Custom Jackson Object Template
I have a use case where I need to support two sets of JSON output, one with and without nice names for a JSON property. So I decided to set up my ObjectMapper so that it ignores the @JsonProperty ("pretty name") annotation on the fields and uses the field property names. In this case, you need the following JSON output
{"result":{"data":[{"totalUsers":12345,"totalBooks":883}]}}
JSON output with nice names would like to look like this
{"result":{"data":[{"Total Users":12345,"Total Books":883}]}}
My ObjectMapper config code looks like
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.setSerializationInclusion(Include.NON_EMPTY);
mapper.setSerializationInclusion(Include.NON_NULL);
mapper.configure(MapperFeature.USE_WRAPPER_NAME_AS_PROPERTY_NAME, true);
mapper.configure(SerializationFeature.WRAP_ROOT_VALUE, true);
mapper.configure(MapperFeature.USE_ANNOTATIONS, false);
mapper.setVisibility(PropertyAccessor.FIELD, Visibility.NONE)
.setVisibility(PropertyAccessor.GETTER, Visibility.ANY);
I've looked at several other answers on SO that didn't work for me. I am getting NPE. See the following stacktrace file

The problem is with this line of code in
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.introspect.POJOPropertiesCollector._renameWithWrappers(POJOPropertiesCollector.java:728)
where _annotationIntrospector is null
PropertyName wrapperName = _annotationIntrospector.findWrapperName(member);
It doesn't really hurt what I have to do to get things done. Any advice? Thank.

A small example to show the solution for your use case with mixins:
class Data {
int totalUsers;
int totalBooks;
}
...
class DataMixin {
@JsonProperty("Total Users")
int totalUsers;
@JsonProperty("Total Books")
int totalBooks;
}
...
Jackson 2.0 - 2.4 (deprecated in 2.5)
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
if (pretty) {
mapper.addMixInAnnotations(Data.class, DataMixin.class);
}
Jackson 2.5+
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
if (pretty) {
mapper.addMixin(Data.class, DataMixin.class);
}
