[Json-rpc-java] Serialized object properties - Annotations

[Tony Murphy]

Thanks for your reply Dan. Think it might impact other parts of system though as these business objects are persisted using hibernate and some are in the servlet session and I'd like them to be fully serializable then

Why not make them transient variables.. They will not be serialized when
the object is passed back to the caller..

I've just started using JSON-RPC-Java and I think it's great.

I did have one question - is there a way to define what object
properties get serialized? I think it would be useful.

For example:

I return a List of Orders to a customer, some of the properties in the
Order object may not be for the customer eyes (e.g.
customerServiceNotes)

public class Order {
    private String orderNumber;
    private String description;
    private String customerServiceNotes;
    ...

    public String getOrderNumber() {
       return order;
    }
  
    public String getDescription() {
       return description;
    }

        /**
         * Don't want the user seeing these!
         */
         @JSON_NO_SERIALIZE
         public String getCustomerServiceNotes() {
         }
}

Maybe an annotation could be used to tell JSON-RPC-Java not to serialize
a property?

I had a look at http://flexjson.sourceforge.net/ and it helps explain
the issue
