Jackson Databind Annotation to ignore serialization not working with particular variable name (like dLogHeader)

Describe the bug Any annotation to ignore property is not working with a particular variable name is used.

Version information 2.11.2 (Spring Boot 2.1.3.RELEASE)

To Reproduce Below does not work, tried with @JsonIgnore @JsonIgnoreProperty @JsonBackReference. The value gets serialized in json always, no matter whatever annotation is used.

@JsonBackReference
private ClassName dLogHeader;

But if the variable name is changed then it starts working and does not serialize it.

@JsonBackReference
private ClassName logHeader;

I can not reproduce this without test case, but I suspect that your problem is with mismatch between property name and matching getter/setter method: there is no getter/setter that could result in implied name like dLogHeader. If so, you may need to add another @JsonIgnore.

I am not sure why you are using @JsonBackReference here -- it is only to be used coupled with @JsonManagedReference.

I am using Lombok so getter/setter are being generated using @Data annotation.

Regarding the @JsonBackReference, this is being used with JPA relationship so yes it is coupled with @JsonManagedReference. I event tried @JsonIgnore but that is not working as well.

Ok. As I said I would need an actual test case -- and one where Lombok definitions are resolved (i.e. test can not depend on Lombok processing). But I would suggest first looking for Lombok documentation to see if there is a way to force addition of @JsonIgnore also on getter for this property. I think it is likely that use of this particular naming convention is the problem here as the getter name Lombok generated is probably not the one that would match.
