Use class name as root key for JSON Jackson serialization

Question

Suppose I have a pojo:

import org.codehaus.jackson.map.*;

public class MyPojo {
    int id;
    public int getId()
    { return this.id; }

    public void

I'm not using jackson, but searching I found this configuration that seems to be what you want: WRAP_ROOT_VALUE

Feature that can be enabled to make root value (usually JSON Object but can be any type) wrapped within a single property JSON object, where key as the "root name", as determined by annotation introspector (esp. for JAXB that uses @XmlRootElement.name) or fallback (non-qualified class name). Feature is mostly intended for JAXB compatibility.

Default setting is false, meaning root value is not wrapped.

So that you can configure mapper:

objectMapper.configure(SerializationConfig.Feature.WRAP_ROOT_VALUE, true);

I hope it helps you...
