Spring Boot Jackson does not serialize timestamps in Long

I'm using Spring boot 2.3.1 version in my project. JDK version 11. I used Instant to return date. But I wanted to return date in Long, not in text format. That's why I configured Jackson. But, Spring Boot generates timestamps in double instead of long. I configured Jackson in application.yml file with

jackson:
date-format: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.util.ISO8601DateFormat
serialization:
  write-dates-as-timestamps: on
deserialization:
  read_date_timestamps_as_nanoseconds: on
time-zone: 'UTC'

But when receive timestamps in nanos they are not in Long type, They are in Double like=1593679103.899854000

How can be fixed it?

Spring's Jackson converts types by default. In order to change type, conversions need to override the default configuration. The question above can be fixed by the following configuration.

@Bean
public JavaTimeModule javaTimeModule() {
var javaTimeModule = new JavaTimeModule();
javaTimeModule.addSerializer(Instant.class, new InstantToLongSerializer());
return javaTimeModule;
}

static class InstantToLongSerializer extends JsonSerializer<Instant> {

@Override
public void serialize(Instant value, JsonGenerator gen, SerializerProvider serializers)
    throws IOException {
  gen.writeNumber(value.toEpochMilli());
}
}
