I need to send map of custom objects Map<String, Set<Result>> from frontend to backend.
So I think it should be possible to build JSON, send it to Controller via Ajax and receive it in Controller via #RequestBody annotation which should bind json to object. right?
Controller:
#RequestMapping(value = "/downloadReport", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ResponseEntity<byte[]> getReport(#RequestBody Map<String, Set<Result>> resultMap)
{
Context context = new Context();
context.setVariable("resultMap", resultMap);
return createPDF("pdf-report", context);
}
JSON:
{
"result": [
{
"id": 1,
"item": {
"id": 3850,
"name": "iti"
},
"severity": "low",
"code": "A-M-01",
"row": 1,
"column": 1,
"description": "Miscellaneous warning"
}
]
}
Model:
public class Result {
private Integer id;
private Item item;
private String severity;
private String code;
private Integer row;
private Integer column;
private String description;
//getter & setters
//hashCode & equals
}
public class Item {
private Integer id;
private String name;
//getter & setters
}
After send such a JSON like above by ajax I am getting error message from browser:
The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect
If I change JSON to send empty set like below then it works but of course my map has empty set:
{"result": []}
So, Why I am not able to receive filled map with set of objects? Why binding/unmarshalling do not work as expected and what I should do to make it works?
Note:
I am using Jackson library and marshalling for other case for #ResponseBody works fine. Problem is with unmarshalling and binding object via #RequestBody.
In order for jackson to properly deserialize your custom classes you need to provide #JsonCreator annotated constructor that follows one of the rules defined in the java doc. So for your Item class it could look like this:
#JsonCreator
public Item(#JsonProperty("id") Integer id,
#JsonProperty("name") String name) {
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
}
you have to deal with map differently,
first create wrapper class
public MyWrapperClass implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
Map<String, List<String>> fil = new HashMap<String, List<String>>();
// getters and setters
}
then you should take request in controller,
#PostMapping
public Map<String,List<String>> get(#RequestBody Filter filter){
System.out.println(filter);
}
Json Request should be like
{
"fil":{
"key":[
"value1",
"value2"
],
"key":[
"vakue1"
]
}
}

Summary
I'm trying to define the generic type of params based on the Type property when the request arrives at the controller ?
If the Type is UPDATE, set the generic type of params to MovieParam, if the type CREATE, set it to CarParam.
Request Json
{
"values":[
{
"context":{
"type":"UPDATE",
"ids":[1,2,3,4,5],
"params":{
"code":1256,
"year":588987,
"name":"Suits Mike Harvey Specter",
"channel":"NetFlix"
}
}
},
{
context":{
"type":"CREATE",
"ids":[1,2,3,4,5],
"params":{
"brand": "Chevrolett",
"engine": 2.0,
"segments": "Autos",
"year": "2014",
"name": "Celta"
}
}
}
]
}
Mappings in Java with Spring
public class Request {
List<Value> values;
}
public class Value {
Context context;
}
public class Context<T> {
String type;
List<Long> ids;
T params;
}
public class MovieParam {
Long code;
Long year;
String name;
String channel;
}
public class CarParam {
String brand;
Long engine;
String segments;
String name;
Long year;
}
My Controller
#PostMapping
private ResponseEntity<?> publish(#RequestBody Request request) {}
When my controller receives the payload shown above, the params property is of type linkedhashmap because it doesn't know the type of that object. I would like to transform this type to the corresponding shown above.
I would like to think of something simpler and more direct, sometimes an interceptor, or some implementation of a strategy based on Type
I am sending the following request (using Spring Boot)
ResponseEntity<String> response = restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.GET, request, String.class);
response is the json object(i have ommitted lot of fields in json object)
{
"customer": {
"id": 100,
"ci": {
"lDb": "11",
"localId": "1"
},
"cusdata": {},
"rating": {
"id": 3140,
"dateTime": "2019-09-21 06:45:41.10",
"rawData": {
"seg": "XYZ",
"seg2": "XYZ",
"et": "XYZ_CORP",
"CountryCodes": [
"IN"
],
"doBusiness": "2017-09-20"
],
...
....
...
...
"status": "SUCCESS"
}
I need to map the below fields to a Pojo Class
1.localId
2.seg
3.seg2
4.status
How can i create the PojoClass such that those fields are mapped automatically
So basically how will my PojoClass should look like?
