杰克逊未能序列化空Double

Question

I am trying to serialize an object into an array and Jackson fails to do so with NPE.

I am expecting something like [1, null, 10] in the response, but do not understand why Jackson throws NPE instead of serializing a null value.

@JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.ARRAY)
public static class PointTO {
    private long x;
    private Double y;
    private int volume;

    public PointTO(long x, Double y, int volume) {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
        this.volume = volume;
    }

    public long getX() {
        return x;
    }

    public Double getY() {
        return y;
    }

    public int getVolume() {
        return volume;
    }
}

Here is the stack trace:

Answer 1

Sounds like a bug. Can you report this at:

https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/issues

along with information like which Jackson version you are using?

As error message indicates, it looks as if property "y" handling fails: I am guessing it is because it is a wrapper object and some part of code assumes it can be auto-unboxed into double value. So a check needs to be added in appropriate place.
