All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Map<String,Object>

public class BeanDictionaryMap
extends LinkedHashMap<String,Object>

Represents a map of dictionary type names to bean classes that make up a bean dictionary.

In general, this approach for defining dictionary names for classes is used when it's not possible to use the @Bean(typeName) annotation.

Example:

// A bean dictionary map consisting of classes without @Bean(typeName) annotations // that require type names to be explicitly specified. public class MyBeanDictionaryMap extends BeanDictionaryMap { // Must provide a no-arg constructor! public MyBeanDictionaryMap() { addClass("MyBean", MyBean.class); addClass("MyBeanArray", MyBean[].class); addClass("StringArray", String[].class); addClass("String2dArray", String[][].class); addClass("IntArray", int[].class); addClass("Int2dArray", int[][].class); addClass("LinkedList", LinkedList.class); addClass("TreeMap", TreeMap.class); addCollectionClass("LinkedListOfInts", LinkedList.class, Integer.class); addCollectionClass("LinkedListOfR1", LinkedList.class, R1.class); addCollectionClass("LinkedListOfCalendar", LinkedList.class, Calendar.class); } } // Use it in a parser. ReaderParser p = JsonParser .create() .dictionary(MyBeanDictionaryMap.class) .build();

Subclasses must implement a public no-arg constructor so that it can be instantiated by the bean context code.
