How to access default jackson serialization in a custom serializer

by

A BeanSerializerModifier will provide you access to the default serialization.

Inject a default serializer into the custom serializer

public class MyClassSerializer extends JsonSerializer<MyClass> {
    private final JsonSerializer<Object> defaultSerializer;

    public MyClassSerializer(JsonSerializer<Object> defaultSerializer) {
        this.defaultSerializer = checkNotNull(defaultSerializer);
    }

    @Override
    public void serialize(MyClass myclass, JsonGenerator gen, SerializerProvider provider) throws IOException {
        if (myclass.getSomeProperty() == true) {
            provider.setAttribute("special", true);
        }
        defaultSerializer.serialize(myclass, gen, provider);
    }
}

Create a BeanSerializerModifier for MyClass

public class MyClassSerializerModifier extends BeanSerializerModifier {
    @Override
    public JsonSerializer<?> modifySerializer(SerializationConfig config, BeanDescription beanDesc, JsonSerializer<?> serializer) {
        if (beanDesc.getBeanClass() == MySpecificClass.class) {
            return new MyClassSerializer((JsonSerializer<Object>) serializer);
        }
        return serializer;
    }
}

Register the serializer modifier

ObjectMapper om = new ObjectMapper()
        .registerModule(new SimpleModule()
                .setSerializerModifier(new MyClassSerializerModifier()));
