Jackson ignore all properties of superclass from external library

Question

I am developing using an ORM where I extend a base orm class to create tables.

For example:

public class Person extends DbItem {
    @JsonIgnore

You want to do custom field level serialization. This will be a bit more work to maintain your code base, but is by far the simplest solution. See Jackson JSON custom serialization for certain fields for implementation details.
