Class SerializedMessage<T>

java.lang.Object

org.axonframework.messaging.AbstractMessage<T>

org.axonframework.serialization.SerializedMessage<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Message<T>

public class SerializedMessage<T>
extends AbstractMessage<T>

A message containing serialized payload data and metadata. A SerializedMessage will deserialize the payload or metadata on demand when getPayload() or getMetaData() is called.

The SerializedMessage guarantees that the payload and metadata will not be deserialized more than once. Messages of this type will not be serialized more than once by the same serializer.

Constructor Detail

SerializedMessage

public SerializedMessage(String identifier,
                         SerializedObject<?> serializedPayload,
                         SerializedObject<?> serializedMetaData,
                         Serializer serializer)

Initializes a SerializedMessage with given identifier from the given serialized payload and metadata. The given serializer will be used to deserialize the data.

Parameters:

identifier - the message identifier

serializedPayload - the serialized message payload

serializedMetaData - the serialized message metadata

serializer - the serializer required when the data needs to be deserialized

SerializedMessage

public SerializedMessage(String identifier,
                         LazyDeserializingObject<T> payload,
                         LazyDeserializingObject<MetaData> metaData)

Initializes a SerializedMessage with given identifier from the given lazily deserializing payload and metadata.

Parameters:

identifier - the message identifier

payload - serialized payload that can be deserialized on demand and never more than once

metaData - serialized metadata that can be deserialized on demand and never more than once

Method Detail

getPayload

public T getPayload()

Description copied from interface: Message

Returns the payload of this Event. The payload is the application-specific information.

Returns:

the payload of this Event

getMetaData

public MetaData getMetaData()

Description copied from interface: Message

Returns the meta data for this event. This meta data is a collection of key-value pairs, where the key is a String, and the value is a serializable object.

Returns:

the meta data for this event

getPayloadType

public Class<T> getPayloadType()

Description copied from interface: Message

Returns the type of the payload.

Is semantically equal to getPayload().getClass(), but allows implementations to optimize by using lazy loading or deserialization.

Returns:

the type of payload.

withMetaData

protected SerializedMessage<T> withMetaData(MetaData metaData)

Description copied from class: AbstractMessage

Returns a new message instance with the same payload and properties as this message but given metaData.

Specified by:

withMetaData in class AbstractMessage<T>

Parameters:

metaData - The metadata in the new message

Returns:

a copy of this instance with given metadata

withMetaData

public SerializedMessage<T> withMetaData(Map<String,?> metaData)

Description copied from interface: Message

Returns a copy of this Message with the given metaData. The payload remains unchanged.

While the implementation returned may be different than the implementation of this, implementations must take special care in returning the same type of Message (e.g. EventMessage, DomainEventMessage) to prevent errors further downstream.

Specified by:

withMetaData in interface Message<T>

Overrides:

withMetaData in class AbstractMessage<T>

Parameters:

metaData - The new MetaData for the Message

Returns:

a copy of this message with the given MetaData

andMetaData

public SerializedMessage<T> andMetaData(Map<String,?> metaData)

Description copied from interface: Message

Returns a copy of this Message with it MetaData merged with the given metaData. The payload remains unchanged.

Specified by:

andMetaData in interface Message<T>

Overrides:

andMetaData in class AbstractMessage<T>

Parameters:

metaData - The MetaData to merge with

Returns:

a copy of this message with the given MetaData

serializePayload

public <R> SerializedObject<R> serializePayload(Serializer serializer,
                                                Class<R> expectedRepresentation)

Description copied from interface: Message

Serialize the payload of this message to the expectedRepresentation using given serializer. This method should return the same SerializedObject instance when invoked multiple times using the same serializer.

Type Parameters:

R - The type of the serialized data

Parameters:

serializer - The serializer to serialize payload with

expectedRepresentation - The type of data to serialize to

Returns:

a SerializedObject containing the serialized representation of the message's payload

serializeMetaData

public <R> SerializedObject<R> serializeMetaData(Serializer serializer,
                                                 Class<R> expectedRepresentation)

Description copied from interface: Message

Serialize the meta data of this message to the expectedRepresentation using given serializer. This method should return the same SerializedObject instance when invoked multiple times using the same serializer.

Type Parameters:

R - The type of the serialized data

Parameters:

serializer - The serializer to serialize meta data with

expectedRepresentation - The type of data to serialize to

Returns:

a SerializedObject containing the serialized representation of the message's meta data

isPayloadDeserialized

public boolean isPayloadDeserialized()

Indicates whether the payload of this message has already been deserialized.

Returns:

true if the payload is deserialized, otherwise false

isMetaDataDeserialized

public boolean isMetaDataDeserialized()

Indicates whether the metaData of this message has already been deserialized.

Returns:

true if the metaData is deserialized, otherwise false

writeReplace

protected Object writeReplace()

Java Serialization API Method that provides a replacement to serialize, as the fields contained in this instance are not serializable themselves.

Returns:

the GenericMessage to use as a replacement when serializing
