Abstract class that defines API for objects that can be registered to participate in constructing JsonDeserializer instances (via DeserializerFactory). This is typically done by modules that want alter some aspects of deserialization process; and is preferable to sub-classing of BeanDeserializerFactory.

Note that Jackson 2.2 adds more methods for customization; with earlier versions only BeanDeserializer instances could be modified, but with 2.2 all types of deserializers can be changed.

Sequence in which callback methods are called for BeanDeserializer is:

  1. updateProperties is called once all property definitions are collected, and initial filtering (by ignorable type and explicit ignoral-by-bean) has been performed.
  2. updateBuilder is called once all initial pieces for building deserializer have been collected
  3. modifyDeserializer is called after deserializer has been built by BeanDeserializerBuilder but before it is returned to be used

For other types of deserializers, methods called depend on type of values for which deserializer is being constructed; and only a single method is called since the process does not involve builders (unlike that of BeanDeserializer.

Default method implementations are "no-op"s, meaning that methods are implemented but have no effect; this is mostly so that new methods can be added in later versions.

public abstract class BeanDeserializerModifier {
Method called by BeanDeserializerFactory when it has collected initial list of BeanPropertyDefinitions, and done basic by-name and by-type filtering, but before constructing builder or actual property handlers; or arranging order. The most common changes to make at this point are to completely remove specified properties, or rename then: other modifications are easier to make at later points.

Method called by BeanDeserializerFactory when it has collected basic information such as tentative list of properties to deserialize. Implementations may choose to modify state of builder (to affect deserializer being built), or even completely replace it (if they want to build different kind of deserializer). Typically changes mostly concern set of properties to deserialize.

public BeanDeserializerBuilder updateBuilder(DeserializationConfig config, BeanDescription beanDesc, BeanDeserializerBuilder builder) { return builder; }
Method called by BeanDeserializerFactory after constructing default bean deserializer instance with properties collected and ordered earlier. Implementations can modify or replace given deserializer and return deserializer to use. Note that although initial deserializer being passed is of type BeanDeserializer, modifiers may return deserializers of other types; and this is why implementations must check for type before casting.

Params:
