Can't make Jackson and Lombok work together

Question

I am experimenting in combining Jackson and Lombok. Those are my classes:

package testelombok;

import com.fasterxml         


        

Answer 1

I was having issues with getting Lombok to not add the ConstructorProperies annotation so went the other way and disabled Jackson from looking at that annotation.

The culprit is JacksonAnnotationIntrospector.findCreatorAnnotation. Notice:

if (_cfgConstructorPropertiesImpliesCreator
            && config.isEnabled(MapperFeature.INFER_CREATOR_FROM_CONSTRUCTOR_PROPERTIES)

Also notice JacksonAnnotationIntrospector.setConstructorPropertiesImpliesCreator:

public JacksonAnnotationIntrospector setConstructorPropertiesImpliesCreator(boolean b)
{
    _cfgConstructorPropertiesImpliesCreator = b;
    return this;
}

So two options, either set the MapperFeature.INFER_CREATOR_FROM_CONSTRUCTOR_PROPERTIES to false or create a JacksonAnnotationIntrospector set setConstructorPropertiesImpliesCreator to false and set this AnnotationIntrospector into the ObjectMapper via ObjectMapper.setAnnotationIntrospector.

Notice a couple things, I am using Jackson 2.8.10 and in that version MapperFeature.INFER_CREATOR_FROM_CONSTRUCTOR_PROPERTIES does not exist. I am not sure in which version of Jackson it was added. So if it is not there, use the JacksonAnnotationIntrospector.setConstructorPropertiesImpliesCreator mechanism.
