How can I force Jackson to write numbers as strings when serializing my objects

Question

I have an id that is pretty large on one of my java objects. When it jackson converts it to JSON it sends it down as a number (e.g. {\"id\":1000110040000000001}) but as soon

Answer 1

Jackson-databind (at least 2.1.3) provides special ToStringSerializer. That did it for me.

@Id @JsonSerialize(using = ToStringSerializer.class)
private Long id;
