All Implemented Interfaces:
Versioned, AnnotationIntrospector.XmlExtensions, Serializable
public class JakartaXmlBindAnnotationIntrospector extends AnnotationIntrospector implements AnnotationIntrospector.XmlExtensions, Versioned
Annotation introspector that uses Jakarta Xml Bind annotations (nee "JAXB" Annotations") where applicable for jackson-databind to use. As of Jackson 2.x, majority of XmlBind annotations are supported to some degree. Ones that are NOT yet supported are:
  • XmlAnyAttribute not supported; possible (if unlikely) to be used (as an alias for @JsonAnySetter)
  • XmlAnyElement not supported; unlikely to ever be supported.
  • XmlAttachmentRef: JSON does not support external attachments
  • XmlElementDecl
  • XmlElementRefs because Jackson doesn't have any support for 'named' collection items
  • XmlInlineBinaryData since the underlying concepts (like XOP) do not exist in JSON -- Jackson will always use inline base64 encoding as the method
  • XmlList because JSON does not have (or necessarily need) method of serializing list of values as space-separated Strings
  • XmlMimeType
  • XmlMixed since JSON has no concept of mixed content
  • XmlRegistry not supported, unlikely to ever be.
  • XmlSchema not supported, unlikely to ever be.
  • XmlSchemaType not supported, unlikely to ever be.
  • XmlSchemaTypes not supported, unlikely to ever be.
  • XmlSeeAlso not supported.
Note also the following limitations:
  • Any property annotated with XmlValue will have implicit property named 'value' on its JSON object; although it should be possible to override this name

      Method that will return version information stored in and read from jar that contains this class.

      Accessor for getting currently configured placeholder named used for property annotated with XmlValue.

      Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
      Method for locating name used as "root name" (for use by some serializers when outputting root-level object -- mostly for XML compatibility purposes) for given class, if one is defined. Returns null if no declaration found; can return explicit empty String, which is usually ignored as well as null.

    • findWrapperName

      public PropertyName findWrapperName(Annotated ann)
      Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
      Method used to check if specified property has annotation that indicates that it should be wrapped in an element; and if so, name to use. Note that not all serializers and deserializers support use this method: currently (2.1) it is only used by XML-backed handlers.

      Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
      Method for finding implicit name for a property that given annotated member (field, method, creator parameter) may represent. This is different from explicit, annotation-based property name, in that it is "weak" and does not either proof that a property exists (for example, if visibility is not high enough), or override explicit names. In practice this method is used to introspect optional names for creator parameters (which may or may not be available and cannot be detected by standard databind); or to provide alternate name mangling for fields, getters and/or setters.
      Overrides:
      findImplicitPropertyName in class AnnotationIntrospector

    • findFormat

      public JsonFormat.Value findFormat(Annotated m)
      Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector

      Overrides:
      findFormat in class AnnotationIntrospector

    • findAutoDetectVisibility

      public VisibilityChecker<?> findAutoDetectVisibility(AnnotatedClass ac, VisibilityChecker<?> checker)
      Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
      Method for checking if annotations indicate changes to minimum visibility levels needed for auto-detecting property elements (fields, methods, constructors). A baseline checker is given, and introspector is to either return it as is (if no annotations are found), or build and return a derived instance (using checker's build methods).
      Overrides:
      findAutoDetectVisibility in class AnnotationIntrospector
      Parameters:
      ac - Annotated class to introspect
      checker - Default visibility settings in effect before any override
      Returns:

    • findAccessType

      protected XmlAccessType findAccessType(Annotated ac)

      public JsonInclude.Value findPropertyInclusion(Annotated a)
      Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
      Method for checking inclusion criteria for a type (Class) or property (yes, method name is bit unfortunate -- not just for properties!). In case of class, acts as the default for properties POJO contains; for properties acts as override for class defaults and possible global defaults.

    • findSerializationConverter

      public Object findSerializationConverter(Annotated a)
      Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
      Method for finding Converter that annotated entity (property or class) has indicated to be used as part of serialization. If not null, either has to be actual Converter instance, or class for such converter; and resulting converter will be used first to convert property value to converter target type, and then serializer for that type is used for actual serialization.

      This feature is typically used to convert internal values into types that Jackson can convert.

      Note also that this feature does not necessarily work well with polymorphic type handling, or object identity handling; if such features are needed an explicit serializer is usually better way to handle serialization.

      Overrides:
      findSerializationConverter in class AnnotationIntrospector
      Parameters:
      a - Annotated property (field, method) or class to check for annotations

    • findSerializationContentConverter

      public Object findSerializationContentConverter(AnnotatedMember a)
      Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
      Method for finding Converter that annotated property has indicated needs to be used for values of container type (this also means that method should only be called for properties of container types, List/Map/array properties).

      If not null, either has to be actual Converter instance, or class for such converter; and resulting converter will be used first to convert property value to converter target type, and then serializer for that type is used for actual serialization.

      Other notes are same as those for AnnotationIntrospector.findSerializationConverter(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.introspect.Annotated)

      Overrides:
      findSerializationContentConverter in class AnnotationIntrospector

      Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
      Method for finding Converter that annotated entity (property or class) has indicated to be used as part of deserialization. If not null, either has to be actual Converter instance, or class for such converter; and resulting converter will be used after Jackson has deserializer data into intermediate type (Converter input type), and Converter needs to convert this into its target type to be set as property value.

      This feature is typically used to convert intermediate Jackson types (that default deserializers can produce) into custom type instances.

      Note also that this feature does not necessarily work well with polymorphic type handling, or object identity handling; if such features are needed an explicit deserializer is usually better way to handle deserialization.

      Overrides:
      findDeserializationConverter in class AnnotationIntrospector
      Parameters:
      a - Annotated property (field, method) or class to check for annotations

    • findDeserializationContentConverter

      public Object findDeserializationContentConverter(AnnotatedMember a)
      Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
      Method for finding Converter that annotated property has indicated needs to be used for values of container type (this also means that method should only be called for properties of container types, List/Map/array properties).

      If not null, either has to be actual Converter instance, or class for such converter; and resulting converter will be used after Jackson has deserializer data into intermediate type (Converter input type), and Converter needs to convert this into its target type to be set as property value.

      Other notes are same as those for AnnotationIntrospector.findDeserializationConverter(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.introspect.Annotated)

      Overrides:
      findDeserializationContentConverter in class AnnotationIntrospector
      Parameters:
      a - Annotated property (field, method) to check.
