5 Define reverse PropertyNameProcessor - ID: 1996152

Last Update: Comment added ( aalmiray )

Details:

As I understand it, a PropertyNameProcessor allows a JSON key to be matched
to a bean property name when deserializing JSON content to a bean.

However, it would be helpful to "close the circle", i.e. to have a way to
also map bean properties to JSON keys when generating JSON content from a
bean. Otherwise, round-trip (un)marshalling would be a problem.

Instead of defining a new interface, how about extending the existing
PropertyNameProcessor interface with a method that does the reverse
lookup?

(Use case: generate JSON from JAXB annotated classes, where fields have
annotations that specify a different name for the marshalled property.)

Date: 2008-06-29 20:18 Sender: aalmiray FIXED. deprecated get/setPropertyNameProcessor[Matcher] added get/set[Java\|Json]PropertyNameProcessor[Matcher] PropertyNameProcessor interface remains unchanged.
Date: 2008-06-19 07:08 Sender: w45p Yes, that would also be an elegant solution. However, in my case I found it more convenient to have them both in the same interface, for that would achieve a higher cohesion of the PropertyNameProcessor implementation. Either way, I'm looking forward to the next release!
Date: 2008-06-18 23:42 Sender: aalmiray Good idea. Actually it may not require another method but perhaps be handled in the same way filters are. Either you register a filter for JSON->Java parsing with JsonConfig.setJavaPropertyFilter(), or Java-> JSON with JsonConfig.setJsonPropertyFilter() We'll schedule it for the next release.
