This question already has an answer here: Can't set ProblemHandler to ObjectMapper in Spring Boot 1 answer As I understood, Spring is already providing a bean for Jackson ObjectMapper . Therefore, instead of creating a new bean, I'm trying to customize this bean. From this blog post , and then this Github project I used Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder bean to achieve this customization. @Bean public Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder(ApplicationContext context) { Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder builder = new Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder(); builder.findModulesViaServiceLoader(true);

I need to send a JSON body to REST service. Unfortunately, service is quite old and I need to send a POJO, containing JSON string field. So it looks like this: class SomeData { int id; SomePojo jsonField; ... } So SomeData should be sent like this: {'id': 1, 'jsonField': some_json_string} I haven't found any Jackson magic annotation to make it works and I've got a doubt it can be made somehow because of type erasure in Java and it may not be possible to write custom serializer for this purpose but I'm not sure. Could you please suggest any idea of how I can make it work or workaround the issue

It is possible to deserialize to a class with private fields and a custom argument constructor without using annotations and without modifying the class, using Jackson? I know it's possible in Jackson when using this combination: 1) Java 8, 2) compile with "-parameters" option, and 3) the parameters names match JSON. But it's also possible in GSON by default without all these restrictions. For example: public class Person { private final String firstName; private final String lastName; private final int age; public Person(String firstName, String lastName, int age) { this.firstName = firstName
