I have the following scenario:
public class A {
@JsonProperty("member")
private int Member;
}
public class B {
private int Member;
}
Now, I wish to do the following:
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
B b = new B(); b.setMember("1");
A a = mapper.converValue(b, A.class);
Ordinarily, this would work. However, since the objectMapper
takes annotations such as @JsonProperty
into account, I get the following result:
A.getMember(); // Member = NULL
There is a workaround, where all fields that are expected to be null
due to this are set manually, i.e. A.setMember(b.getMember());
, but this defeats the purpose of using the objectMapper
in the first place and is potentially error-prone.
Is there a way to configure the objectMapper
to ignore the @JsonProperty
fields of a given class (or globally)?
You can configure the ObjectMapper to ignore annotations like @JsonProperty by doing:
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper().configure(
org.codehaus.jackson.map.DeserializationConfig.Feature.USE_ANNOTATIONS, false)
.configure(org.codehaus.jackson.map.SerializationConfig.Feature.USE_ANNOTATIONS, false)
But this will cause it to also ignore things like @JsonIgnore etc. I'm not aware of any way to make the ObjectMapper ignore only specific annotations.
