I'm using Jackson 2.7.0

I'm trying to ignore encodingType when updating an existing object with some new values:

ObjectMapper om = new ObjectMapper();
om.readerForUpdating(message).readValue(messageSubset);
message contains a value for encodingType.

messageSubset (JSON-string) does not contain an entry (no key-value) for encodingType.
What I've tried:
For the ObjectMapper: 
om.setSerializationInclusion(Include.NON_EMPTY);
On the message class: 
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
@JsonIgnoreProperties(value = { "encodingType" })
@JsonInclude(Include.NON_EMPTY)
@JsonInclude(Include.NON_NULL)
On the field and on the getters/setters:
@JsonInclude(Include.NON_EMPTY)
@JsonInclude(Include.NON_NULL)
@JsonIgnore
@JsonSerialize(include=JsonSerialize.Inclusion.NON_NULL)
Non of the above work! Any help? 

I suppose this has something to do with readerForUpdating and/or the fact that one of them is being updated.
                I've just tried your code with a dummy Message class where encodingType is a String and it works fine. No annotations needed. Could you post the code for class of message and an example JSON ?

                I fixed the problem by configering the ObjectMapper like this:  om.setSerializationInclusion(JsonInclude.Include.NON_EMPTY);  om.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);  om.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_IGNORED_PROPERTIES, false);   And on the Message class for the correct properties:  @JsonIgnore on the setter   @JsonProperty on the getter

I fixed the problem by configuring the ObjectMapper like this (not sure if these are all needed though):
om.setSerializationInclusion(JsonInclude.Include.NON_EMPTY);
om.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);
om.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_IGNORED_PROPERTIES, false);
And on the Message class for the properties needed:
@JsonIgnore on the setter (excludes it when parsing to the Java object)

@JsonProperty on the getter (includes it when parsing to the JSON object)