ResponseEntity<PojoClass> response = restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.GET, request, PojoClass.class);
I suggest that you use sites like http://www.jsonschema2pojo.org/. There, you can select many options on the right panel and adjust POJO you want to get from JSON schema.
Your PojoClass has to follow the structure of the JSON that your are receiving and have the fields that your are interested (or all of them).
For the first level class:
public class PojoClass {
private Customer customer;
private String status;
...
}
Then, create a Customer class for the customer fields and create more classes for the rest of the fields:
public class Customer {
public String id;
public CI ci;
public CustData custData;
...
}
Create a custom class PojoClass
public class PojoClass {
private Integer id;
private Object ci;
private Object cusdata;
private Object rating;
private Object status;
}
ResponseEntity<PojoClass> responseEntity = restTemplate.exchange(url,HttpMethod.GET,request,new ParameterizedTypeReference<PojoClass>(){
});
My Spring Boot app makes a call to a REST API and receives a JSON with a varying number of entities. E.g.
{
"content": {
"guest_1": {
"name": {
"firstName": "a",
"lastName": "b"
},
"vip": false
},
"guest_2": {
"name": {
"firstName": "c",
"lastName": "d"
},
"vip": false
},
...more guests omitted...
}
}
There can be 1 to many guests and I don't know their number upfront. As you can see, they aren't in an array, they are objects instead.
I'd like to avoid deserializing into a class like
public class Content {
#JsonProperty("guest_1")
private Guest guest1;
#JsonProperty("guest_2")
private Guest guest2;
// More Guests here each having their own field
}
What I'd like to use is
public class Content {
private List<Guest> guests;
}
The #JsonAnySetter annotation I read about at https://www.baeldung.com/jackson-annotations looks promising but I couldn't get it to work.
3.2. Convert to an object at https://www.baeldung.com/jackson-json-node-tree-model looks also good but it didn't work out either.
I'm not sure if I can make Jackson do this in a declarative way or I should write a custom JsonDeserializer. Could you please help me?
#JsonAnySetter will work as it allows to specify a POJO type as second parameter. You could recreate the example JSON as, omitting setXXX() and getXXX() methods on POJOs for clarity:
private static class Content {
private Guests content;
}
private static class Guests {
private List<Guest> guests = new ArrayList<>();
#JsonAnySetter
private void addGuest(String name, Guest value) {
guests.add(value);
}
}
private static class Guest {
private Name name;
private boolean vip;
}
private static class Name {
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
}
With your JSON example will produce:
Content root = new ObjectMapper().readValue(json, Content.class);
root.getContent().getGuests().stream()
.map(Guest::getName)
.map(Name::getFirstName)
.forEach(System.out::println); // a, c
Trying to save One to Many JPA relationship. I have written a custom controller. I am getting only the first id in giftSet and not all the ids. I have simplified the code.
My Post request-
{
"name": "Project 7",
"giftSet": [
{
"id": "1"
},
{
"id":"33"
}
]
}
class Holiday{
private String name;
private Set<GiftConfig> giftSets;
}
class GiftSet {
private Integer id;
private Holiday holiday;
}
class GiftConfig {
private Integer id;
private String name;
}
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value="/api/saveholiday")
public ResponseEntity<Map<String, Holiday>> saveHoliday(#RequestBody Holiday holiday) {
System.out.println(holiday);
return null;
}
First, I add multiple GiftConfig. After that, while creating Holiday, I add details for GiftSet as well.
In debug mode, I see only id 1 in giftSet and not both ids 1 and 33.
Note- Changing Set to List is not an option.
Introduction
I see 2 problems and one possible last issue.
You are missing setters/getters in order for de-serialization to work on the JSON.
Your payload doesn't seem to be working for me.
As pcoates mentioned in a comment, you could also use #JsonAutoDetect(fieldVisibility = Visibility.ANY) - but I haven't tested this.
Finally, also be careful about having a circular reference if you convert from java back to JSON. I see that a Holiday has a set of giftSets, but a giftSet points to a holiday.
If the gitset points to the same parent holiday, this is a circular reference and will crash.
Getters and Setters
Your problem is that you are missing getters and setters.
Either use lombok and add a #data annotation or add a getter and setter .
#Data
public static class Holiday{
private String name;
private Set<GiftSet> giftSets;
}
#Data
public static class GiftSet {
private Integer id;
private Holiday holiday;
}
Payload
I used the following payload:
{
"name": "HolidaySet",
"giftSets": [
{
"id": 1111,
"holiday": {
"name": null,
"giftSets": null
}
},
{
"id": 1112,
"holiday": {
"name": null,
"giftSets": null
}
}
]
}
Quick Test
I did a quick test to see what the payload should be like.
