spring mvc3中JACKSON序列化日期格式的问题

spring mvc3中JACKSON序列化日期格式的问题

在SPRING MVC3中，比如做REST时，经常要用JASON去解析，遇到了日期格式化的问题，
请看例子：

1） 比如有一个POJO
  package com.loiane.model;

import java.util.Date;

import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonAutoDetect;

@JsonAutoDetect
@Entity
public class Company {

    private int id;
    private double price;
    private String company;
    private Date date;
    private String size;
    private byte visible;
}

2）在controller中，返回一个MAP
   public @ResponseBody Map<String,List<Company>> view() throws Exception

3） 于是SPIRNG MVC返回如下的JSON字符：
   {"total":27,"data":[{"price":71.72,"company":"3m Co","visible":1,"id":1,"size":"large","date":1188615600000},{"price":29.01,"company":"Aloca
Inc","visible":0,"id":2,"size":"medium","date":1185937200000},{"price":83.81,"company":"Altria Group
Inc","visible":0,"id":3,"size":"large","date":1186110000000
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

4） 可以看到，返回的时间格式不大好看

5）于是，可以这样设置：
   @JsonSerialize(using=JsonDateSerializer.class)
public Date getDate() {
    return date;
}
其中   JsonDateSerializer是新编写的类，继承了JsonSerializer
  import java.io.IOException;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

import org.codehaus.jackson.JsonGenerator;
import org.codehaus.jackson.JsonProcessingException;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonSerializer;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.SerializerProvider;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
@Component
public class JsonDateSerializer extends JsonSerializer<Date>{

    private static final SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy");

    @Override
    public void serialize(Date date, JsonGenerator gen, SerializerProvider provider)
            throws IOException, JsonProcessingException {

        String formattedDate = dateFormat.format(date);

        gen.writeString(formattedDate);
    }

}

   很简单，格式化一下，这下输出JSON就可以了
{"total":27,"data":[{"price":71.72,"company":"3m Co","visible":1,"id":1,"size":"large","date":"09-01-2007"},{"price":29.01,"company":"Aloca
Inc","visible":0,"id":2,"size":"medium","date":"08-01-2007"},{"price":83.81,"company":"Altria Group
Inc","visible":0,"id":3,"size":"large","date":"08-03-2007"},{"price":52.55,"company":"American Express Company","visible":1,"id":4,"size":"extralarge","date":"01-04-2008"},{"price":64.13,"company":"American International Group
Inc.","visible":1,"id":5,"size":"small","date":"03-04-2008"},{"price":31.61,"company":"AT&T Inc.","visible":0,"id":6,"size":"extra
large","date":"02-01-2008"},{"price":75.43,"company":"Boeing Co.","visible":1,"id":7,"size":"large","date":"01-01-2008"},{"price":67.27,"company":"Caterpillar
Inc.","visible":1,"id":8,"size":"medium","date":"12-03-2007"},{"price":49.37,"company":"Citigroup,
Inc.","visible":1,"id":9,"size":"large","date":"11-24-2007"},{"price":40.48,"company":"E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company","visible":0,"id":10,"size":"extra
large","date":"05-09-2007"}],"success":true}

要导入 jackson-annotations.jar  和 jackson-mapper-asl.jar包
