Spring @JsonIgnore not working

Question

How can I get @JsonIgnore to work I have a class. And even if I put the annotation there it has no effect on the output. I am using Jackson.

public class Que         


        

Answer 1

In my case JsonIgnore was not working only on dates. Then I understood that was because of @JsonFormat() that I was using to define the format of date. Removing that solved the issue.

Answer 2

I have finally found a solution. I changed the import statement from

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotate.JsonIgnore;  // com. instead of org.

to

import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonIgnore;

Basically you have to make sure you are using the same class everywhere.
