Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder enable field visibility ANY

Question

I'm using spring-boot and want to customize the ObjectMapper created.

What I want to do is be able to serialize objects that do not have a getter or setters. Before this could be done by putting JsonAutoDetect.Visibility.ANY on the ObjectMapper.

But how can I enable this feature using the Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder bean I'm currently exposing ?

Answer 1

You can use a Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder subclass that overrides the configure(ObjectMapper) method:

@Bean
public Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder objectMapperBuilder() {
    return new Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder() {

        @Override
        public void configure(ObjectMapper objectMapper) {
            super.configure(objectMapper);
            objectMapper.setVisibility(PropertyAccessor.FIELD, Visibility.ANY);
        }

    };

}
