Interface TypeRegistry

All Known Implementing Classes:
DefaultTypeRegistry, NoOpTypeRegistry
public interface TypeRegistry
Interface for resolving registered types by alias or simplified name.

A TypeRegistry is used to look up the fully qualified class name associated with a given alias. Aliases may be:

  • Simple class names (e.g., "ProjectCreated")
  • Shortened fully qualified names (e.g., "project.ProjectCreated")

This mechanism is commonly used in deserialization of message payloads or documents, where the @class property in a JSON object indicates the type name.

Example

If a class com.example.project.ProjectCreated is registered using RegisterType, the registry may resolve: 
getTypeName("ProjectCreated") -> "com.example.project.ProjectCreated"
getTypeName("project.ProjectCreated") -> "com.example.project.ProjectCreated"
