Hi, Assuming this Sling Model (using Lombok's @Getter annotation)
@Getter @Model( adaptables = { SlingHttpServletRequest.class }, adapters = { MyModel.class, ComponentExporter.class }, resourceType = MyModel.RESOURCE_TYPE) @Exporter( name = ExporterConstants.SLING_MODEL_EXPORTER_NAME, extensions = ExporterConstants.SLING_MODEL_EXTENSION) public class MyModel implements ComponentExporter { static final String RESOURCE_TYPE = "myapp/components/mymodel"; @Inject private ResourceResolver resolver; @ChildResource private List<Resource> items; } When it this model is serialized via SlingModelExporter / Jackson, the resolver field is also exported via the created getResolver()) method. But serializing that does not always work: org.apache.sling.models.factory.ExportException: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidDefinitionException: No serializer found for class com.day.cq.wcm.core.impl.policies.ContentPolicyManagerImpl and no properties discovered to create BeanSerializer (to avoid exception, disable SerializationFeature.FAIL_ON_EMPTY_BEANS) (through reference chain: com.myapp.PageImpl[":items"]> [...] > com.myapp.MyModel["resolver"] >org.apache.sling.resourceresolver.impl.ResourceResolverImpl["propertyMap"] >java.util.HashMap["com.day.cq.wcm.core.impl.policies.ContentPolicyAdapterFactory.ContentPolicy"]) at org.apache.sling.models.jacksonexporter.impl.JacksonExporter.export(JacksonExporter.java:138) [org.apache.sling.models.jacksonexporter:1.1.2] at org.apache.sling.models.impl.ModelAdapterFactory.exportModel(ModelAdapterFactory.java:1333) [org.apache.sling.models.impl:1.5.4] I don't want to check each class I want to add to the propertyMap if it can be serialized or not; and a more serious problem is that serializing the resourceResolver and it's properyMap can leak a lot of information, which should be not get public. Do you see a way to prevent serialization of the ResourceResolver (and potentially other types as well) without touching the model classes?
