getSize

public long getSize(T t,
                    Class<?> type,
                    Type genericType,
                    Annotation[] annotations,
                    MediaType mediaType)

Description copied from interface: MessageBodyWriter

Originally, the method has been called before writeTo to ascertain the length in bytes of the serialized form of t. A non-negative return value has been used in a HTTP Content-Length header.

As of version 2.0 of this API, the method has been deprecated and the value returned by the method is ignored by an API runtime. All MessageBodyWriter implementations are advised to return -1 from the method. Responsibility to compute the actual Content-Length header value has been delegated to the runtime.

Specified by:

getSize in interface MessageBodyWriter<T>

Parameters:

t - the instance to write

type - the class of instance that is to be written.

genericType - the type of instance to be written. GenericEntity provides a way to specify this information at runtime.

annotations - an array of the annotations attached to the message entity instance.

mediaType - the media type of the HTTP entity.

Returns:

length in bytes or -1 if the length cannot be determined in advance.
