annotations within class should have higher precedence than class annotations

[nimo23]

I have this:

@JsonbVisibility(value = PrivateVisibilityStrategy.class)
public class Task{

@JsonbProperty(nillable = true)
public Set<Item> getItems(){
return ...;
}
}

Now, even I explicitly assign @JsonbProperty on a getter, the value is not (de)serialized because of @JsonbVisibility(value = PrivateVisibilityStrategy.class). Is this okay? If I choose to select a getter to (de)serialize as an exception, then json-b should take the inner annotation with higher priority than the class level annotation.

So the precedence should be (from higher to lower):

runtime configuration > property/getter/setter annotations > class level annotations

This issue on the JSON-B spec repo looks similar to what you are suggesting:
jakartaee/jsonb-api#61

If you agree, we can close this issue as a duplicate of it
