Class MappingJacksonMessageConverter

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.jms.support.converter.MappingJacksonMessageConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:
  MessageConverter

    public class MappingJacksonMessageConverter

extends Object
implements MessageConverter

Message converter that uses the Jackson library to convert messages to and from JSON. Maps an object to a `BytesMessage`, or to a `TextMessage` if the `targetType` is set to `MessageType.TEXT`. Converts from a `TextMessage` or `BytesMessage` to an object.

Field Detail

### DEFAULT_ENCODING

    public static final String DEFAULT_ENCODING

  The default encoding used for writing to text messages: UTF-8.

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

Constructor Detail

### MappingJacksonMessageConverter

    public MappingJacksonMessageConverter()

Method Detail

### setObjectMapper

    public void setObjectMapper(org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper objectMapper)

  Specify the `ObjectMapper` to use instead of using the default.

### setTargetType

    public void setTargetType(MessageType targetType)

  Specify whether `toMessage(Object, Session)` should marshal to a `BytesMessage` or a `TextMessage`.

  The default is `MessageType.BYTES`, i.e. this converter marshals to a `BytesMessage`. Note that the default version of this converter supports `MessageType.BYTES` and `MessageType.TEXT` only.

  See Also:
    `MessageType.BYTES`, `MessageType.TEXT`

### setEncoding

    public void setEncoding(String encoding)

  Specify the encoding to use when converting to and from text-based message body content. The default encoding will be "UTF-8".

  When reading from a a text-based message, an encoding may have been suggested through a special JMS property which will then be preferred over the encoding set on this MessageConverter instance.

  See Also:
    `setEncodingPropertyName(java.lang.String)`

### setEncodingPropertyName

    public void setEncodingPropertyName(String encodingPropertyName)

  Specify the name of the JMS message property that carries the encoding from bytes to String and back is BytesMessage is used during the conversion process.

  Default is none. Setting this property is optional; if not set, UTF-8 will be used for decoding any incoming bytes message.

  See Also:
    `setEncoding(java.lang.String)`

### setTypeIdPropertyName

    public void setTypeIdPropertyName(String typeIdPropertyName)

  Specify the name of the JMS message property that carries the type id for the contained object: either a mapped id value or a raw Java class name.

  Default is none. NOTE: This property needs to be set in order to allow for converting from an incoming message to a Java object.

  See Also:
    `setTypeIdMappings(java.util.Map<java.lang.String, java.lang.Class<?>>)`

### setTypeIdMappings

    public void setTypeIdMappings(Map<String,Class<?>> typeIdMappings)

  Specify mappings from type ids to Java classes, if desired. This allows for synthetic ids in the type id message property, instead of transferring Java class names.

  Default is no custom mappings, i.e. transferring raw Java class names.

  Parameters:
    `typeIdMappings` - a Map with type id values as keys and Java classes as values

### toMessage

                                        IOException

  Template method that allows for custom message mapping. Invoked when `setTargetType(org.springframework.jms.support.converter.MessageType)` is not `MessageType.TEXT` or `MessageType.BYTES`.

  The default implementation throws an `IllegalArgumentException`.

  Parameters:
    `message` - the input message

  Determine a Jackson JavaType for the given JMS Message, typically parsing a type id message property.

  The default implementation parses the configured type id property name and consults the configured type id mapping. This can be overridden with a different strategy, e.g. doing some heuristics based on message origin.

  Parameters:
    `object` - the payload object to set a type id for
    `message` - the JMS Message to set the type id on
  Throws:
    `JMSException` - if thrown by JMS methods
