Filter nested objects using Jackson's BeanPropertyFilter

Question

I have the following objects:

@JsonFilter(\"myFilter\")
public class Person {
    private Name name;
    private int age;
    public Name getName() {return n         


        

Answer 1

Ok, figured it out. Varargs would have made this a bit prettier, but oh well. Just hope I don't have two inner beans which have properties with the same name. I wouldn't be able to make the distinction between the two

    FilterProvider filters = new SimpleFilterProvider()
            .addFilter("myFilter", SimpleBeanPropertyFilter
                    .filterOutAllExcept(new HashSet(Arrays
                            .asList(new String[] { "name", "firstName" }))));
