SimpleFilterProvider.addFilter() about jackson-annotations HOT 3 CLOSED

Looks like using the FilterExceptFilter class makes the code work:

FilterProvider filters = new SimpleFilterProvider().addFilter("test", FilterExceptFilter.filterOutAllExcept("name"));

Still wondering why this works but the first line doesn't, considering they both return SimpleBeanPropertyFilter

from jackson-annotations.

This is related to refactoring done for 2.3, to allow use of filters for non-POJOs (Maps, mostly). Since Java will use nominal (compile-time) type for method binding in case of overloads it is either IDE problem or incorrect signature of filterOutAllExcept() method.
I'll check if latter is the case. But if it is, I'll have to see if it can be fixed: unfortunately such change is not binary compatible.

Or perhaps type of

Ok, I think the problem originated from me using the 'org.codehaus.jackson' version of the class. It's compiling now that I used the updated package.
