I've solved my problem extending ResponseEntity like this :
public class ResponseViewEntity<T> extends ResponseEntity<ContainerViewEntity<T>> {
private Class<? extends BaseView> view;
public ResponseViewEntity(HttpStatus statusCode) {
super(statusCode);
}
public ResponseViewEntity(T body, HttpStatus statusCode) {
super(new ContainerViewEntity<T>(body, BaseView.class), statusCode);
}
public ResponseViewEntity(T body, Class<? extends BaseView> view, HttpStatus statusCode) {
super(new ContainerViewEntity<T>(body, view), statusCode);
}
}
and ContainerViewEntity encapsulate the object and the selected view
public class ContainerViewEntity<T> {
private final T object;
private final Class<? extends BaseView> view;
public ContainerViewEntity(T object, Class<? extends BaseView> view) {
this.object = object;
this.view = view;
}
public T getObject() {
return object;
}
public Class<? extends BaseView> getView() {
return view;
}
public boolean hasView() {
return this.getView() != null;
}
}
After that, we have convert only the object with the good view.
public class JsonViewMessageConverter extends MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter {
@Override
protected void writeInternal(Object object, HttpOutputMessage outputMessage)
throws IOException, HttpMessageNotWritableException {
if (object instanceof ContainerViewEntity && ((ContainerViewEntity) object).hasView()) {
writeView((ContainerViewEntity) object, outputMessage);
} else {
super.writeInternal(object, outputMessage);
}
}
protected void writeView(ContainerViewEntity view, HttpOutputMessage outputMessage)
throws IOException, HttpMessageNotWritableException {
JsonEncoding encoding = this.getJsonEncoding(outputMessage.getHeaders().getContentType());
ObjectWriter writer = this.getWriterForView(view.getView());
JsonGenerator jsonGenerator = writer.getFactory().createGenerator(outputMessage.getBody(), encoding);
try {
writer.writeValue(jsonGenerator, view.getObject());
} catch (IOException ex) {
throw new HttpMessageNotWritableException("Could not write JSON: " + ex.getMessage(), ex);
}
}
private ObjectWriter getWriterForView(Class<?> view) {
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.configure(MapperFeature.DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION, false);
return mapper.writer().withView(view);
}
}
And to finish, I enable the converter
<mvc:annotation-driven>
<mvc:message-converters>
<bean class="wc.handler.view.JsonViewMessageConverter"/>
</mvc:message-converters>
</mvc:annotation-driven>
And that's it, I can select the View in the controller
@Override
@RequestMapping(value = "/get_by_id/{accountId}", method = RequestMethod.GET, headers = "Accept=application/json")
public ResponseViewEntity<Account> getById(@PathVariable(value = "accountId") Long accountId) throws ServiceException {
return new ResponseViewEntity<Account>(this.getAccountSrv().getById(accountId), PublicView.class, HttpStatus.OK);
}
