Java – @JsonIgnore with @Getter Annotation

jacksonjavajsonlombok

Can I use @JsonIgnore with @Getter annotation from lombok without explicitly define the getter, because I have to use this JsonIgnore while serializing the object but while deserializing, the JsonIgnore annotation must be ignored so the field in my object must not be null?

@Getter
@Setter
public class User {

    private userName;

    @JsonIgnore
    private password;
}

I know, just by define the JsonIgnore on the getter of password I can prevent my password to be serialized but for that, I have to explicitly define the getter thing that I don't want.
Any idea please, Any help will be appreciated.

To put the @JsonIgnore to the generated getter method, you can use onMethod = @__( @JsonIgnore ). This will generate the getter with the specific annotation. For more details check http://projectlombok.org/features/GetterSetter.html

@Getter
@Setter
public class User {

    private userName;

    @Getter(onMethod = @__( @JsonIgnore ))
    @Setter
    private password;
}
