Register a custom EnumSerializer to overwrite the default EnumSerializer

[gembin]

Create a custom CustomEnumSerializer, and add it to a SimpleModule as following:

public class CustomEnumSerializer extends StdScalarSerializer{
//... custom code here
}

public class MySimpleModule extends SimpleModule{
public void setupModule(SetupContext context) {
addSerializer(Enum.class,new CustomEnumSerializer());
}
}
and finally objectMapper.registerModule(new MySimpleModule());

But, currently, the CustomEnumSerializer dose not overwrite the default one.

First part of implementation; serializer registration works.

[cowtowncoder]

Completed implementation; will be included in 2.3.0 when it is out (which will take a while, as dev only started).

Awesome! Thank you Tatu @cowtowncoder ! :)

[cowtowncoder]

No problem; thank you for the idea!

I could really use this functionality but can't seem to figure out how. Is there any documentation or example code anywhere?

[cowtowncoder]

@maxkremer Does SimpleModule registration not work for you then? It works just like any other custom serializer.

[maxkremer]

@cowtowncoder yes it does. Sorry for the dumb question. Looking at the test code helped me to understand how this work. Thanks

[cowtowncoder]

@maxkremer no problem; glad you figured it out. Documentation is not as well organized as it should be, so I can understand it not being obvious.
