Interface SerializationContextInitializer

All Known Subinterfaces:

GeneratedSchema

public interface SerializationContextInitializer

An interface to be used in conjunction with the AutoProtoSchemaBuilder annotation. By creating an abstract class implementing this interface or an interface extending it and annotating it with AutoProtoSchemaBuilder the compiler (via a custom annotation processor) will generate a concrete implementation for you to use. The implementation will provide a single schema file that is generated based on the annotations and also marshallers for all the contained types.

You can also use the sub-interface GeneratedSchema instead, which provides methods to access the generated schema file.

Manually written implementations of these interfaces are allowed, but are of no special use with regard to ProtoStream library.

This mechanism is very similar to ProtoSchemaBuilder which works using bytecode generation at runtime instead of compile time.

NOTE: Methods getProtoFileName() and getProtoFile() will be removed from this interface in ver. 5 but will continue to exist in GeneratedSchema, which extends this interface.

Since:

4.3

void	registerSchema(SerializationContext serCtx)	Registers schema files to the given SerializationContext.

Method Detail

getProtoFileName

@Deprecated
String getProtoFileName()

Deprecated.

in 4.3.4, to be removed in 5. The method was moved and will continue to exist starting with ver. 5 as GeneratedSchema.getProtoFileName(). See IPROTO-154.

Returns the name of the proto file (which is allowed to contain slashes, so it could look like a path).

getProtoFile

@Deprecated
String getProtoFile()
             throws UncheckedIOException

Deprecated.

in 4.3.4, to be removed in 5. The method was moved and will continue to exist starting with ver. 5 as GeneratedSchema.getProtoFile(). See IPROTO-154.

Returns the contents of the proto file as a String. The returned value must be guaranteed to be the same (equals) on each invocation. Implementations can return a constant or a value stored in memory but they are generally free to also retrieve it from somewhere else, including the classpath, the disk, or even a mechanism that can potentially fail with an UncheckedIOException.

Throws:

UncheckedIOException - if the file contents cannot be retrieved

registerSchema

void registerSchema(SerializationContext serCtx)

Registers schema files to the given SerializationContext. This is always invoked before registerMarshallers(org.infinispan.protostream.SerializationContext).

registerMarshallers

void registerMarshallers(SerializationContext serCtx)

Registers marshallers to the given SerializationContext.This is always invoked after registerSchema(org.infinispan.protostream.SerializationContext).
