JMSSerializerBundle complex generated value

I need implement RESTful API for my site on symfony 2, so i use FOSRestBundle + JMSSerializerBundle

I have such serializer yml for my entity:

Acme\DemoBundle\Entity\Product:
    exclusion_policy: ALL
    accessor_order: custom
    custom_accessor_order: [id, title]
    properties:
        id:
            expose: true

        title:
            expose: true

    virtual_properties:
        getMainPhoto:
            serialized_name: photo

The problem is that getMainPhoto return me url to full sized image. I want preprocess this url before sending response to api client where i can generate new url to resized version of such image. I already have service in sf2 which can do this job:

$resized_url = $someService->generateResizedUrl($item->getMainPhoto(), 640, 480);

But i don't know how can i use this service with JMSSerializer. Maybe there is some callbacks for FOSRestBundle\JMSSerializerBundle just before it send response?

You can exclude the original url, and then add the resized url using http://jmsyst.com/libs/serializer/master/event_system#serializer-post-serialize event.

You have to write a listener that listen when "Product" instances are serialized.

Have a look at the documentation. There are is a number of events and/or annotations you can use to hook into the serialization process.
