Class JacksonContentFilter

java.lang.Object

io.fluxzero.sdk.common.serialization.jackson.JacksonContentFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

ContentFilter

public class JacksonContentFilter
extends Object
implements ContentFilter

A ContentFilter implementation that uses Jackson to filter content dynamically for a specific User.

This class enables context-aware filtering based on FilterContent annotated handler methods in the value’s class. These handlers can compute and return a filtered version of an object based on the current user context.

Filtering is performed via Jackson serialization, where a custom serializer is installed to intercept object serialization and invoke the appropriate content filtering logic.

How it works

• A JacksonContentFilter.FilteringSerializer is registered with Jackson using a BeanSerializerModifier.
• The serializer tries to invoke a FilterContent-annotated method using the HandlerInspector and passes in the root object and current User (via parameter resolvers).
• If filtering returns a different value, that value is serialized instead.

Constructor Details

JacksonContentFilter

public JacksonContentFilter(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper mapper)

Creates a new content filter using the provided ObjectMapper.

The mapper will be configured with:

• ALWAYS inclusion policy (to serialize nulls)
• A JacksonContentFilter.FilteringSerializer for applying FilterContent annotations
• Disabled JsonIgnore handling, to ensure all fields are considered for filtering

Parameters:

mapper - an ObjectMapper used for filtering and serialization

Method Details

filterContent

public <T> T filterContent(T value,
 User viewer)

Description copied from interface: ContentFilter

Filters the given value based on the current viewer (user) context. If a FilterContent handler exists in the object's class, it will be invoked to produce a user-specific view of the data.

Specified by:

filterContent in interface ContentFilter

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the content object

Parameters:

value - the original object

viewer - the user viewing the content

Returns:

the filtered version of the object, or the original object if filtering failed or was not applicable
