How do I disable fail_on_empty_beans in Jackson?

Question

Using jackson 2.1, how do I disable the fail_on_empty beans that the error message seems to want me to disable?

I\'m assuming this is just the simplest

Answer 1

If you wish to get JSON object without any extra fields - please add this annotation to your class, it worked perfect for me.

@JsonIgnoreProperties({"hibernateLazyInitializer", "handler"})

You can also add in your application.properties file this row, but it will add an extra field to your JSON.

spring.jackson.serialization.FAIL_ON_EMPTY_BEANS=false
