I think your answer is here: Jackson renames boolean field by removing is

Jackson (serializer) sees "isOk" as a get method of a boolean variable named "ok". This is a common naming pattern developers use on get methods for boolean variables.

EDIT:

You shouldn't set the name of your method to "getIsOk", because that doesn't follow the naming convention of get method for boolean variables. This is not a very good solution, but it'll work.

Jackson provides an annotation to you that set the name of the serialized variable:

@JsonProperty(value="isOk")
public boolean isOk() {
  return isOk;
}

You should rename your getter to getIsOk().

It will return the expected answer :

{
  "message":null,
  "isOk": true
}
