I would like all my objects to have an ID and I wish to serialise it for some child class but not for some others
for example:
public class A {
protected Long id;
..getter and setter
}
public class B extends A {
@Override
@JsonIgnore
public Long getId() {..}
@Override
@JsonIgnore
public void setId(Long id) {..}
}
public class C extends B {
@Override
@JsonInclude
public Long getId() {..}
@Override
@JsonInclude
public void setId(Long id) {..}
}
public class Test {
Set<C> tests ...
..getter setter
}
I have tried serialising Test but the JSON string doesn’t include the IDs If I remove the JsonIgnore from B then in that case the Ids are there.
Is there a way with jackson to archive this?
Answer
Use
@JsonIgnore(false)
instead of
@JsonInclude
