Description

In my application and in the example application the @JsonIgnore annotation is ignored.

Reproduce:
Add an @JsonIgnore annotation to the field status in Order.java. The status field should not be serialized.
Call http://localhost:8080/restbucks/orders/1

The status property is (still) exported.

Also tried @JsonIgnoreProperties and @XmlTransient, no effect.

Additionally, i am not able to find another way to exclude a property.

Research direction

Start with the Order.java reproduction and call http://localhost:8080/restbucks/orders/1 to inspect the serialized response. Trace why the status property remains despite @JsonIgnore, @JsonIgnoreProperties, and @XmlTransient; done means the status property is absent from the response and the behavior is covered by an appropriate test.
