How can I remove objects with null attributes? For example:

{  
   "login":"user.test",
   "dateTime":"02/07/2015 16:51",
   "action":"Update",
   "inner":{  
      "id":32,
      "name":"asdkjh",
      "other":"asdk",
      "document":"21321",
      "address":{  
         "zip":{  

         }
      },
      "email":{  

      }
   }
}

When I call writeValueAsString Jackson must ignore objects with null attributes, in this case address, zip and e-mail. Is it possible with some feature? Using setSerializationInclusion(Inclusion.NON_EMPTY) null values were ignored but the inner objects still there.

Those aren't null values. – Sotirios Delimanolis Jul 02 '15 at 21:13
Sorry. I edited the question. Consider null attributes not null values. – Leo Jul 02 '15 at 21:17
There's nothing _null_ in what you posted. – Sotirios Delimanolis Jul 02 '15 at 21:18
Show us your POJO types. – Sotirios Delimanolis Jul 02 '15 at 21:20

This is because I used setSerializationInclusion(Inclusion.NON_EMPTY). Now I want to remove the objects. – Leo Jul 02 '15 at 21:20
Thanks for the reply @goldenratio but in this link the objects are removed manually. Jackson doesn't provide any feature for this? – Leo Jul 02 '15 at 21:28
