| Stop Classes |
| |
| <p> |
| Whereas interface filters limit properties defined on child classes, stop filters |
| do the opposite and limit properties defined on parent classes. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Stop classes are defined through the following: |
| </p> |
| <ul class='javatree'> |
| <li class='ja'>{@link oaj.annotation.Bean#stopClass() Bean(stopClass)} |
| <li class='jf'>{@link oaj.transform.BeanFilterBuilder#stopClass(Class)} |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| Stop classes are identical in purpose to the stop class specified by {@link java.beans.Introspector#getBeanInfo(Class, Class)}. |
| Any properties in the stop class or in its base classes will be ignored during serialization. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| For example, in the following class hierarchy, instances of <c>C3</c> will include property <c>p3</c>, |
| but not <c>p1</c> or <c>p2</c>. |
| </p> |
| <p class='bpcode w800'> |
| <jk>public class</jk> C1 { |
| <jk>public int</jk> getP1(); |
| } |
| |
| <jk>public class</jk> C2 <jk>extends</jk> C1 { |
| <jk>public int</jk> getP2(); |
| } |
| |
| <ja>@Bean</ja>(stopClass=C2.<jk>class</jk>) |
| <jk>public class</jk> C3 <jk>extends</jk> C2 { |
| <jk>public int</jk> getP3(); |
| } |
| |
| <jc>// Serializes property 'p3', but NOT 'p1' or 'p2'.</jc> |
| String json = JsonSerializer.<jsf>DEFAULT</jsf>.serialize(<jk>new</jk> C3()); |
| </p> |
