How to specify jackson to only use fields - preferably globally

Question

Default jackon behaviour seems to use both properties (getters and setters) and fields to serialize and deserialize to json.

I would like to use the fields as the ca

Answer 1

In Jackson 2.0 and later you can simply use:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonAutoDetect;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.PropertyAccessor;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;   

...

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();    
mapper.setVisibility(PropertyAccessor.ALL, Visibility.NONE);
mapper.setVisibility(PropertyAccessor.FIELD, Visibility.ANY);

to turn off autodetection.

Answer 2

Specifically for boolean is*() getters:

I've spend a lot of time on why neither below

  @JsonAutoDetect(fieldVisibility = Visibility.ANY, getterVisibility = Visibility.NONE, setterVisibility = Visibility.NONE)

nor this

  setVisibility(PropertyAccessor.SETTER, JsonAutoDetect.Visibility.NONE);
  setVisibility(PropertyAccessor.GETTER, JsonAutoDetect.Visibility.NONE);
  setVisibility(PropertyAccessor.FIELD, JsonAutoDetect.Visibility.ANY);

worked for my Boolean Getter/Setter.

Solution is simple:

  @JsonAutoDetect(isGetterVisibility = Visibility.NONE, ...          
  setVisibility(PropertyAccessor.IS_GETTER, JsonAutoDetect.Visibility.NONE);

UPDATE: spring-boot allowed configure it:

jackson:
  visibility.field: any
  visibility.getter: none
  visibility.setter: none
  visibility.is-getter: none
