jackson: ignore getter, but not with @JsonView

You may find the use of the dynamic Jackson filtering slightly more elegant for your use case. Here is an example of the filtering of POJO fields based on a custom annotation sharing one object mapper instance:

public class JacksonFilter {    static private boolean shouldIncludeAllFields;    @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)    public static @interface Admin {}    @JsonFilter("admin-filter")    public static class User {        public final String email;        @Admin        public final String details;        public User(String email, String details) {            this.email = email;            this.details = details;        }    }    public static class AdminPropertyFilter extends SimpleBeanPropertyFilter {        @Override        protected boolean include(BeanPropertyWriter writer) {            // deprecated since 2.3            return true;        }        @Override        protected boolean include(PropertyWriter writer) {            if (writer instanceof BeanPropertyWriter) {                return shouldIncludeAllFields || ((BeanPropertyWriter) writer).getAnnotation(Admin.class) == null;            }            return true;        }    }    public static void main(String[] args) throws JsonProcessingException {        User user = new User("email", "secret");        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();        mapper.setFilters(new SimpleFilterProvider().addFilter("admin-filter", new AdminPropertyFilter()));        System.out.println(mapper.writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter().writeValueAsString(user));        shouldIncludeAllFields = true;        System.out.println(mapper.writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter().writeValueAsString(user));    }}

Output:

{  "email" : "email"}{  "email" : "email",  "details" : "secret"}

It's look like jackson have horrible concept on very cool feature like @JsonView. The only way I discover to solve my problem is:

@JsonInclude(Include.NON_NULL)@Entitypublic class User {    public static interface BasicView {}    public static interface AdminView {}    ... id and others ...    @JsonView({BasicView.class, AdminView.class}) // And this for EVERY field    @Column    private String email;    @Transient    private transient Details details;    @JsonView(AdminView.class)    public Details getDetails() {        if (details == null) {            details = ... compute Details ...        }        return details;    }}public class UserDetailsAction {    private static final ObjectWriter writer = new ObjectMapper()        .disable(MapperFeature.DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION)        .writerWithView(User.BasicView.class);    private static final ObjectWriter writerAdmin = new ObjectMapper()        .disable(MapperFeature.DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION)        .writerWithView(User.AdminView.class);    public String getUserAsJson(User user) {        return writer.writeValueAsString(user);    }    public String getUserAsJsonForAdmin(User user) {        return writerAdmin.writeValueAsString(user);    }}

Maybe it's help some one. But I hope to find better solution and because doesn't accept my own answer.

EDIT: because interface can extends (multiple) interfaces, I can use:

public static interface AdminView extends BasicView {}

and just

@JsonView(BasicView.class)

instead of

@JsonView({BasicView.class, AdminView.class})
