Spring Integration: how to configure ObjectToJsonTransformer to add json__TypeId__ with class name instead of canonical name

I am trying to serialize a message (then deserialize it) and I do not want any of the headers json__TypeId__ or json_resolvableType to contain the canonical name of the class. This is because I am sending the message over the network and I consider including the canonical name in the header a security concern.

Here is just the relevant parts of the code that I am using:

package com.test;

@Getter
@ToString
class CustomObject {
  String field;
}

Serializing it with:

    Message<?> serialized = Transformers.toJson().transform(MessageBuilder.withPayload(new CustomObject()).build());

The serialized message looks like this:

GenericMessage [payload={"field":null}, headers={id=496c110d-fdde-b03b-42c0-21f9671e29ed, json_resolvableType=com.test.CustomObject, json__TypeId__=class com.test.CustomObject, contentType=application/json, timestamp=1623417277287}]

I would prefer to have it like below, containing only the class name:

GenericMessage [payload={"field":null}, headers={id=496c110d-fdde-b03b-42c0-21f9671e29ed, json__TypeId__=CustomObject, contentType=application/json, timestamp=1623417277287}]

or even without the json__TypeId__ header at all:

GenericMessage [payload={"field":null}, headers={id=496c110d-fdde-b03b-42c0-21f9671e29ed, contentType=application/json, timestamp=1623417277287}]

I have a temporary solution, but I want to know if there is a more elegant one, like an annotation or configuration. Below is the current programatic way of solving this.

Make a class that extends the jackson mapper and the override the populateJavaTypes (which was adding the headers in the first place)

class JsonObjectMapperCustom extends Jackson2JsonObjectMapper {
  @Override
  public void populateJavaTypes(Map<String, Object> map, Object object) {
  }
}

And then serialize with:

    Message<?> serialized = new ObjectToJsonTransformer(new JsonObjectMapperCustom()).transform(message);

Note: I am using spring-integration-core 5.2.3.RELEASE

You can create a new message from transformed and remove headers you don’t need

Message<?> serialized = MessageBuilder.fromMessage(Transformers.toJson()
                .transform(MessageBuilder
                        .withPayload(new CustomObject())
                        .build()))
                .removeHeaders("json_resolvableType", "json__TypeId__")
                .build();
