I think what you bumped into was MapperFeature.ALLOW_EXPLICIT_PROPERTY_RENAMING
(defaulting to false) which governs whether explicitly named properties (ones with `@JsonProperty`) are renamed or not. Default assumption is that if you have explicit denoted name to use, that should stick (otherwise no overrides were possible). However, if you want, you can allow renaming even in those cases. So you want to enable this feature. It may even be renamed for individual properties, although presumably in that case explicit renaming may be simpler. Similarly it's not clear whether you should use `@JsonProperty`, unless it is to increase visibility. I suspect that plain `@JsonProperty` with no String (defaulting to "") should be renamed regardless, but haven't tested it (if it's not that seems like a flow as that case does not specify explicit name). -+ Tatu +- On Thu, Aug 25, 2016 at 6:39 AM, JP <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Tatu, > > Thanks for the tip about PropertyNamingStrategy! > > However, I couldn't get it to work...
