Support for custom Jackson @JsonView within Spring MVC
Allows per-method support of custom views within Spring MVC methods, by annotating with @ResponseView.
For example:
@RequestMapping("/books")
public @ResponseBody List<Book> getBooks()
{
return data;
}
@RequestMapping("/books/summaries")
@ResponseView(SummaryView.class)
public @ResponseBody List<Book> getBookSummaries()
{
return data;
}
In the above scenario, calls to /books recieve the entire Book model, while calls to /books/summaries only recieve properties annotated with Jackson's @JsonView(SummaryView.class) annotation.
