Is there a way to register a codec for multiple classes? Basically, all my classes should just be serialized using a Jackson object mapper. But it seems like I have to create a custom codec for each class (even though I can abstract it a little bit using generics).
A small code example:
Codec:
class JacksonCodec<T>(private val mapper: ObjectMapper, private val clazz: Class<T>) : MessageCodec<T, T> {
override fun encodeToWire(buffer: Buffer, s: T) {
buffer.appendBytes(mapper.writeValueAsBytes(s))
}
override fun decodeFromWire(pos: Int, buffer: Buffer): T {
val length = buffer.getInt(pos)
val bytes = buffer.getBytes(pos + 4, pos + 4 + length)
return mapper.readValue(bytes, clazz)
}
...
}
register codec for each class I want to serialize:
vertx.eventBus()
.registerDefaultCodec(A::class.java, JacksonCodec(DatabindCodec.mapper(), A::class.java))
vertx.eventBus()
vertx.eventBus()
.registerDefaultCodec(B::class.java, JacksonCodec(DatabindCodec.mapper(), B::class.java))
vertx.eventBus()
The code examples are kotlin but same applies for Java.
As far as I can tell looking at the code, there is no way, as the class needs to be the exact match:
