I have defined JSON response which I want to deserialize into Java Objects. I managed to do it "manually" with the Tree Model but if possible I would like to use Data Binding instead. The problem is that I need some custom logic for some parts.
The JSON looks like this:
{
"resourcedescriptions": [
{
"path": "somePath",
"tag_pagetype": "default",
"tag_bookingcenter": [
"bc_ch",
"bc_de"
],
"resources": [
{
"path": "somePathDe.html",
"lang": "de",
"lastmodified": 1399020442914,
"mimetype": "text/html"
},
{
"path": "somePathEn.html",
"lang": "en",
"lastmodified": 1399907224208,
"mimetype": "text/html"
}
],
"lastmodified": 1399907224208
},
{
"path": "someOtherPath",
"tag_pagetype": "special",
"tag_bookingcenter": [
"bc_ch"
],
"resources": [
{
"path": "someOtherPathDe.html",
"lang": "de",
"lastmodified": 1399020442914,
"mimetype": "text/html"
},
{
"path": "someOtherPathEn.html",
"lang": "en",
"lastmodified": 1399907224208,
"mimetype": "text/html"
}
],
"lastmodified": 1399907224208
}
]
}
My Java Classes would be:
public class ResourceDescription {
private String path;
private LocalDateTime lastModified;
private String chartConfig;
private final List<Tag> tags = new ArrayList<Tag>();
private final List<Resource> resources = new ArrayList<Resource>();
}
public class Resource {
private String lang;
private String path;
private String mimeType;
private LocalDateTime lastModified;
}
public class Tag {
private String namespace;
private String name;
}
First question which I still don't fully understand even with reading many posts here. How do I deserialize this array of Resources from the JSON into my List of the ResourceDescription?
Second and most complex question. The JSON properties prefixed with "tag_" need to be transformed into the Tag class, whereas the the property name represents the namespace and the value (single or array) represent the name. So if the pattern is "namespace:name", the first ResourceDescription would have the following tags:
tag_pagetype:default
tag_bookingcenter:bc_ch
tag_bookingcenter:bc_de
Third the "lastmodified" should be transformed into DateTime from Joda-Time.
Is this even possible with data binding or should I stick to the Tree Model?
How do I deserialize this array of Resources from the JSON into my
List of the ResourceDescription?
You have to create additional root class which contains resourcedescriptions property. For example:
class Root {
private List<ResourceDescription> resourcedescriptions;
public List<ResourceDescription> getResourcedescriptions() {
return resourcedescriptions;
}
public void setResourcedescriptions(List<ResourceDescription> resourcedescriptions) {
this.resourcedescriptions = resourcedescriptions;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return String.valueOf(resourcedescriptions);
}
}
The JSON properties prefixed with "tag_" need to be transformed into
the Tag class, whereas the the property name represents the namespace
and the value (single or array) represent the name.
You can handle this case using #JsonAnySetter annotation. You have to add new method to ResourceDescription class which could look like this:
#JsonAnySetter
public void setAnyValues(String propertyName, Object value) {
if (propertyName.startsWith("tag_")) {
if (value instanceof String) {
tags.add(new Tag(propertyName, value.toString()));
} else if (value instanceof List) {
List<?> values = (List<?>) value;
for (Object v : values) {
tags.add(new Tag(propertyName, v.toString()));
}
}
// throw exception?
} else {
// handle another unknown properties
}
}
Third the "lastmodified" should be transformed into DateTime from
Joda-Time.
You can handle JodaTime types by adding jackson-datatype-joda library. When you add it you can register JodaModule module.
mapper.registerModule(new JodaModule());
Additional problem that your JSON contain properties written using lowercase, but your POJO properties are written using camel-case. You can change JSON or POJO or use #JsonProperty("property-name-from-JSON") annotation or implement your own naming strategy. For example:
mapper.setPropertyNamingStrategy(new PropertyNamingStrategy.PropertyNamingStrategyBase() {
#Override
public String translate(String propertyName) {
return propertyName.toLowerCase();
}
});
Full Java example how to you can deserialize your JSON:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import org.joda.time.LocalDateTime;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonAnySetter;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.PropertyNamingStrategy;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.joda.JodaModule;
public class JacksonProgram {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String json = "{ ... }";
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.registerModule(new JodaModule());
mapper.setPropertyNamingStrategy(new PropertyNamingStrategy.PropertyNamingStrategyBase() {
#Override
public String translate(String propertyName) {
return propertyName.toLowerCase();
}
});
System.out.println(mapper.readValue(json, Root.class));
}
}
class Root {
private List<ResourceDescription> resourcedescriptions;
public List<ResourceDescription> getResourcedescriptions() {
return resourcedescriptions;
}
public void setResourcedescriptions(List<ResourceDescription> resourcedescriptions) {
this.resourcedescriptions = resourcedescriptions;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return String.valueOf(resourcedescriptions);
}
}
class ResourceDescription {
private String path;
private LocalDateTime lastModified;
private String chartConfig;
private final List<Tag> tags = new ArrayList<Tag>();
private final List<Resource> resources = new ArrayList<Resource>();
#JsonAnySetter
public void setAnyValues(String propertyName, Object value) {
if (propertyName.startsWith("tag_")) {
if (value instanceof String) {
tags.add(new Tag(propertyName, value.toString()));
} else if (value instanceof List) {
List<?> values = (List<?>) value;
for (Object v : values) {
tags.add(new Tag(propertyName, v.toString()));
}
}
// throw exception?
