The custom provider can be as simple as this:
package mypackage;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationFeature;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs.json.JacksonJaxbJsonProvider;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.module.jaxb.JaxbAnnotationModule;
public class CustomJsonProvider extends JacksonJaxbJsonProvider {
// this class exists so we can customize the object mapper
// and therefore the way that the JSON is produced
public CustomJsonProvider() {
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.disable(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES);
JaxbAnnotationModule jaxbModule = new JaxbAnnotationModule();
mapper.registerModule(jaxbModule);
this._mapperConfig.setMapper(mapper);
}
And then in the configuration file, it looks like this:
<jaxrs:server id="restServer" address="/rest">
<jaxrs:serviceBeans>
...
</jaxrs:serviceBeans>
<jaxrs:providers>
<bean id="jaxbProvider" class="mypackage.CustomJsonProvider"/>
</jaxrs:providers>
</jaxrs:server>
The jaxb annotation and providers needed to get built from github:
