jmsserializerbundle

I'm building a project with Ember.js and Ember-data for the UI and Symfony2, FOSRestBundle and JMS Serializer for the backend JSON API. JMS Serializer always embeds nested models in its output, but Ember-data requires that the models are side-loaded . I can't find anywhere an example of configuring JMS Serializer to side-load models rather than embedding them. Of course, I could just write an adapter on the Ember-data side to transform the result , but I want to gain the benefits of side-loading data and not just work around a (potential) limitation in JMS Serializer. This is what I mean by

I have an abstract parent (mapped super-)class which has several children with different properties which I'd like to deserialize. I'm storing the data using MongoDB and Doctrine ODM, so I also have a discriminator field which tells doctrine which subclass is used (and also have a custom "type" property ontop which is used elsewhere to determine which class is currently processed). When deserializing my model, I get an exception telling me that its impossible to create an instance of an abstract class (ofcourse) - now I'm wondering how I can tell the JMS Deserializer which inherited class it

I'm using the JMSSerializerBundle to serialize my entity. but I have the following problem: the attribute name is "className" but in my Json object I get a "class_name". this is my entity: /** * Events * * @ORM\Table() * @ORM\Entity */ class Events { /** * @var integer * * @ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer") * @ORM\Id * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO") */ private $id; ... /** * @var string * * @ORM\Column(name="className", type="string", length=255) */ private $className; /** * Set className * * @param string $className * @return Events */ public function setClassName($className) {

I have problem with exclusion of some KNP Paginator properties with JMS Serializer. First, this is included in composer.json ... "jms/serializer-bundle": "~0.13", "knplabs/knp-paginator-bundle": "2.4.*@dev", ... I'm paginating CrmContacts entity and exclusion policy for that entity works well. I also added yml file for KNP Paginator like this: config.yml jms_serializer: metadata: directories: KNPPB: namespace_prefix: 'Knp\\Bundle\\PaginatorBundle' path: %kernel.root_dir%/Resources/serializer/Knp inside app/Resources/serializer/Knp folder I've created Pagination.SlidingPagination.yml: Knp

I have an Entity with a oneToMany relationship, I can get the associated items using; $this->getQueuedItems() This returns Doctrine\ORM\PersistentCollection object, I am then passing this to JMS Serializer like so; $serializer = $container->get('serializer'); $json = $serializer->serialize($this->getQueuedItems(), 'json'); But outputting $json using var_dump() results in; string(2) "[]" Which is wrong. There is data there, because if I do a foreach() over $this->getQueuedItems() I get data. How can I use JMS Serializer to serialise Doctrine\ORM\PersistentCollection into JSON? Thanks The
