Title Body

I have a third party domain object that I wish to serialize to JSON using Jackson. There are a lot of properties on this accessible via public getters, but I am only interested in a very small subset of these. Since this is a third party object, I went with the mixin route. However, I couldn't find a good way to exclude everything from the original class other than the ones defined on the mixin interface. I tried to specify the @JsonIgnoreProperties on the mixin class, but it quickly gets out of hand with large number of properties to ignore. Any workarounds? Thanks in advance! EDIT: Adding some code public class SpecialObject { private String name; private Integer id; public String getName() { return name; } public Integer getId() { return id; } public String getFoo() { return "foo"; } } public interface SpecialObjectMixin { @JsonProperty String getName(); } I was hoping that I will only get name in the serialized JSON. BTW, I am using this for restful calls via cxf-jaxrs with Jackson as the provider.
