Configuring customer serializer via ObjectMapper

[Sasa Vilic]

Hi,

is there a way to pass configuration to customer serializer, for given ObjectMapper instance?

Background:

I have created custom UUID serializer/deserializer with idea that I want support both legacy/hex format and advanced efficient format in form of array of 2 long values (MSB and LSB).

My deserializer can read both format, based whenever first token is ARRAY_START or not.

But I have issue with configuring serializer. It only writes in hex format and I would like to configure it differently for particular ObjectMapper instance (when I know it is safe to used advanced format).

But I can't figure out how to pass configuration to serializer? Another option would be to override some configuration about types (i.e. UUID class) but I can't find way either to do it.

Do you have any suggestion?

Kind Regards

Slow reply, but...

I am not sure what you are asking? When registering your custom serializer via ObjectMapper, you will pass the specifically configured instance.

Or are you using annotations (`@JsonSerialize`)?

If the question is about how to change settings based on things, you may want to look into implementing `ContextualSerializer`: this method gets called with information on what property serializer is going to be used on -- and this gives access to annotations for the property (or detecting case of "root value", not referenced via property).
