Why jackson is serializing transient member also?

Question

I am serializing a POJO into JSON using Jackson 2.1.4 but I want to ignore a particular field from getting serialized. I used transient but still it is serializing that element.

Answer 1

I can't make comments so complete the previous response here, changing the (now) deprecated method setVisibilityChecker and adding a missing clause for booleans:

mapper.setVisibility(
    mapper.getSerializationConfig().
    getDefaultVisibilityChecker().
    withFieldVisibility(JsonAutoDetect.Visibility.ANY).
    withGetterVisibility(JsonAutoDetect.Visibility.NONE).
    withIsGetterVisibility(JsonAutoDetect.Visibility.NONE)
);
