  • Method Details

    • newInstance

      public T newInstance(Class<?> c, JsonObject jObj, Resolver resolver)
      Description copied from interface: JsonReader.ClassFactory
      Implement this method to return a new instance of the passed in Class. Use the passed in JsonObject to supply values to the construction of the object.
      Specified by:
      newInstance in interface JsonReader.ClassFactory
      Parameters:
      c - Class of the object that needs to be created
      jObj - JsonObject (if primitive type do jObj.getPrimitiveValue();
      resolver - Resolve instance that has references to ID Map, Converter, ReadOptions
      Returns:
      a new instance of C. If you completely fill the new instance using the value(s) from object, and no further work is needed for construction, then override the isObjectFinal() method below and return true.

    • getType

      public Class<? extends T> getType()

    • isObjectFinal

      public boolean isObjectFinal()
      It is expected that ConvertableFactory instances complete both instantiation of the class, and loadind og the instance data from JSON in the factory. If they do not, then override this and return false. If you go that route, you would also need to write a custom reader to load later. Not sure why anyone would choose to go that route.
      Specified by:
      isObjectFinal in interface JsonReader.ClassFactory
      Returns:
      true if this object is instantiated and completely filled using the contents from the Object [a JsonObject or value]. In this case, no further processing will be performed on the instance. If the object has sub-objects (complex fields), then return false so that the JsonReader will continue on filling out the remaining portion of the object.
