass(Class<?> payloadClass)

Configure the preferred serialization class to use (byte[] or String) when converting an Object payload to a Message.

The default value is byte[].

Parameters:

payloadClass - either byte[] or String

getSerializedPayloadClass

public Class<?> getSerializedPayloadClass()

Return the configured preferred serialization payload class.

getDefaultContentType

protected MimeType getDefaultContentType(Object payload)

Returns the default content type for the payload. Called when toMessage(Object, MessageHeaders) is invoked without message headers or without a content type header.

By default, this returns the first element of the supportedMimeTypes, if any. Can be overridden in sub-classes.

Parameters:

payload - the payload being converted to message

Returns:

the content type, or null if not known

supports

protected abstract boolean supports(Class<?> clazz)

Whether the given class is supported by this converter.

Parameters:

clazz - the class to test for support

Returns:

true if supported; false otherwise

fromMessage

public final Object fromMessage(Message<?> message,
                                Class<?> targetClass)

Description copied from interface: MessageConverter

Convert the payload of a Message from serialized form to a typed Object of the specified target class. The MessageHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE header should indicate the MIME type to convert from.

If the converter does not support the specified media type or cannot perform the conversion, it should return null.

Specified by:

fromMessage in interface MessageConverter

Parameters:

message - the input message

targetClass - the target class for the conversion

Returns:

the result of the conversion or null if the converter cannot perform the conversion

canConvertFrom

protected boolean canConvertFrom(Message<?> message,
                                 Class<?> targetClass)

convertFromInternal

public abstract Object convertFromInternal(Message<?> message,
                                           Class<?> targetClass)

Convert the message payload from serialized form to an Object.

toMessage

public final Message<?> toMessage(Object payload,
                                  MessageHeaders headers)

Description copied from interface: MessageConverter

Create a Message whose payload is the result of converting the given payload Object to serialized form. The optional MessageHeaders parameter may contain a MessageHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE header to specify the target media type for the conversion and it may contain additional headers to be added to the message.

If the converter does not support the specified media type or cannot perform the conversion, it should return null.

Specified by:

toMessage in interface MessageConverter

Parameters:

payload - the Object to convert

headers - optional headers for the message, may be null

Returns:

the new message or null if the converter does not support the Object type or the target media type

canConvertTo

protected boolean canConvertTo(Object payload,
                               MessageHeaders headers)

convertToInternal

public abstract Object convertToInternal(Object payload,
                                         MessageHeaders headers)

Convert the payload object to serialized form.

supportsMimeType

protected boolean supportsMimeType(MessageHeaders headers)

getMimeType

protected MimeType getMimeType(MessageHeaders headers)
