public boolean isHandled(Annotation ann)
An annotation is handled if it's in the same package as @XmlElement, including subpackages.

Specified by:
isHandled in class AnnotationIntrospector
Parameters:
ann - The annotation.
Returns:
Whether the annotation is in the JAXB package.

findNamespace

public String findNamespace(Annotated ann)
Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
Method that can be called to figure out generic namespace property for an annotated object. Most commonly used for XML compatibility purposes (since currently only JAXB annotations provide namespace information), but theoretically is not limited to XML.

Specified by:
findNamespace in class AnnotationIntrospector
Returns:
Null if annotated thing does not define any namespace information; non-null namespace (which may be empty String) otherwise

findEnumValue

public String findEnumValue(Enum<?> e)

!!! 12-Oct-2009, tatu: This is hideously slow implementation, called potentially for every single enum value being serialized. Need to improve somehow

Specified by:
findEnumValue in class AnnotationIntrospector
Returns:
Serialized enum value.

findCachability

public Boolean findCachability(AnnotatedClass ac)
Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
Method that checks whether specified class has annotations that indicate that it is (or is not) cachable. Exact semantics depend on type of class annotated and using class (factory or provider).

Currently only used with deserializers, to determine whether provider should cache instances, and if no annotations are found, assumes non-cachable instances.

Specified by:
findCachability in class AnnotationIntrospector
Returns:
True, if class is considered cachable within context, False if not, and null if introspector does not care either way.

findFieldAutoDetection

Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
Method for checking whether there is a class annotation that indicates whether field auto detection should be enabled.

Specified by:
findFieldAutoDetection in class AnnotationIntrospector
Returns:
null if no relevant annotation is located; Boolean.TRUE if enabling annotation found, Boolean.FALSE if disabling annotation

findRootName

public String findRootName(AnnotatedClass ac)
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.

Specified by:
findRootName in class AnnotationIntrospector

findPropertiesToIgnore

Note that this method should ONLY return true for such explicit ignoral cases; and not if method just happens not to be visible for annotation processor.

Specified by:
isIgnorableMethod in class AnnotationIntrospector
Returns:
True, if an annotation is found to indicate that the method should be ignored; false if not.

findSerializationType

public Class<?> findSerializationType(Annotated a)
Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
Method for accessing annotated type definition that a method/field can have, to be used as the type for serialization instead of the runtime type. Type returned (if any) needs to be widening conversion (super-type). Declared return type of the method is also considered acceptable.

Specified by:
findSerializationType in class AnnotationIntrospector
Returns:
Class to use instead of runtime type

Returns:
JsonSerialize.Inclusion.NON_NULL

View matches are checked using class inheritance rules (sub-classes inherit inclusions of super-classes)

Specified by:
findSerializationViews in class AnnotationIntrospector
Parameters:
a - Annotated serializable property (field or getter method)

Specified by:
findGetterAutoDetection in class AnnotationIntrospector
Returns:
null if no relevant annotation is located; Boolean.TRUE if enabling annotation found, Boolean.FALSE if disabling annotation

findIsGetterAutoDetection

public Boolean findIsGetterAutoDetection(AnnotatedClass ac)
Description copied from class: AnnotationIntrospector
Method for checking whether there is a class annotation that indicates whether (regular) getter-method auto detection should be enabled. Getter methods are methods with name "getXxx()" (for property "xxx"); "isXxx()" are not included (instead those are considered "is getters")
