Interface PortableProperty

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.annotation.Annotation

@Target(value={FIELD,METHOD})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public interface PortableProperty

extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation

A PortableProperty marks a member variable or method accessor as a POF serialized attribute. Whilst the value() and codec() can be explicitly specified they can be determined by classes that use this annotation. Hence these attributes serve as hints to the underlying parser.

Since:

3.7.1

The index of this property

Returns:

POF index

codec

java.lang.Class codec()

A codec to use to short-circuit determining the type via either method return type or field type.

This could be used to determine concrete implementations of interfaces, i.e. when the method return is a Map this type definition could instruct the code to utilize a LinkedHashMap

Returns:

class representing the codec to use for this property
