Java：如何编写一个反序列化列表/集合的泛型？

Question

I'm attempting to refactor my deserialization method to use generics to enable me to deserialize any type. I can do this just fine for objects that are not in a collection, like this:

public static <T> T parseProductData(String jsonData, Class<T> typeClass) throws IOException, IllegalAccessException {
    ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
    objectMapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);
    T inputMessage = objectMapper.readValue(jsonData, typeClass);
    return inputMessage;
}

Here is the method that I want to refactor:

public static List<ComponentPOCO> parseJsonComponentFromString(String fileContents){

        try {
            ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper()
                    .enable(DeserializationFeature.ACCEPT_SINGLE_VALUE_AS_ARRAY)
                    .configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);
            List<ComponentPOCO> component = mapper.readValue(fileContents, new TypeReference<List<ComponentPOCO>>() {});
            return component;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

Here is my failed attempt to refactor the method to use generics:

public static List<T> T parseJsonComponentFromString(String fileContents, Class<T> typeClass){

        try {
            ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper()
                    .enable(DeserializationFeature.ACCEPT_SINGLE_VALUE_AS_ARRAY)
                    .configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);
            List<T> component = mapper.readValue(fileContents, new TypeReference<List<T>>() {});
            return component;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

However, this code doesn't compile because it's not using Java generics correctly. How could I deserialize my JSON objects into a generic list/collection/something-similar type?

Here is an example of the data that I'm deserializing into the ComponentPOCO class:

[
      {   "artifactPathOrUrl": "http://www.java2s.com/Code/JarDownload/sample/sample.jar.zip",
        "namespace": "exampleNamespace1",
        "name": "exampleName1",
        "tenant": "exampleTenant1"
      },

      {   
        "artifactPathOrUrl": "http://www.java2s.com/Code/JarDownload/sample-calculator/sample-calculator-bundle-2.0.jar.zip",
        "namespace": "exampleNamespace1",
        "name": "exampleName2",
        "tenant": "exampleTenant1"
      },
      {   
        "artifactPathOrUrl": "http://www.java2s.com/Code/JarDownload/helloworld/helloworld.jar.zip",
        "namespace": "exampleNamespace1",
        "name": "exampleName3",
        "tenant": "exampleTenant1"
      },
      {   
        "artifactPathOrUrl": "http://www.java2s.com/Code/JarDownload/fabric-activemq/fabric-activemq-demo-7.0.2.fuse-097.jar.zip",
        "namespace": "exampleNamespace1",
        "name": "exampleName4",
        "tenant": "exampleTenant1"
      }
]

Here is the code of the ComponentPOCO type:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
import lombok.*;
import lombok.experimental.Accessors;
import org.apache.pulsar.common.io.SinkConfig;
import org.apache.pulsar.common.io.SourceConfig;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

@Setter
@Getter
@EqualsAndHashCode
@ToString
@Accessors(chain = true)
@Data
public class ComponentPOCO {
    @JsonProperty
    private String namespace;
    @JsonProperty
    private String tenant;
    @JsonProperty
    private String name;
    @JsonProperty
    private String type;
    @JsonProperty
    private String destinationTopicName;
    @JsonProperty
    private String artifactPathOrUrl;
    @JsonProperty
    private String className;
    @JsonProperty
    private List<String> inputs;
    @JsonProperty
    private String output;
    @JsonProperty
    private Map<String, Object> userConfig;
    @JsonProperty
    private String logTopic;
    @JsonProperty
    private Map<String, Object> configs;
    @JsonProperty
    private Integer parallelism;
    @JsonProperty
    public String sinkType;
    @JsonProperty
    private String sourceType;
    @JsonProperty
    public String runtimeFlags;
}

There are several problems with your code. The quickiest way to make this code work as I think you want is to replace the method with this one:

public LinkedHashMap<String,T> parseJsonComponentFromString(String fileContents){
        try {
            ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper()
                    .enable(DeserializationFeature.ACCEPT_SINGLE_VALUE_AS_ARRAY)
                    .configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);
            return mapper.readValue(fileContents, new TypeReference<T>() {});
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

because ObjectMapper.readValue returns a LinkedHashMap<String,T> (I have no idea why it says just T in the javadocs)

Then you look up your parsed string with get(key_name) if you know the keys or forEach if you don't and don't want to assume them. This last one is better but would require you to use java 8+ and to know about lambda expressions and functional interfaces. Here a tutorial. Here another one.

By the way, I take chance again to point out there is much wrong with this code, you may want to re-design your whole system. If you really really really must use a List, than you have a different problem: " How to convert a LinkedHashMap to a List? ". Guess the quickiest way whould be implement the forEach mentioned earlier and push each element on the List.

That is, something like this:

LinkedHashMap<String,Integer> linkedHashMap = XXX.parseJsonComponentFromString(yyy);
LinkedList<T> list = new LinkedList<T>();     
linkedHashMap.forEach((k,i) -> list.add(i));

Hope I helped.
