static FieldDiscoverer<?>	emptyConstructorObject()	Create a new discoverer for object instance fields.
static FieldDiscoverer<?>	object(CheckedFunction<AnnotatedType,@Nullable Supplier<Object>,SerializationException> instanceFactory)	Create a new discoverer for object instance fields.
static FieldDiscoverer<?>	object(CheckedFunction<AnnotatedType,@Nullable Supplier<Object>,SerializationException> instanceFactory, String instanceUnavailableErrorMessage)	Create a new discoverer for object instance fields.
static FieldDiscoverer<?>	record()	Create a new field discoverer that will handle record classes.

Method Detail

record

static FieldDiscoverer<?> record()

Create a new field discoverer that will handle record classes.

This discoverer will use the record's canonical constructor to create new instances, passing null for any missing parameters. The accessor methods for each record component will be used to read values from the record.

Returns:

new discoverer

Since:

4.0.0

object

static FieldDiscoverer<?> object(CheckedFunction<AnnotatedType,@Nullable Supplier<Object>,SerializationException> instanceFactory)

Create a new discoverer for object instance fields.

This discoverer will process any non-static and non-transient field in the object. Modifying final fields is unsupported and may stop working with newer Java versions.

Parameters:

instanceFactory - a factory for instance providers

Returns:

new discoverer

Since:

4.0.0

object

static FieldDiscoverer<?> object(CheckedFunction<AnnotatedType,@Nullable Supplier<Object>,SerializationException> instanceFactory,
                                 String instanceUnavailableErrorMessage)

Create a new discoverer for object instance fields.

This discoverer will process any non-static and non-transient field in the object. Modifying final fields is unsupported and may stop working with newer Java versions.

Parameters:

instanceFactory - a factory for instance providers

instanceUnavailableErrorMessage - a message that will be part of the exception thrown when trying to create instances for an unsupported type

Returns:

new discoverer

Since:

4.1.0

emptyConstructorObject

static FieldDiscoverer<?> emptyConstructorObject()

Create a new discoverer for object instance fields.

Only objects with empty constructors can be created.

Returns:

new discoverer

Since:

4.0.0

discover

<V> @Nullable FieldDiscoverer.InstanceFactory<I> discover(AnnotatedType target,
                                                          FieldDiscoverer.FieldCollector<I,V> collector)
                                                   throws SerializationException

Inspect the target type for fields to be supplied to the collector.

If the target type is handleable, a non-null value must be returned. Fields can only be collected from one source at the moment, so if the instance factory is null any discovered fields will be discarded.

Type Parameters:

V - object type

Parameters:

target - type to inspect

collector - collector for discovered fields.

Returns:

a factory for handling the construction of object instances, or null if target is not of a handleable type.

Throws:

SerializationException - if any fields have invalid data

Since:

4.0.0
