Spring & Jackson: Exclude all properties, but specify certain ones to include

I have the following Spring Controller Declaration

@RequestMapping(value = "/pub/searchparm", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = {"application/json", "application/xml" })
    public SearchResult search(HttpServletRequest request) {

public class SearchResult {

   private int size;

   private Collection<result> results;

...

}

I need to make Jackson default to ignore all the properties on the objects in the Collection by default just for this controller method.

I have looked at @JsonView, @JsonFilter... etc. Jackson includes all properties from the object by default but I have sensitive information that I want to expose only from secure urls. This url is public and I only want some of the properties exposed.

You can use Jackson @JsonView support in Spring MVC. Note that Spring MVC support chose to set MapperFeature.DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION, so that only @JsonView annotated attributes are serialized.

See this blog post on Jackson support in Spring MVC.
