Customizing ObjectMapper

[Gili]

Hi,

I'd like to register a Jackson deserializer for a 3rd-party class I cannot annotate. I believe the only way to do this is by customizing the ObjectMapper that Jackson uses. I tried injecting my own ObjectMapper instance using Guice but it looks like com.sun.jersey.json.impl.provider.entity.JacksonProviderProxy instantiates ObjectMapper directly.

How am I supposed to register custom (de)serializers for 3rd-party classes?

Thank you,
Gili

Hello Gili,

see
http://jersey.java.net/nonav/apidocs/latest/jersey/javax/ws/rs/ext/MessageBodyReader.html
and
http://jersey.java.net/nonav/apidocs/latest/jersey/javax/ws/rs/ext/MessageBodyWriter.html.

sample:

Answering my own question. On the server side, all you need to do is register a ContextResolve<ObjectMapper> as a JAX-RS provider and JacksonProviderProxy will use it:

@Provider
public class ObjectMapperProvider implements ContextResolver<ObjectMapper>
{
        @Override
        public ObjectMapper getContext(Class<?> type)
        {
                final ObjectMapper result = new ObjectMapper();
                SimpleModule module = new SimpleModule(getClass().getName(), new Version(1, 0, 0, null)).
                        addDeserializer(PhoneNumber.class, new PhoneNumberDeserializer()).addSerializer(
                        PhoneNumber.class, new PhoneNumberSerializer());
                result.registerModule(module);
                return result;
        }
}

On the client side you need to register the provider as follows:

ClientConfig.getClasses().add(ObjectMapperProvider.class);

I'm not sure how often getContext() is called, but I implemented mine to not create a new ObjectMapper each time:

@Provider

public class ObjectMapperProvider implements ContextResolver
{

   ObjectMapper mapper;

   public ObjectMapperProvider(){

       mapper = new ObjectMapper();

       // ... 

   }

   @Override

   public ObjectMapper getContext(Class<?> type) {

       return mapper;

   }

}

Answering my own question. On the server side, all you need to do is

                       addDeserializer(PhoneNumber.class, new
