MappingJacksonJsonView: Recognize Jackson Annotations (ex @JsonSerialize) when returning objects from methods annotated with @ResponseBody [SPR-9297]

[spring-projects-issues]

Andrew Muraco opened SPR-9297 and commented

Currently when using MappingJacksonJsonView and the @ResponseBody annotation, there isn't a usage-specific way to customize the generated JSON, Jackson allows Mixin and hints for the serializer that influence how Jackson will generate the output. Ideally I want to use these features of Jackson rather then have to reinvent them or do extra glue code to be able to utilize them.

public class FooBar implements Foo,Bar {
//Implements String getFoo() from interface Foo
//Implements String getBar() from interface Bar
}

@Controller
public class FooController {
	@RequestMapping("/foo")
	@ResponseBody
@JsonSerialize(as=Foo.class)
	public Foo getFooObject() {
return new FooBar();
	}
}

Ideally, I would get

{"foo":"TestFooString"}

Currently, since the MappingJacksonJsonView doesn't recongize the @JsonSerialize annotation I get

{"bar":"TestBarString","foo":"TestFooString"}
