@JsonIgnore with @Getter Annotation

Question

Can I use @JsonIgnore with @Getter annotation from lombok without explicitly define the getter, because I have to use this JsonIgnore while serializing the object but while deserializing, the JsonIgnore annotation must be ignored so the field in my object must not be null?

@Getter @Setter public class User {      private userName;      @JsonIgnore     private password; } 

I know, just by define the JsonIgnore on the getter of password I can prevent my password to be serialized but for that, I have to explicitly define the getter thing that I don't want. Any idea please, Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

To put the @JsonIgnore to the generated getter method, you can use onMethod = @__( @JsonIgnore ). This will generate the getter with the specific annotation. For more details check http://projectlombok.org/features/GetterSetter.html

@Getter @Setter public class User {      private userName;      @Getter(onMethod = @__( @JsonIgnore ))     @Setter     private password; } 

Answer 2

Recently i had the same issue using jackson-annotation 2.9.0 and lombok 1.18.2

This is what worked for me:

@Getter @Setter public class User {      @JsonIgnore     @JsonProperty(access = JsonProperty.Access.WRITE_ONLY)     private String password; 

So basically adding the annotation @JsonProperty(access = JsonProperty.Access.WRITE_ONLY) means that the property may only be written for deserialization (using setter) but will not be read on serialization (using getter)
