Spring Data REST - registering a Jackson module for serialization
I have a working project based on the Spring Data REST example project, and I'm trying to do custom serialization using a Jackson module based on the wiki page.
Here's my Jackson module:
Code:
public class CustomModule extends SimpleModule {
public static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(CustomModule.class);
public CustomModule() {
super("CustomModule", new Version(1, 0, 0, null));
}
@Override
public void setupModule(SetupContext context) {
logger.debug("CustomModule.setupModule");
SimpleSerializers simpleSerializers = new SimpleSerializers();
simpleSerializers.addSerializer(new CustomDateTimeSerializer());
context.addSerializers(simpleSerializers);
}
}
The wiki page says:
Quote:
Any Module bean declared within the scope of your ApplicationContext will be picked up by the exporter and registered with its ObjectMapper.
I'm still pretty new to Spring, so I might just be putting my module bean definition in the wrong place; currently it's in src/main/resources/META-INF/spring-data-rest/shared.xml, which is imported from repositories-export.xml:
Code:
<bean id="customModule" class="org.hierax.wpa.schema.mapping.CustomModule" />
I don't see the log statement in setupModule, but I do see log output for other classes in the same package.
I'm using Spring Data REST 1.0.0.RC2.