} else {
// handle another unknown properties
}
}
public String getPath() {
return path;
}
public void setPath(String path) {
this.path = path;
}
public LocalDateTime getLastModified() {
return lastModified;
}
public void setLastModified(LocalDateTime lastModified) {
this.lastModified = lastModified;
}
public String getChartConfig() {
return chartConfig;
}
public void setChartConfig(String chartConfig) {
this.chartConfig = chartConfig;
}
public List<Tag> getTags() {
return tags;
}
public List<Resource> getResources() {
return resources;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return "ResourceDescription [path=" + path + ", lastModified=" + lastModified
+ ", chartConfig=" + chartConfig + ", tags=" + tags + ", resources=" + resources
+ "]";
}
}
class Resource {
private String lang;
private String path;
private String mimeType;
private LocalDateTime lastModified;
public String getLang() {
return lang;
}
public void setLang(String lang) {
this.lang = lang;
}
public String getPath() {
return path;
}
public void setPath(String path) {
this.path = path;
}
public String getMimeType() {
return mimeType;
}
public void setMimeType(String mimeType) {
this.mimeType = mimeType;
}
public LocalDateTime getLastModified() {
return lastModified;
}
public void setLastModified(LocalDateTime lastModified) {
this.lastModified = lastModified;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return "Resource [lang=" + lang + ", path=" + path + ", mimeType=" + mimeType
+ ", lastModified=" + lastModified + "]";
}
}
class Tag {
private String namespace;
private String name;
public Tag() {
}
public Tag(String namespace, String name) {
this.namespace = namespace;
this.name = name;
}
public String getNamespace() {
return namespace;
}
public void setNamespace(String namespace) {
this.namespace = namespace;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return "Tag [namespace=" + namespace + ", name=" + name + "]";
}
}
Above program prints:
[ResourceDescription [path=somePath, lastModified=2014-05-12T17:07:04.208, chartConfig=null, tags=[Tag [namespace=tag_pagetype, name=default], Tag [namespace=tag_bookingcenter, name=bc_ch], Tag [namespace=tag_bookingcenter, name=bc_de]], resources=[Resource [lang=de, path=somePathDe.html, mimeType=text/html, lastModified=2014-05-02T10:47:22.914], Resource [lang=en, path=somePathEn.html, mimeType=text/html, lastModified=2014-05-12T17:07:04.208]]], ResourceDescription [path=someOtherPath, lastModified=2014-05-12T17:07:04.208, chartConfig=null, tags=[Tag [namespace=tag_pagetype, name=special], Tag [namespace=tag_bookingcenter, name=bc_ch]], resources=[Resource [lang=de, path=someOtherPathDe.html, mimeType=text/html, lastModified=2014-05-02T10:47:22.914], Resource [lang=en, path=someOtherPathEn.html, mimeType=text/html, lastModified=2014-05-12T17:07:04.208]]]]
You will need to create a custom deserializer for ResourceDescription in order to accomplish what you need to do. The syntax for specifying a custom deserializer for ResourceDescription will look like this:
#JsonDeserialize(using=ResourceDescriptionDeserializer.class)
public class ResourceDescription { ... }
This deserializer will have to iterate through each of the keys for each resource description to see if it begins with "tag_", strip off the prefix and use the remaining for the namespace and populate the name/value for the Tag before adding it to the array of the ResourceDescription being created.
For all other attributes/types I think you can just defer to the default deserialization and set those attributes on their respective fields.
