Is there a way to not only view/hide fields by using different classes in @JsonView but also define different names (like with @JsonProperty) depending on the view used for each
My solution involves Jackson Mixin feature.
I used the same view class to place the different @jsonProperty annotations. This is more convinient than a seperate class, however, now you cannot use inheritence of views. If you need this, you will have to create seperate classes that hold the @jsonProperty annotations and change the mixin modules accordingly.
Here is the object to be serialized:
public class Bean
{
@JsonView({Views.Public.class, Views.Internal.class})
public String name;
@JsonView(Views.Internal.class)
public String ssn;
}
The views with the json property annotations
public class Views
{
public static class Public {
@JsonProperty("public_name")
public String name;
}
public static class Internal {
@JsonProperty("internal_name")
public String name;
}
}
The mixin modules, required by Jackson:
@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class PublicModule extends SimpleModule
{
public PublicModule() {
super("PublicModule");
}
@Override
public void setupModule(SetupContext context)
{
context.setMixInAnnotations(Bean.class, Views.Public.class);
}
}
@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class InternalModule extends SimpleModule
{
public InternalModule() {
super("InternalModule");
}
@Override
public void setupModule(SetupContext context)
{
context.setMixInAnnotations(Bean.class, Views.Internal.class);
}
}
test method:
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Bean bean = new Bean();
bean.name = "my name";
bean.ssn = "123-456-789";
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
System.out.println(args[0] + ": ");
try {
if (args[0].equals("public")) {
mapper.registerModule(new PublicModule());
mapper.writerWithView(Views.Public.class).writeValue(System.out, bean);
} else {
mapper.registerModule(new InternalModule());
mapper.writerWithView(Views.Internal.class).writeValue(System.out, bean);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
output with two separate invocations:
public:
{"public_name":"my name"}
internal:
{"ssn":"123-456-789","internal_name":"my name"}
