[FIXED] How to hide a JsonProperty in the DTO?

Issue

I am using a DTO for both the insertion of an object and for the search that returns the data.

in particular, I was interested to understand if there is a way to hide some fields:

    private List <aDTO> sos;

    private List <aDTO> sosPast;

    private List <aDTO> sosPresentFuture;

sos is used in writing to insert a list of objects. in the research, I need two separate elements, one that returns the past objects, one that returns the present and/or future objects.

so in insertion, I will have to show only

    private List <aDTO> sos;

in the research, I will have to show only

    private List <aDTO> sosPast;
    private List <aDTO> sosPresentFuture;

(In research the problem was solved by

    @Mapping(target = "sos", ignore = true)

in the mapper)

Now I need something to hide the two lists (sosPast and sosPresentFuture) in order to leave only the sos list.

Solution

I seem to have solved the problem by doing this:

@JsonProperty("sosPast")
@ReadOnlyProperty
@ApiModelProperty(hidden = true)
private List<aDTO> sosPast;

@JsonProperty("sosPresentFuture")
@ReadOnlyProperty
@ApiModelProperty(hidden = true)
private List <aDTO> sosPresentFuture;
