JsonIgnoreProperties not working

I have the following simple class:

import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonIgnoreProperties;
@JsonIgnoreProperties({ "thirdField" })
public class Message {

    private TypeA type;
    private String producer;

//Getters and Setters

}

in my test class 

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.MapperFeature;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;

public class Test {
   public void testMethd() {
   ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
   objectMapper.configure(MapperFeature.USE_ANNOTATIONS, true);
   Class<T> instanceType = Message.class;

   String msgBody = "{\"producer\": \"clientApp\", \"type\": \"aType\", \"thirdField\": []}";
   objectMapper.readValue(msgBody, instanceType);
   }
}

All I am trying to do is to convert the above json string into Message class and ignore the 'thirdField'. But I keep getting

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.UnrecognizedPropertyException: Unrecognized field "thirdField" (class Message), not marked as ignorable (2 known properties: , "type", "producer"])

I found a Solution to this. Try to add 

@JsonSerialize(include= JsonSerialize.Inclusion.NON_EMPTY)

About your class 

@JsonSerialize(include= JsonSerialize.Inclusion.NON_EMPTY)
class ResponseModel {
 //your properties here
 @JsonIgnoreProperties("messageList","contactList","sender")
    var contactList= ArrayList<ContactModel>()
}

That will solve your issue buddy.

It didn't work for me any of the above answers, i found a workaround that I have reinitialized the object and values (copied the object).

You've mixed different versions of Jackson. Notice that you import JsonIgnoreProperties from org.codehaus.jackson.annotate (version 1.x) while you're using ObjectMapper from com.fasterxml.jackson.databind (version 2.x).

Try using the last Jackson version (2.4):

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnoreProperties
@JsonIgnoreProperties({"id"})

Here you can find an example where it's implement using version 2.4: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-hangman-app/index.html
