A while ago I asked this question in Stackoverflow which helped me be build this spring boot app

At the moment I have created my own object mapper with a SimpleModule. Then using my object mapper I am serializing the Node object inside the Controller class and I am returning a ResponseEntity<String> based on the depth value that is passed in the request parameter.

What I want to achieve is to let Spring Boot do the serialization as it happens normaly. So from inside my Controller I want to return ResponseEntity<Node> and somehow replace Spring Boots ObjectMapper with mine and do the serialization using the depth request parameter.

Any ideas are more than welcomed.

Thanks in advance

In this case you probably would have to use `ThreadLocal` to store `depth` value. In controller you need to set it and read and decrement in serialiser. – Michał Ziober Jan 27 '20 at 07:57
But how will force Spring Boot to use my custom Object Mapper? – NikosDim Jan 27 '20 at 22:32
