Can't make Jackson and Lombok work together

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@Builderpublic 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)@AllArgsConstructorpublic 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@AllArgsConstructorpublic class MyPojo {    @JsonProperty("Description")    private String description;    @JsonProperty("ErrorCode")    private String errorCode;}
