java type to class,杰克逊从类创建JavaType

There must be a way to create a JavaType from String.class?

Note: The input for the method must be JavaType for my use case because that value is created dynamically using TypeFactory.

/** Returns a JavaType for Map **/

private static JavaType stringToJavaType(JavaType valueType) {

TypeFactory typeFactory = objectMapper.getTypeFactory();

// this does not compile, can't mix Class and JavaType

return typeFactory.constructMapType(Map.class, String.class, valueType);

}

If I may tack on a related question, what is the advantage of constructMapType over constructParametricType?

You can do it by:

constructFromCanonical method. For example: typeFactory.constructFromCanonical(String.class.getName())

constructType method. For example: typeFactory.constructType(new TypeReference() {}).

constructArrayType method. For example: typeFactory.constructArrayType(String.class).getContentType(). But it looks a little bit like a workaround.

SimpleType.constructUnsafe method. For example: SimpleType.constructUnsafe(String.class). Note from documentation: Method used by core Jackson classes: NOT to be used by application code: it does NOT properly handle inspection of super-types, so neither parent Classes nor implemented Interfaces are accessible with resulting type instance. So, even it is possible to use try to avoid it.
