Overriding @jsonIgnore in subclass

Question

I have a class Parent

public class Parent {    private int id;     @JsonIgnore    int getId() {}     void setId(int id) {} } 

I have a subclass which is derived from Parent

public class Child extends Parent {     @JsonProperty   // just to explicitly tell jackson to serialize this     @Override     int getId() {}      @Override     void setId(int id) {} } 

I actually don't want the id property to be serialized when an object of Parent is returned but it should be serialized when an object of Child class is returned.

I think if Parent was an Interface, overriding the visibility would work, but I am not sure if the behavior is the same with superclass.

Is there a simple solution for this? I would really appreciate your answers. Tx.

Answer 1

What you want in the Child class is not @JsonProperty but instead @JsonIgnore(false).
