How do I disable fail on empty beans in Jackson

Question

Using jackson 2 1  how do I disable the fail on empty beans that the error message seems to want me to disable    I m assuming this is just the simplest thing in the world  but hell it is late and I haven t been able to find a simple tutorial or anything particularly obvious from the api  SerializationFactory  Why would they make it so unintuitive and then make the error message seem so straightforward   Although I do like the error message  I mean  it is better than an NPE   I m assuming there is a way to do this using annotations - but I m not keen on using them at all for the simplistic work I m doing

You can also probably annotate the class with  JsonIgnoreProperties ignoreUnknown true  to ignore the fields undefined in the class

You can do this per class or globally  I believe   For per class  try  JsonSerialize above class declaration   For a mapper  here s one example   ObjectMapper mapper   new ObjectMapper    mapper configure SerializationFeature FAIL ON EMPTY BEANS  false      do various things  perhaps  String someJsonString   mapper writeValueAsString someClassInstance   SomeClass someClassInstance   mapper readValue someJsonString  SomeClass class    The StackOverflow link below also has an example for a Spring project   For REST with Jersey  I don t remember off the top off my head  but I believe it s similar     Couple of links I dug up   edited 1st link due to Codehaus shutting down     https   web archive org web 20150513164332 https   jira codehaus org browse JACKSON-201 Jackson serializationConfig

If you wish to get JSON object without any extra fields - please add this annotation to your class  it worked perfect for me    JsonIgnoreProperties   hibernateLazyInitializer    handler      You can also add in your application properties file this row  but it will add an extra field to your JSON   spring jackson serialization FAIL ON EMPTY BEANS false

You can also get the same issue if your class doesn t contain any public methods properties   I normally have dedicated DTOs for API requests and responses  declared public  but forgot in one case to make the methods public as well - which caused the  empty  bean in the first place

Adding a solution here for a different problem  but one that manifests with the same error    Take care when constructing json on the fly  as api responses or whatever  to escape literal double quotes in your string members  You may be consuming your own malformed json
