Jackson: Ignore parent class properties

Question

Is there any way I can tell Jackson to ignore properties from parent class while serializing a child class?


    class Parent{
      private String parentProperty1;
      private String parentProperty2;
      //getter setter
    }

    @IgnoreParentProperties // I am expecting something like this
    class Child extends Parent{
      private String childProperty1;
      //getter setter
    }

In addition to Views that work well, you can also use @JsonIgnoreProperties to list names of properties to ignore; this can include parent properties as well.

Define & use a JSON view which omits the inherited fields.

Seems a better solution :) Thnx :) – Moinul Hossain Dec 30 '11 at 06:27
This solution works fine, but `@JsonView` cannot combine with `@JsonProperty` directly. Solution: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41205158/combine-jackson-jsonview-and-jsonproperty – Mincong Huang May 29 '18 at 11:13
