Method Detail

getType

public Class getType()

Type for which this extractor can objects of this type

Specified by:

getType in interface Extractor

Returns:

type which can be handled

extractObject

public Object extractObject(ObjectToJsonConverter pConverter,
                   Object pValue,
                   Stack<String> pPathParts,
                   boolean jsonify)
                     throws AttributeNotFoundException

Extract an object from pValue. In the simplest case, this is the value itself. For more complex data types, it is converted into a JSON structure if possible (and if 'jsonify' is true). pExtraArgs is not null, this returns only a substructure, specified by the path represented by this stack

Specified by:

extractObject in interface Extractor

Parameters:

pConverter - the global converter in order to be able do dispatch for serializing inner data types

pValue - the value to convert

pPathParts - extra arguments which contain e.g. a path

jsonify - whether to convert to a JSON object/list or whether the plain object should be returned. The later is required for writing an inner value

Returns:

the extracted object

Throws:

AttributeNotFoundException - if the inner path does not exist.

setObjectValue

public Object setObjectValue(StringToObjectConverter pConverter,
                    Object pInner,
                    String pAttribute,
                    Object pValue)
                      throws IllegalAccessException,
                             InvocationTargetException

If this extractor is able to set a value (see Extractor.canSetValue()), this method sets the value even on an inner object

Specified by:

setObjectValue in interface Extractor

Parameters:

pConverter - the global converter in order to be able do dispatch for serializing inner data types

pInner - object on which to set the value

pAttribute - attribute of the object to set

pValue - the new value to set

Returns:

the old value

Throws:

IllegalAccessException - if the attribute to set to is not accessible

InvocationTargetException - reflection error

canSetValue

public boolean canSetValue()

Whether this extractor is able to set a value.

Specified by:

canSetValue in interface Extractor

Returns:

true if this extractor can set a value, false otherwise.
