The null check in the method is the general-purpose way of solving it.
If the ObjectMapper is thread-safe you could also initialize it as a
static field.

Hey,
I was wondering how do You normally deal with fields that contain
references that are not serializable. Say, we have a custom
serialization schema in Java that needs to serialize
/LocalDateTime/ field with /ObjectMapper./ This requires registering
specific module for /ObjectMapper/ and this makes it not serializable
(module contains some references to classes that are not serializable).
Now, if You would initialize /ObjectMapper /directly in the field this
will cause an exception when deploying the job.
Normally I would do :
@Override public byte[]serialize(Backup backupMessage) {
if(objectMapper ==null) {
objectMapper =new ObjectMapper().registerModule(new JavaTimeModule());
}
...
}
But I was wondering whether do You have any prettier option of doing
this?
Thanks,
Dominik.
