I am going to develop a JSON REST service using Spring MVC 4.0.4 , Hibernate 4.3.5 and Jackson 2.5.4. For the controllers i need the @JsonView
to filter properties.
I have annotated some of Model's properties with @JsonView(View.Summary.class)
and @JsonView(View.Details.class)
. when i annotate the controllers for filtering their results (with @JsonView(View.Summary.class)
), it returns all of the annotated properties without considering the passed view class ( View.Summary.class
).
View Classes:
public class View {
public static interface Summary{}
public static interface Details extends Summary{}
}
Model :
@Entity
@Table(name="image")
public class Image {
@JsonView(View.Summary.class)
private int id;
private String thumbnailURL;
@JsonView(View.Details.class)
private String imageURL;
private Date registrationDate;
private int price;
//..... getters and setters
}
Controller:
@JsonView(View.Summary.class)
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/service/images")
public List<Image> getAllImages(HttpServletResponse response) {
List<Image> list;
// codes for fetching the result
return list;
}
Spring Message Converter:
<mvc:message-converters>
<bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.StringHttpMessageConverter" />
<bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter">
<property name="objectMapper">
<bean class="com.digimind.utils.HibernateAwareObjectMapper">
</bean>
</property>
</bean>
</mvc:message-converters>
HibenrateAwareObjectMapper:
public class HibernateAwareObjectMapper extends ObjectMapper {
public HibernateAwareObjectMapper() {
Hibernate4Module hm = new Hibernate4Module();
registerModule(hm);
this.disable(MapperFeature.DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION);
this.disable(MapperFeature.AUTO_DETECT_GETTERS);
}
}
Result:
[
{
"id": 3,
"imageURL": "url3"
},
{
"id": 2,
"imageURL": "url 2"
}
]
Expected Result:
[
{
"id": 3,
},
{
"id": 2,
}
]
Thanks for Your Attention.
