Since no one seems to have posted an answer anywhere (and this exact same
problem stumped me for a while), I thought I'd share what worked for me.
I loaded the jsonplugin code and figured out what I needed to do to use the
"includeProperties" param to only serialize a certain property of my list.
It seems that you also need to include the parent objects in your
includeProperties parameters.
Using your Map below, if you only wanted to serialize "myProperty" member of
your map, your includeProperties would look something like:
productCategoriesMap,
productCategoriesMap\[\d+\], <--- in this case, the index is an
integer, but yours might be a string
productCategoriesMap\[\d+\].myProperty
While stepping through the code, I found that as the jsonplugin is walking
the object hierarchy, it starts at the parent, which is
"productCategoriesMap." It will then look to see if it should include this
property -- unless you have a rule in there to allow this, it won't continue
walking productCategoriesMap to get to "myProperty," which is why when you
only specify a rule for productCategoriesMap\[\d+\].myProperty, it
serializes nothing.
Hope this helps!
