[🐛 Bug]: Selenium Java API: Serialization of 'Rectangle' objects by the Json API includes derived properties #14035
Description
What happened?
The standard Rectangle class (org.openqa.selenium.Rectangle) lacks a toJson() method, which causes the serialization performed by the Json API to fall back to scanning for methods that look like JavaBean accessors to extract object properties. In addition to the methods that provide access to inherent properties (width, height, x, and y), the Rectangle class provides two methods that produce derived properties (dimension and point). Consequently, the JSON current returned for Rectangle objects includes these derived properties as well.
How can we reproduce the issue?
@Test
public void serializeRectangle() {
Rectangle r = new Rectangle(640, 480, 320, 240);
String j = new Json().toJson(r);
System.out.println(j);
}
static class NewRectangle extends Rectangle {
public NewRectangle(int x, int y, int height, int width) {
super(x, y, height, width);
}
private Map<String, Object> toJson() {
return Map.of("width", width, "height", height, "x", x, "y", y);
}
}
@Test
public void serializeNewRectangle() {
Rectangle r = new NewRectangle(640, 480, 320, 240);
String j = new Json().toJson(r);
System.out.println(j);
}Relevant log output
// output from `serializeRectangle`
{
"width": 240,

"class": "org.openqa.selenium.Rectangle",
"dimension": {
"width": 240,
"class": "org.openqa.selenium.Dimension",
"height": 320
},
"point": {
"x": 640,
"y": 480,
"class": "org.openqa.selenium.Point"
},
"height": 320
}
// output from `serializeNewRectangle`
{

"height": 320
}
