JMS Serializer SerializedName() not working

I have a $character property in my entity Foo.

The property is an entity itself (AppBundle\Entity\Character).

When I serialize Foo, I don't want to have the whole entity Character to be serialized: I need just the nickname of the Character.

I wrote this in AppBundle\Entity\Foo:

/**
 * 
 * @Serializer\VirtualProperty()
 * @Serializer\SerializedName("character")
 */
public function getCharacterNickname()
{
    return $this->character->getNickname();
}

The "virtual property" annotation works.

But the "serializedName" doesn't, because the result is the following:

{
    "id": 18,
    "characterNickname": "Mr.Gilbert Norrel",
    "foo": "foo",
    "bar": true,
    "baz": "baz"
}

("characterNickname" instead of just "character", as I asked in the annotation).

The properties "id", "foo", "bar" and "baz" have the annotation @Serializer\Expose(). The property "character" doesn't (because I want to serialize THAT property via the VirtualProperty)

What am I missing? Is it caused by the fact that I want to serialize the property with the name of an existing property?

Ty :)

    It seems that there's an error in the IdenticalPropertyNamingStrategy file of the library.