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value="/api/saveholiday")
public ResponseEntity<Map<String, Holiday>> saveHoliday(#RequestBody Holiday holiday) throws JsonProcessingException {
System.out.println(holiday);
fakeItTest();
return null;
}
private void fakeItTest() throws JsonProcessingException {
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
Set<GiftSet> giftSets2 = new HashSet<>();
GiftSet gg = new GiftSet();
gg.setId(1111);
gg.setHoliday(new Holiday());
giftSets2.add(gg);
GiftSet gg2 = new GiftSet();
gg2.setId(1112);
gg2.setHoliday(new Holiday());
giftSets2.add(gg2);
Holiday holiday2 = new Holiday();
holiday2.setName("HolidaySet");
holiday2.setGiftSets(giftSets2);
String a = objectMapper.writeValueAsString(holiday2);
System.out.println(a);
}
#Data
public static class Holiday{
private String name;
private Set<GiftSet> giftSets;
}
#Data
public static class GiftSet {
private Integer id;
private Holiday holiday;
}
I'm using RoboSpice with Spring for Android and would like to persist a JSON array of objects with OrmLite. GSON is used for the JSON marshalling. With the default caching everything works as expected. But OrmLite doesn't seem to like the array of objects.
This is a simplified version of the JSON:
[{"id": 1, "title": "Test 1"},{"id": 2, "title": "Test 3"},{"id": 3, "title": "Test 3"}]
I would like to persist this in the following object:
#DatabaseTable
public class Foo {
#DatabaseField(id = true)
private int id;
#DatabaseField
private String title;
// getters and setters
...
}
Based on the RoboSpice OrmLite example I've created the following GsonSpringAndroidSpiceService class to add the OrmLite CacheManager. This is where the problem starts.
public class CustomGsonSpringAndroidSpiceService extends GsonSpringAndroidSpiceService
{
#Override
public CacheManager createCacheManager(Application application)
{
// add persisted classes to class collection
List<Class<?>> classCollection = new ArrayList<Class<?>>();
classCollection.add(Foo.class);
// init
CacheManager cacheManager = new CacheManager();
cacheManager.addPersister(new InDatabaseObjectPersisterFactory(
application, new RoboSpiceDatabaseHelper(
application, "database.db", 1), classCollection));
return cacheManager;
}
}
This results in the following error:
RequestProcessor.java:174(22356): java.lang.RuntimeException: Class [Lcom.example.model.Foo; is not handled by any registered factoryList
When I change classCollection.add(Foo.class); to classCollection.add(Foo[].class);
I get the following error:
RequestProcessor.java:174(22601): 14:42:23.112 pool-5-thread-1 An unexpected error occured when processsing request CachedSpiceRequest [requestCacheKey=foo, cacheDuration=-1, spiceRequest=com.example.app.FooRequest#4055df40]
RequestProcessor.java:174(22601): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No fields have a DatabaseField annotation in class [Lcom.example.app.model.Foo;
Anyone an idea how to handle a JSON array with the OrmLite CacheManager ?
I've found a work around to this problem. I added an extra result object which holds the array of objects. Off course this is only possible if you are able to manipulate the JSON. Still not really happy with this because I have introduce an useless class to my model.
So my the JSON looks like:
{
"id": 1,
"result":[{"id": 1, "title": "Test 1"},{"id": 2, "title": "Test 3"},{"id": 3, "title": "Test 3"}]
}
And I added the following class to hold the JSON result:
#DatabaseTable
public class FooResult {
#DatabaseField(id = true)
private int id;
#ForeignCollectionField(eager = false)
private Collection<Foo> result;
// getters and setters
...
}
Also added the foreign relation the the Foo class:
#DatabaseTable
public class Foo {
#DatabaseField(id = true)
private int id;
#DatabaseField
private String title;
#DatabaseField(foreign = true)
private FooResult result;
// getters and setters
...
}
I have found the way which works for me. I did not changed my json.
