AlternateTypeRule is not working with @JsonIgnoreProperties annotation

[italobb]

I'm trying to hide some properties from my classes combining the AlternateTypeRule and @JsonIgnoreProperties (from Jackson), but the result is not as expected. The workaround is to use @JsonIgnore at property level. I'm suspecting that the type level annotations are being ignored, because I tested @JsonIgnoreType and didn't work.

Example

It was expected that the rule below should hide the password property, but it is not happening.

class User { 
    String name;
    String password;
}

@JsonIgnoreProperties(value = { "password" })
class UserJson extends User {} 

// This rule doesn't hide the password property
AlternateTypeRule rule = alternate(User.class, UserJson.class); 

Workaround

Using an annotation at property level... it works!

class UserJson extends User {
    @JsonIgnore String password;
}

@italobb @JsonIgnoreProperties isn't supported for a few of reasons the main reason being that currently the models are a union of serializable and de-serializable properties (depending on how the model is being used). To be specific when a model is used for request and response, the properties are a union of the two.

Given that there is no way to separate the request and response models currently, its not super useful supporting this until we solve #807.
