Class ObjectToOpenTypeConverter

java.lang.Object
org.jolokia.service.serializer.object.ObjectToOpenTypeConverter
All Implemented Interfaces:
Converter<OpenType<?>>
public class ObjectToOpenTypeConverter extends Object implements Converter<OpenType<?>>

Dedicated Converter which specifies target type as OpenType. It handles null values and delegates non-null values to one of four implementations of OpenTypeConverter for this fixed list of :

Delegation to OpenTypeConverter introduces some constraints on the type of values that can be converted.

  • SimpleTypeConverter handles simple types and it delegates (back) to generic ObjectToObjectConverter.
  • ArrayTypeConverter handles multidimensional arrays of objects, so the value being converted has to be a Collection or a String parsed using JSONParser into a JSONArray.
  • CompositeTypeConverter handles Map values (possibly parsed from strings into JSONObject) and converts them to CompositeData according to information specified in CompositeType.
  • TabularDataConverter handles TabularType
