Jersey Jackson data entity filtering JsonMappingException on collection

Question

I have an issue when trying to put in place the “selectable entity filtering”. I have an Abstract class like following one:

   // In your Pom

It seems that when you are using the SelectableEntityFilteringFeature and if you are putting Collection as an Entity in Response then you will get a JsonMappingException. For me it is a bug. The work around is you should encapsulate your collection into GenericEntity to be able to be serialized by Jersey-Jackson.

return Response.status(Status.OK)
       .entity(new GenericEntity>(entityIDs)     {}).build(); 
// Use GenericEntity to avoid JsonMappingException  because of the new flow with Filtering
