Quick start

Setting up domino-jackson and using it in your project is a very easy process, simplified as Add dependency, Annotate the POJO, and finally use the generated mapper :

Dependencies

Add the following dependencies to your pom file

Latest release

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.dominokit</groupId>
    <artifactId>domino-jackson</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-RC3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.dominokit</groupId>
    <artifactId>domino-jackson-processor</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-RC3</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Development snapshot

<dependency>

    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

GWT 2.8.2 snapshot

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.dominokit</groupId>
    <artifactId>domino-jackson</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-alpha-gwt2.8.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.dominokit.jackson</groupId>
    <artifactId>domino-jackson-processor</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-alpha-gwt2.8.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Notice this is still a snapshot, in order to use snapshots you need to add the snapshots repositories to your maven settings.xml or to your project pom repositories section.

<repository>
 <id>sonatype-snapshots-repo</id>
 <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
 <snapshots>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
    <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
    <checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>
 </snapshots>
</repository>
<repository>
 <id>vertispan-snapshots-repo</id>
 <url>https://repo.vertispan.com/gwt-snapshot/</url>
 <snapshots>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
    <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
    <checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>
 </snapshots>
</repository>

If you want to use this library with GWT2.x you will need to add the inherits directive to your gwt.xml file

GWT2.9.0

<inherits name="org.dominokit.jackson.Jackson"/>

GWT2.8.2

<inherits name="org.dominokit.jacksonapt.GwtJacksonApt"/>

Annotate the POJO

Annotate your pojo as a JSONMapper

import org.dominokit.jacksonapt.annotation.JSONMapper;

@JSONMapper
public class Person {

    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }
}

This will generate a JSON mapper for the Person class.

Use the generated mapper

public static void main(String[] args) {

        Person person = new Person();
        person.setFirstName("Ahmad");
        person.setLastName("Bawaneh");

        String personJsonString = Person_MapperImpl.INSTANCE
                .write(person);
        //{"firstName":"Ahmad","lastName":"Bawaneh"}

        Person person2 = Person_MapperImpl.INSTANCE.read("{\"firstName\":\"Ahmad\",\"lastName\":\"Bawaneh\"}");
    }
