Custom filter attributes in Jackson when serializing

First use the @JsonFilter jackson annotation where you define an id of the filter

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonFilter;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;

@JsonFilter("IndividualComparisonResultsFilter")
public class ComparisonResultBulk implements Serializable {

  //other fields ignored for brevity

  @JsonProperty("max_latency_millis")
  private String maxLatencyMillis;

  @JsonProperty("individual_comparison_results")
  private List<ComparisonResult> comparisonResults;

  @JsonProperty("not_comparable_results_size")
  private Integer notComparableResultsSize;

  @JsonProperty("not_comparable_results")
  private List<ComparisonResult> notComparableResults;
}

Then create a filterProvider, for example a SimpleFilterProvider for the id where you set the filter options.

In the example below everything is serialized except two properties with the help of SimpleBeanPropertyFilter.serializeAllExcept() method (serializeAll() is also present, and the opposite SimpleBeanPropertyFilter.filterOutAllExcept("individual_comparison_results", "not_comparable_results") which would serialize only these properties). In the end set the filterProvider set to the ObjectMapper where you serialize your object:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonProcessingException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.impl.SimpleBeanPropertyFilter;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.impl.SimpleFilterProvider;

private ComparisonReport generateReport(ComparisonResultBulk comparisonResultBulk)
      throws JsonProcessingException {
    ComparisonReport comparisonReport = new ComparisonReport();

    ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
    SimpleFilterProvider filterProvider = new SimpleFilterProvider();
    filterProvider.addFilter("IndividualComparisonResultsFilter", SimpleBeanPropertyFilter.serializeAllExcept("individual_comparison_results", "not_comparable_results"));
    mapper.setFilterProvider(filterProvider);

    comparisonReport.setPayload(mapper.writeValueAsBytes(comparisonResultBulk));

    return comparisonReport;
}
