Spring Data Pagination returns no results with JSONView

Question

I am using Spring data pagination in my REST Controller and returning Paged entity. I would like to control the data returned as JSON with the help of JSONViews.

Still cleaner is to tell Jackson to Serialize all props for a bean of type Page. To do that, you just have to declare to adapt slighly the Jackson BeanSerializer : com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.BeanSerializer Create a class that extends that BeanSerializer called PageSerialier and if the bean is of type Page<> DO NOT apply the property filtering.

As show in the code below, i just removed the filtering for Page instances :

public class MyPageSerializer extends BeanSerializer {

/**
 * MODIFIED By Gauthier PEEL
 */
@Override
protected void serializeFields(Object bean, JsonGenerator gen, SerializerProvider provider)
        throws IOException, JsonGenerationException {
    final BeanPropertyWriter[] props;
    // ADDED
    // ADDED
    // ADDED
    if (bean instanceof Page) {
        // for Page DO NOT filter anything so that @JsonView is passthrough at this level
        props = _props;
    } else {
        // ADDED
        // ADDED
        if (_filteredProps != null && provider.getActiveView() != null) {
            props = _filteredProps;
        } else {
            props = _props;
        }
    }

        // rest of the method unchanged
    }

    // inherited constructor removed for concision
}

Then you need to declare it to Jackson with a Module :

public class MyPageModule extends SimpleModule {

    @Override
    public void setupModule(SetupContext context) {

        context.addBeanSerializerModifier(new BeanSerializerModifier() {

            @Override
            public JsonSerializer modifySerializer(SerializationConfig config, BeanDescription beanDesc,
                    JsonSerializer serializer) {
                if (serializer instanceof BeanSerializerBase) {
                    return new MyPageSerializer ((BeanSerializerBase) serializer);
                }
                return serializer;

            }
        });
    }
}

Spring conf now : in your @Configuration create a new @Bean of the MyPageModule

@Configuration
public class WebConfigPage extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

    /**
     * To enable Jackson @JsonView to work with Page
     */
    @Bean
    public MyPageModule myPageModule() {
        return new MyPageModule();
    }

}

And you are done.
