@EnableHypermediaSupport is not compatible with Spring Boot Jackson settings [SPR-13738]

[spring-projects-issues]

Endre Czirbesz opened SPR-13738 and commented

In my project, I'm using Spring Boot 1.3.0 and Hateoas 0.19.

I would like to serialize dates as strings, so in my configuration file I have spring.jackson.serialization.write-dates-as-timestamps=false.

If I use @EnableHypermediaSupport, the dates get serialized to longs.

It seems that enabling hypermedia support always creates a _halObjectMapper bean (), which does not care about these settings.

I even have

@Bean
@Primary
public ObjectMapper jacksonObjectMapper(final Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder builder) {
    return builder.createXmlMapper(false).build();
}

to enforce these setting, which works fine everywhere else, except for the returned resources, which are always got serialized using this _halObjectMapper.

Affects: 4.2.3

I'm afraid this is the wrong issue tracker, since it's just for the core Spring Framework project.

Spring HATEOAS tracks its issues on GitHub, so please report this at https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-hateoas/issues - sorry for the inconvenience...
