Is there any way to use GSON library with Spring Roo?

Spring Roo by default uses flexJSON which is probably not suitable for some issues.

Is there anyway to use GSON instead (expect the hard coding part) ?

Solution

  • There is no easy way to do it.

    Now, I can see to ways to archive it:

    1. As you say, make push-in of all JSON related methods and fix it by hand.
    2. Create you own Roo Add-on which make it via ITD.

    Depending on how many classes you need change (should be too many classes to worth it), the second option could be a good approach (also, then you can share it ;-) ). You can start from Roo add-on documentation.

    Good luck!
