Method Detail

canRead

public boolean canRead(java.lang.Class<?> clazz,
                       @Nullable
                       MediaType mediaType)

Always returns false since Jaxb2CollectionHttpMessageConverter required generic type information in order to read a Collection.

Specified by:

canRead in interface HttpMessageConverter<T extends java.util.Collection>

Overrides:

canRead in class AbstractHttpMessageConverter<T extends java.util.Collection>

Parameters:

clazz - the class to test for readability

mediaType - the media type to read (can be null if not specified); typically the value of a Content-Type header.

Returns:

true if readable; false otherwise

canRead

public boolean canRead(java.lang.reflect.Type type,
                       @Nullable
                       java.lang.Class<?> contextClass,
                       @Nullable
                       MediaType mediaType)

Indicates whether the given type can be read by this converter. This method should perform the same checks than HttpMessageConverter.canRead(Class, MediaType) with additional ones related to the generic type.

Jaxb2CollectionHttpMessageConverter can read a generic Collection where the generic type is a JAXB type annotated with XmlRootElement or XmlType.

Specified by:

canRead in interface GenericHttpMessageConverter<T extends java.util.Collection>

Parameters:

type - the (potentially generic) type to test for readability

contextClass - a context class for the target type, for example a class in which the target type appears in a method signature (can be null)

mediaType - the media type to read, can be null if not specified. Typically the value of a Content-Type header.

Returns:

true if readable; false otherwise

canWrite

public boolean canWrite(java.lang.Class<?> clazz,
                        @Nullable
                        MediaType mediaType)

Always returns false since Jaxb2CollectionHttpMessageConverter does not convert collections to XML.

Specified by:

canWrite in interface HttpMessageConverter<T extends java.util.Collection>

Overrides:

canWrite in class AbstractHttpMessageConverter<T extends java.util.Collection>

Parameters:

clazz - the class to test for writability

mediaType - the media type to write (can be null if not specified); typically the value of an Accept header.

Returns:

true if writable; false otherwise

canWrite

public boolean canWrite(@Nullable
                        java.lang.reflect.Type type,
                        @Nullable
                        java.lang.Class<?> clazz,
                        @Nullable
                        MediaType mediaType)

Always returns false since Jaxb2CollectionHttpMessageConverter does not convert collections to XML.

Specified by:

canWrite in interface GenericHttpMessageConverter<T extends java.util.Collection>

Parameters:

type - the (potentially generic) type to test for writability (can be null if not specified)

clazz - the source object class to test for writability

mediaType - the media type to write (can be null if not specified); typically the value of an Accept header.

Returns:

true if writable; false otherwise

protected boolean supports(java.lang.Class<?> clazz)

Description copied from class: AbstractHttpMessageConverter

Indicates whether the given class is supported by this converter.

Specified by:

createXmlInputFactory

protected javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory createXmlInputFactory()

Create an XMLInputFactory that this converter will use to create XMLStreamReader and XMLEventReader objects.

Can be overridden in subclasses, adding further initialization of the factory. The resulting factory is cached, so this method will only be called once.
