Method Detail

serializeDynamicModelProperty

public static <T> T serializeDynamicModelProperty(java.lang.Object property,
                                                  java.lang.reflect.Type type)

Takes a property of an object extending DynamicModel and serializes it to the desired type. Without this conversion, properties which also happen to extend DynamicModel throw an exception when trying to cast to their concrete type from the default Gson serialization.

Type Parameters:

T - the generic type

Parameters:

property - property of a DynamicModel

type - the type we wish to convert the property to

Returns:

the properly converted object
