Yes, there are "context attributes" that were added to reduce/remove
need for passing things using ThreadLocals.
You can specify baseline attributes via ObjectMapper, but usually
they are set on ObjectReader and ObjectWriter
which are light-weight reconfigurable entities constructed from
ObjectMapper (configuration of which may not be
changed on per-call basis).
So, something like:
ObjectWriter w = mapper.writer() // or, `writerFor(type)` to cache
lookup for serializer
.withAttribute("key", value);
w.writeValue(new File("foo.json"), thingToSerialize);
Serialize can then call `provider.getAttribute("key")` to locate active value.
I hope this helps,
