How to ignore JSON properties in a effective way by remapping Entity into another JsonClass?

Recently something has been bugging me surrounding how to customize a JSON Response. So, here's the problem that I'm facing...

This is the entity class.

@Table(name="business")

public class Business {

private String var1;
private String var2;
private String var3;
private String var4;
}

This is the response class that I will eventually return to the client.

public class businessResponse {

private Business business;
}

So, if I need only var1 and var2 returned, what should I do. I can @JsonIgnore on the POJO, but I don't want to do that, as some other response might well need them. I have also tried @JsonIgnoreProperty({"var3","var4}) on the response class and it didn't work.

Can anyone suggest a solution to achieve this thing? I am new to Hibernate and Spring Boot, so a little help would really work.

You should use @JsonIgnoreProperties instead of @JsonIgnoreProperty on business field in BusinessResponse instead of BusinessResponse class

public class BusinessResponse {

   @JsonIgnoreProperties({"var3", "var4" })
   private Business business;
}