#DatabaseTable(tableName = SampleContract.Contributor.TABLE)
public class Contributor {
#DatabaseField(generatedId = true, columnName = SampleContract.Contributor._ID)
private int id;
#DatabaseField(columnName = SampleContract.Contributor.LOGIN)
public String login;
#DatabaseField(columnName = SampleContract.Contributor.CONTRIBUTIONS)
public int contributions;
#DatabaseField(foreign = true)
private ContributorsResult result;
#SuppressWarnings("serial")
#DatabaseTable(tableName = "contributor_list")
public static class ContributorsResult extends ArrayList<Contributor> {
#DatabaseField(id = true)
private int id = 0;
#ForeignCollectionField(eager = false)
private Collection<Contributor> result = this;
public Collection<Contributor> getResult() {
return result;
}
public void setResult(Collection<Contributor> result) {
if (result != null) {
this.clear();
this.addAll(result);
}
}
}
}
I struggled with this the whole of today and finally figured how to save a JSON array into a SQLite database using Robospice Spring Android without modifying the JSON.
This is my post JSON array returned from my server:
[
{
"id": "5573547af58cd75df03306cc",
"name": "Simon",
"postheader": "First Post"
},
{
"id": "55735475f58cd75df03306cb",
"name": "Tyron",
"postheader": "Second Post"
}
]
This is similar to the JSON in this question:
[{"id": 1, "title": "Test 1"},{"id": 2, "title": "Test 3"},{"id": 3, "title": "Test 3"}]
Step 1:
You will need to create 2 classes on the android side.
One will be the normal object that you want to save from the array. In my case, I have an object called "Post" and my server returns an array of "Post".
#DatabaseTable(tableName = "post")
#JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Post implements Serializable {
#DatabaseField(id = true)
private String id;
#DatabaseField
private String name;
#DatabaseField
private String postheader;
#DatabaseField(foreign = true,foreignAutoCreate = true,foreignAutoRefresh = true)
private EmbedPost posts;
The other object will be a wrapper object that wraps over the array, I called mine "EmbedPost".
#DatabaseTable
public class EmbedPost implements Serializable {
#DatabaseField(allowGeneratedIdInsert=true, generatedId=true)
private int ID;
#ForeignCollectionField(eager = false)
private Collection<Post> posts;
By defining an int called ID in my EmbedPost class, I'm effectively creating a object that if I converted to JSON would look like this:
{"id": 1, "posts": [
{
"id": "5573547af58cd75df03306cc",
"name": "Simon",
"postheader": "First Post"
},
{
"id": "55735475f58cd75df03306cb",
"name": "Tyron",
"postheader": "Second Post"
}
]}
This is effectively a JSON string that looks very similar to what Uipko used in his solution.
{
"id": 1,
"result":[{"id": 1, "title": "Test 1"},{"id": 2, "title": "Test 3"},{"id": 3, "title": "Test 3"}]
}
Step 2:
You now persist it using SpringAndroidSpiceService.
public class AndroidSpiceService extends SpringAndroidSpiceService {
private static final int WEBSERVICES_TIMEOUT = 10000;
#Override
public CacheManager createCacheManager( Application application ) {
CacheManager cacheManager = new CacheManager();
List< Class< ? >> classCollection = new ArrayList< Class< ? >>();
// add persisted classes to class collection
classCollection.add(EmbedPost.class);
classCollection.add( Post.class );
// init
RoboSpiceDatabaseHelper databaseHelper = new RoboSpiceDatabaseHelper( application, "sample_database.db", 3);
InDatabaseObjectPersisterFactory inDatabaseObjectPersisterFactory = new InDatabaseObjectPersisterFactory( application, databaseHelper, classCollection );
cacheManager.addPersister( inDatabaseObjectPersisterFactory );
return cacheManager;
}
#Override
public RestTemplate createRestTemplate() {
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
// set timeout for requests
HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory httpRequestFactory = new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory();
httpRequestFactory.setReadTimeout( WEBSERVICES_TIMEOUT );
httpRequestFactory.setConnectTimeout( WEBSERVICES_TIMEOUT );
restTemplate.setRequestFactory( httpRequestFactory );
MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter mappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter = new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter();
final List<HttpMessageConverter< ? >> listHttpMessageConverters = restTemplate.getMessageConverters();
listHttpMessageConverters.add( mappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter );
restTemplate.setMessageConverters( listHttpMessageConverters );
return restTemplate;
}
}
Be sure to add both the EmbedPost.class and Post.class to your classCollection as ORMLite cannot do its work without you persisting both. You had used ForeignKeys when you wrote up your objects and these foreign keys have to tie to something so therefore both classes must persist.
If you run into trouble, try using the logcat to figure it out. You might have to read all the messages and not just the error ones.
See my post here to see how to read all logcat messages:
