Can't make Jackson and Lombok work together

Question

If you want immutable but a json serializable POJO using lombok and jackson. Use jacksons new annotation on your lomboks builder @JsonPOJOBuilder(withPrefix = "") I tried this solution and it works very well. Sample usage

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonDeserialize;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonPOJOBuilder;
import lombok.Builder;
import lombok.Value;

@JsonDeserialize(builder = Detail.DetailBuilder.class)
@Value
@Builder
public class Detail {

    private String url;
    private String userName;
    private String password;
    private String scope;

    @JsonPOJOBuilder(withPrefix = "")
    public static class DetailBuilder {

    }
}

If you have too many classes with @Builder and you want don't want the boilerplate code empty annotation you can override the annotation interceptor to have empty withPrefix

mapper.setAnnotationIntrospector(new JacksonAnnotationIntrospector() {
        @Override
        public JsonPOJOBuilder.Value findPOJOBuilderConfig(AnnotatedClass ac) {
            if (ac.hasAnnotation(JsonPOJOBuilder.class)) {//If no annotation present use default as empty prefix
                return super.findPOJOBuilderConfig(ac);
            }
            return new JsonPOJOBuilder.Value("build", "");
        }
    });

And you can remove the empty builder class with @JsonPOJOBuilder annotation.

Immutable + Lombok + Jackson can be achieved in next way:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import lombok.AccessLevel;
import lombok.AllArgsConstructor;
import lombok.NoArgsConstructor;
import lombok.Value;

@Value
@NoArgsConstructor(force = true, access = AccessLevel.PRIVATE)
@AllArgsConstructor
public class LocationDto {

    double longitude;
    double latitude;
}

class ImmutableWithLombok {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();

        String stringJsonRepresentation = objectMapper.writeValueAsString(new LocationDto(22.11, 33.33));
        System.out.println(stringJsonRepresentation);

        LocationDto locationDto = objectMapper.readValue(stringJsonRepresentation, LocationDto.class);
        System.out.println(locationDto);
    }
}

I tried several of the above and they were all temperamental. What really worked for me is the the answer I found here.

on your project's root directory add a lombok.config file (if you haven't done already)

lombok.config

and inside paste this

lombok.anyConstructor.addConstructorProperties=true

Then you can define your pojos like the following:

@Data
@AllArgsConstructor
public class MyPojo {

    @JsonProperty("Description")
    private String description;
    @JsonProperty("ErrorCode")
    private String errorCode;
}

I had exactly the same issue, "solved" it by adding the suppressConstructorProperties = true parameter (using your example):

@Value
@Wither
@AllArgsConstructor(suppressConstructorProperties = true)
public class TestFoo {
    @JsonProperty("xoom")
    private String x;
    private int z;
}

Jackson apparently does not like the java.beans.ConstructorProperties annotation added to constructors. The suppressConstructorProperties = true parameter tells Lombok not to add it (it does by default).

@AllArgsConstructor(suppressConstructorProperties = true) is deprecated. Define lombok.anyConstructor.suppressConstructorProperties=true (https://projectlombok.org/features/configuration) and change POJO's lombok annotation from @Value to @Data + @NoArgsConstructor + @AllArgsConstructor works for me.

From Jan Rieke's Answer

Since lombok 1.18.4, you can configure what annotations are copied to the constructor parameters. Insert this into your lombok.config:

lombok.copyableAnnotations += com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty

Then just add @JsonProperty to your fields:

...

You'll need a @JsonProperty on every field even if the name matches, but that is a good practice to follow anyway. You can also set your fields to public final using this, which I prefer over getters.

@ToString
@EqualsAndHashCode
@Wither
@AllArgsConstructor(onConstructor=@__(@JsonCreator))
public class TestFoo {
    @JsonProperty("xoom")
    public final String x;
    @JsonProperty("z")
    public final int z;
}

It should also work with getters (+setters) though.
