Object member variables not getting serialized

Question

I have a class Test which has a member variable of type NestedTest.

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonView;

class Test{

    String s1;

    @JsonView(ConvertView.class)
    int a;

    @JsonView(ConvertView.class)
    NestedTest nestedObj;
}

class NestedTest{
    int n;
    String s;
}

After serializing an object of class Test, the field nestedObj is showing to be null. I am guessing this is because I have disabled default view inclusion which is being applied on fields of NestedTest object as well. If this is the case, how do I prevent it? I want to disable inclusion of fields which doesn't have a view attached to them only for the outer class and not the fields of Object member variables.

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectWriter;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.MapperFeature;
.........
.........
Test test =new Test();
........
........
ObjectWriter writer = new ObjectMapper().disable(MapperFeature.DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION).writer();
String s= writer.withView(ConvertView.class).writeValueAsString(test);
System.out.println(s);

Answer 1

Specify the @JsonView on class level for the NestedTest:

@JsonView(ConvertView.class)
class NestedTest{
    int n;
    String s;
}

For your custom classes you need to specify the @JsonView for every class in the tree, which fields you want to make visible, to the view.
