How to set custom serializer for ResourceSupport in spring

[vltsu]

Hello!
I have the same problem as in #288, and I wrote my own serializer to replace Jackson2HalModule.HalLinkListSerializer. But how to tell spring to use this serializer? I tried to write

public abstract class MyOwnResourceSupportMixIn extends ResourceSupport {
    @Override
    @XmlElement(name = "link")
    @JsonProperty("_links")
    @JsonSerialize(include = JsonSerialize.Inclusion.NON_EMPTY, using = MyOwnSerializer.class)
}

and set

public class MixInModule extends SimpleModule {
    public MixInModule() {
        setMixInAnnotation(ResourceSupport.class, MyOwnResourceSupportMixIn.class);

and register this MixInModule in spring configuration, but it leads to stackoverflow error.

I see the mention of HalHandlerInstantiator in one of the issues, maybe I should use this method. But can you give me some example of how to use it in spring?

@vltsu It is possible to do this. Take a look at my comment on #288. You can use the same ideas to accomplish what you are trying to do.

@vivin thank you for reply. Also the solution can be found here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29129257/how-to-display-a-link-on-a-particular-rel-as-an-array-even-if-there-is-only-one

Cool! Seems to be along similar lines as my solution. I'll add it to SO. I noticed that the main difference is that I didn't extend the module; just the instantiator.
