Question regarding Kotlin Properties

[tamirda]

Hello!

I have a question regarding naming conventions in Kotlin and how jackson-databind handles them.

According to https://kotlinlang.org/docs/java-to-kotlin-interop.html#properties , Kotlin automatically creates getter and setters with the names "get"/"set" + PropertyName.

However, for security purposes, I want to use ProGuard, which will rename these getters/setters into mangled name.

This raises an issue with the package, as the package tries to locate getters/setters by appending "get"/"set" to the property name.

This eventually causes a crash/null assignment/unexpected behavior of the app.

However, I saw that FasterXML has a "fallback" to look for properties in the Kotlin Metadata when it doesn't find a JsonAnnotation:

https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-module-kotlin/tree/2.15/src/main/kotlin/com/fasterxml/jackson/module/kotlin

Kotlin Metadata also includes the signatures of the getters and setters of the class' fields.

Unfortunately, BeanSerializer doesn't use this fallback and do not initialize the value (since the getter/setter is proguarded)

Is there a way to make it look in the Kotlin Metadata instead of appending "get"/"set" to the property name?

Thank you very much!
