Class JSONConverter<T>

java.lang.Object

com.basho.riak.client.convert.JSONConverter<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Converter<T>

public class JSONConverter<T>
extends Object
implements Converter<T>

Converts a RiakObject's value to an instance of T. T must have a field annotated with RiakKey or you must construct the converter with a key to use. RiakObject's value *must* be a JSON string.

At present user meta data and RiakLinks are not converted. This means they are essentially lost in translation.

Constructor Detail

JSONConverter

public JSONConverter(Class<T> clazz,
             String bucket)

b - the bucket

JSONConverter

public JSONConverter(Class<T> clazz,
             String bucket,
             String defaultKey)

clazz - the type to convert to/from

bucket - the bucket

defaultKey - for cases where clazz does not have a RiakKey annotated field, pass the key to use in this conversion.

Method Detail

fromDomain

public IRiakObject fromDomain(T domainObject,
                     VClock vclock)
                       throws ConversionException

Converts domainObject to a JSON string and sets that as the payload of a IRiakObject. Also set the content-type to application/json;charset=UTF-8

Specified by:

fromDomain in interface Converter<T>

Parameters:

domainObject - to be converted

vclock - the vector clock from Riak

Returns:

a RiakObject populated from domainObject

Throws:

ConversionException

toDomain

public T toDomain(IRiakObject riakObject)
           throws ConversionException

Converts the value of riakObject to an instance of T.

Beware: at present links and user meta are not converted at present: this is on the way.

Specified by:

toDomain in interface Converter<T>

Parameters:

riakObject - the IRiakObject to convert to instance of T. NOTE: riakObject.getValue() must be a JSON string. The charset from riakObject.getContentType() is used.

Returns:

an instance of type T

Throws:

ConversionException

getObjectMapper

public org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper getObjectMapper()
