Lombok + Jackson immutables

Question

After updating my project to Spring Boot 1.5.10 Lombok stopped working correctly with Jackson. I mean immutable DTOs creation, when field names in my objects are not same as fields in json request:

@Value
@Builder
public class MyImmutableDto implements Serializable {

    @JsonProperty("other-field-1-name")
    private final BigDecimal myField1;

    @JsonProperty("other-field-2-name")
    private final String myField2;

    and a lot of fields there...
}

So, after updating Spring Boot to 1.5.10 this code isn't working, and I need to configure lombok like that:

lombok.anyConstructor.addConstructorProperties = true

Does anyone know any other way to create such objects with jackson + lombok without this lombok fix? Instead of this fix I can use following code: @JsonPOJOBuilder and @JsonDeserialize(builder = MyDto.MyDtoBuilder.class):

@Value
@Builder
@JsonDeserialize(builder = MyDto.MyDtoBuilder.class)
public class MyDto implements Serializable {

    // @JsonProperty("other-field-1-name")    // not working
    private final BigDecimal myField1;

    private final String myField2;
    private final String myField3;
    and a lot of fields there...

    @JsonPOJOBuilder(withPrefix = "")
    public static final class MyDtoBuilder {
    }
}

But it is not working with @JsonProperty("other-field-1-name"). Ofc, it can be done by simple @JsonCreator, but maybe there is some way to use it with lombok using some constructor/jackson annotations?

Answer 1

So this is not the exact same case, but this works for my problem. I need the @JsonDeserialize annotation on the builder, putting it there on the builder explicitly solves the problem (at the cost of boilerplate code). At least I don't need to type out the rest of the builder.

@Value
@Builder
@JsonDeserialize(builder = ProductPrice.ProductPriceBuilder.class)
public class ProductPrice {

    @JsonSerialize(using = MoneySerializer.class)
    @JsonDeserialize(using = MoneyDeserializer.class)
    Money price;

    Duration rentalLength;

    Period recurrence;

    @JsonPOJOBuilder(withPrefix = "")
    public static class ProductPriceBuilder{
        @JsonDeserialize(using = MoneyDeserializer.class)
        public ProductPrice.ProductPriceBuilder price(Money price) {
            this.price = price;
            return this;
        }  
    }
}
