Use @JsonView to exclude (like @JsonIgnore) with play frameworks default json writer?

Question

It seems you can\'t mix @JsonIgnore and @JsonView. I want to hide a field by default, but show it in some cases.

Basically I\'ve got this setup :-

class

Once you have an object mapper, you can effectively use it in the same way as you are currently using play.libs.Json.toJson(parent), and get exactly what you want.

So whenever you were previously using play.libs.Json.toJson(parent), just use new ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString() and you won't get your secret.
