Java MongoDb getting id as a timestamp but need the hexadecimal string

Question

I'm doing a CRUD for a collection named Schema and need to retrieve de _id as a hexadecimal string, but when i use the collection.find() i get the timestamp and date instead of the string.

I'm receving this structure:

{
"_id": {
            "timestamp": 1604689898,
            "date": "2020-11-06T19:11:38.000+00:00"
        }
}

But i need something like this:

{
"_id": "5fa5a085a4b09b307d53ed57"
}

Here are my configurations

Schema Model

@Data
@AllArgsConstructor
@NoArgsConstructor
public class Schema {

    @SerializedName("_id")
    public ObjectId id;

    public String db;

The problem you face is ObjectId becomes extended (Deserialized). we make it serialization.Add this dependency in pom

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
    <version>2.11.0.rc1</version>
</dependency>

Add the following method in main class.

@Bean
public Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilderCustomizer customizer()
{
    return builder -> builder.serializerByType(ObjectId.class,new ToStringSerializer());
}

This will give you expected output.

I've applied this solution but still I'm in a situation where I've a array of objectId in a field and while returning, it's returning jobTypes as date and timestamp. "jobTypes": [{"timestamp": 1683773584, "date": 1683773584000}, {"timestamp": 1683773591, "date": 1683773591000}] but it should be like following "jobTypes": ["645c5890a24c041c3697d23f", "645c5897a24c041c3697d240"]

@RafiMahmud did you try adding in the main class?

Yes, same as you showed in your answer.

In my case, using Kotlin it was so simple as to add a Jackson JSON serializer:

@JsonSerialize(using = ToStringSerializer::class)
val id: ObjectId = ObjectId.get(),

In order to get:

{
    "id": "622b34af87c70514f6452363",
    ...
}

instead of:

{
    "id": {
        "timestamp": 1646998703,
        "date": "2022-03-11T11:38:23.000+00:00"
    },
    ...
}

Adding this annotation to the id variable fixed it for me in Java 17.

@JsonSerialize(using = ToStringSerializer.class)
