How do you adjust json config in Quarkus? - jackson

Question

I am attempting to add a mixin to the Jackson's ObjectMapper in a Quarkus project. I have some code that looks likes this:
#Provider
public class ObjectMapperContextResolver implements ContextResolver<ObjectMapper> {
private final ObjectMapper mapper;
public ObjectMapperContextResolver() {
this.mapper = createObjectMapper();
}
#Override
public ObjectMapper getContext(Class<?> type) {
return mapper;
}
private ObjectMapper createObjectMapper() {
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.addMixIn(MyModel.class, MyMixin.class);
return mapper;
}
}
This code worked perfectly in a Thorntail project I had. For some reason, Quarkus isn't picking this up, and the object mapper is not affected. Is there something different I have to do with the Quarkus CDI?

Apparently I was a little confused about the implementation. I should be using the Json-B api. I figured out how to change the configuration for Json-B and posted it below.

Answer 1

Instead of providing an ObjectMapper, you can provide a JsonbConfig so that you can customize serialization/deserialization.
Here is what I ended up using:
#Provider
public class JsonConfig implements ContextResolver<Jsonb> {
#Override
public Jsonb getContext(Class type) {
JsonbConfig config = new JsonbConfig();
config.withPropertyVisibilityStrategy(new IgnoreMethods());
return JsonbBuilder.create(config);
}
}
class IgnoreMethods implements PropertyVisibilityStrategy {
#Override
public boolean isVisible(Field field) {
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean isVisible(Method method) {
return false;
}
}
This allows you to customize your JsonbConfig. Here, mine specifically prevents access of methods for serialization/deserialization. On Quarkus with Panache, this prevents isPersistent from appearing in your JSON output.

In addition to the correct answer of #jsolum, here is a working provider which uses the fasterxml-annotations to check visibility of fields and methods:
#Provider
public class JsonConfig implements ContextResolver<Jsonb> {
#Override
public Jsonb getContext(Class aClass) {
JsonbConfig config = new JsonbConfig();
config.withPropertyVisibilityStrategy(new PropertyVisibilityStrategy() {
#Override
public boolean isVisible(Field field) {
JsonIgnore annotation = field.getAnnotation(JsonIgnore.class);
return annotation == null || !annotation.value();
}
#Override
public boolean isVisible(Method method) {
JsonIgnore annotation = method.getAnnotation(JsonIgnore.class);
return annotation == null || !annotation.value();
}
});
return JsonbBuilder.create(config);
}
}

Answer 3

JsonbConfig in Quarkus can be customized providing an ApplicationScoped instance of JsonbConfigCustomizer (taking #jsolum's answer into account):
#ApplicationScoped
public class JsonbFormattingConfig implements JsonbConfigCustomizer {
#Override
public void customize(JsonbConfig jsonbConfig) {
jsonbConfig.withPropertyVisibilityStrategy(new IgnoreMethods());
}
}
class IgnoreMethods implements PropertyVisibilityStrategy {
#Override
public boolean isVisible(Field field) {
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean isVisible(Method method) {
return false;
}
}
