Jackson serializes a ZonedDateTime wrongly in Spring Boot

Question

I have a simple application with Spring Boot and Jetty. I have a simple controller returning an object which has a Java 8 ZonedDateTime:

public clas         


        

Answer 1

If you either don't rely on SpringBoot's auto-configuration feature - you don't provide spring.jackson.serialization.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS = false property into your configuration file - or for whatever reason you create ObjectMapper instance manually. You can disable this feature programatically as follows:

ObjectMapper m = new ObjectMapper();
m.disable(SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS);

this is for jackson 2.8.7
