Integrating with Jackson's Views

[Ben Kuhl]

Is it possible to use Jackson's view functionality using annotations in accordance with this library?

For instance, is it possible to do something like...

    @JsonView(Views.DefaultView.class)

    public static Room send(String event, Object data) {

        return room.send(event, data);

    }

I've never seen that annotation and didn't do special treatment for that. what does it do?

@JsonIgnore in Jackson is a global ignore annotation, so Jackson will always ignore the property or method that annotation is on.  A view is a way of hiding specific fields under different circumstances.  Here's the docs on it: http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonJsonViews

Actually, Jackson is internally used to serialize/deserialize string to json. I haven't tried but you may be possible to use those annotations to pojos not handlers. There is no guarantee that Jackson's annotations are supported yet publicly, but options for serialization/deserialization like inbound/outbound on browser side will be provided someday. So, try it out and let me know how it goes.

Sorry I forgot to update this thread... Jackson Views work great out of the box.  I'm using them to send requests and replying to requests.

    @JsonView({Views.ManagerView.class})

    public Dashboard getDashboard(@Data String uuid) {

        Workflow workflow = WorkflowService.getWorkflow(uuid);

        return new Dashboard(workflow);

    }
