Method Detail

setObjectMapper

public void setObjectMapper(ObjectMapper objectMapper)

Set the ObjectMapper for this view. If not set, a default ObjectMapper is used.

Setting a custom-configured ObjectMapper is one way to take further control of the JSON serialization process. For example, an extended SerializerFactory can be configured that provides custom serializers for specific types. The other option for refining the serialization process is to use Jackson's provided annotations on the types to be serialized, in which case a custom-configured ObjectMapper is unnecessary.

getObjectMapper

public ObjectMapper getObjectMapper()

Return the underlying ObjectMapper for this view.

setPrettyPrint

public void setPrettyPrint(boolean prettyPrint)

Whether to use the DefaultPrettyPrinter when writing JSON. This is a shortcut for setting up an ObjectMapper as follows:

 ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
 mapper.configure(SerializationFeature.INDENT_OUTPUT, true);
 converter.setObjectMapper(mapper);
