public DataModelObject initialize(java.lang.Class<? extends DataModelObject> definitionType)
                           throws java.lang.ReflectiveOperationException

Create an initial (default) instance for this serializer.

this will create a new record of the given type and initialize its fields with the default values.

Specified by:

initialize in class JavaTypeSerializer<DataModelObject>

Parameters:

definitionType - The type as it appears at the parameter's definition.

Returns:

null for immutable types, a Java native value for native types or a new instance, for mutable types.

Throws:

java.lang.ReflectiveOperationException

java.lang.InstantiationException

java.lang.IllegalAccessException

fromJson

public DataModelObject fromJson(DataModelObject arg,
                                java.lang.String sval)
                         throws RequestArgumentError

Parse the string JSON representation and assign it to the given argument. The DMO argument will be populated with the fields as read from the JSON object - the keys are always the legacy field names, case-sensitive.

Specified by:

fromJson in class JavaTypeSerializer<DataModelObject>

Parameters:

arg - The argument (obtained via initialize(java.lang.Class<? extends com.goldencode.p2j.persist.DataModelObject>).

sval - The string JSON representation of this argument.

Returns:

The argument instance.

Throws:

RequestArgumentError - If the argument can't be parsed.

toJson

public com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode toJson(DataModelObject val)

The JSON object will have as keys the record's legacy field names, case-sensitive.

Specified by:

toJson in class JavaTypeSerializer<DataModelObject>

Parameters:

val - The instance to serialize.