Then, to deserialize the list of ResourceDescriptions you can specify a TypeReference to avoid writing a custom deserializer for ResourceDescriptions. The code will look something like this:
Map<String, List<ResourceDescription>> resultMap =
objectMapper.readValue(JSON, new TypeReference<Map<String, List<ResourceDescription>>>() {});
List<ResourceDescription> descriptions = resultMap.get("resourcedescriptions");
Here's an article that doesn't quite pair with what you're doing but I think will help with the general idea:

i have created 4 models using http://www.jsonschema2pojo.org.
those models just have getter setter in it. look something like this

}
Now i want to set the values in these models by creating their respective objects and finally i got one main object with all the data. like this
Value Vobj1 = new Value();
Vobj1.setContent("00098");
Vobj1.setSpecialValueId("LITERAL");
List<Value> valueList1= new ArrayList<Value>();
valueList1.add(Vobj1);
Value Vobj2 = new Value();
Vobj2.setContent("SM");
Vobj2.setSpecialValueId("LITERAL");
List<Value> valueList2= new ArrayList<Value>();
valueList2.add(Vobj2);
Value Vobj3 = new Value();
Vobj3.setContent("01/01/17");
Vobj3.setSpecialValueId("LITERAL");
List<Value> valueList3= new ArrayList<Value>();
valueList3.add(Vobj3);
Condition Cobj1 = new Condition();
Cobj1.setControlId("F4211.CO");
Cobj1.setOperator("EQUAL");
Cobj1.setValue(valueList1);
Condition Cobj2 = new Condition();
Cobj2.setControlId("F4211.DCTO");
Cobj2.setOperator("EQUAL");
Cobj2.setValue(valueList1);
Condition Cobj3 = new Condition();
Cobj3.setControlId("F4211.UPMJ");
Cobj3.setOperator("GREATER_EQUAL");
Cobj3.setValue(valueList1);
List<Condition> conditionList1 = new ArrayList<Condition>();
conditionList1.add(Cobj1);
conditionList1.add(Cobj2);
conditionList1.add(Cobj3);
Query Qobj1= new Query();
Qobj1.setAutoClear(true);
Qobj1.setAutoFind(true);
Qobj1.setCondition(conditionList1);
Qobj1.setMatchType("MATCH_ALL");
JSONStructure obj=new JSONStructure();
obj.setAliasNaming(true);
obj.setDataServiceType("BROWSE");
obj.setDeviceName("MyDevice");
obj.setLangPref(" ");
obj.setMaxPageSize("2000");
obj.setOutputType("VERSION1");
obj.setPassword("!J0g3t6000");
obj.setQuery(Qobj1);
obj.setReturnControlIDs("F4211.DOCO|F4211.TRDJ|F4211.CRCD|F4211.AN8|F4211.DSC2|F4211.DSC1|F4211.LITM|F4211.LOTN|F4211.UORG|F4211.UPRC|F4211.AEXP");
obj.setTargetName("F4211");
obj.setTargetType("table");
obj.setToken(Token);
obj.setUsername("JOGET");
Now obj is my final object that i am going to pass to an http request and call the api and get the data from it. i want to make sure that my json is created correct, how am i suppose to print the all the data inside this object? and am i going correct with this approach?
if you use maven put gson into your pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
<artifactId>gson</artifactId>
<version>2.8.5</version>
</dependency>
then print your object like this
System.out.println(new Gson().toJson(yourObj));
your object will print in json
I found two full working examples that is familiar with your case.
1) Using Gson refer to the tutorial Parse json string and java object into Gson tree model
2) Using Jackson refer to the tutorial Convert Java Object to/from JSON using JACKSON API
Hope this help.
I've been trying to create a nested RealmObject using a json but it only creates the first Object and not the nested ones. I would appreciate a help on this.
my Realm classes:
Content.java
public class Content extends RealmObject {
private String uuid;
RealmList<ContentDetailModel> ContentDetail;
public Content() {
super();
this.uuid = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
}
public String getUuid() {
return uuid;
}
public RealmList<ContentDetailModel> getContentDetails() {
return ContentDetail;
}
public void setContentDetails(RealmList<ContentDetailModel> contentDetails) {
this.ContentDetail = contentDetails;
}
}
ContentDetailModel.java:
public class ContentDetailModel extends RealmObject {
String FileName;
String ContentTypeID;
RealmList<ContentDetailMetadataModel> ContentDetailMetadata;
RealmResults<Content> content = null;
public String getFileName() {
return FileName;
}
public void setFileName(String fileName) {
FileName = fileName;
}
public String getContentTypeID() {
return ContentTypeID;
}
public void setContentTypeID(String contentTypeID) {
ContentTypeID = contentTypeID;
}
public RealmList<ContentDetailMetadataModel> getContentDetailMetadata() {
return ContentDetailMetadata;
}
public void setContentDetailMetadata(RealmList<ContentDetailMetadataModel> contentDetailMetadataz) {
this.ContentDetailMetadata = contentDetailMetadataz;
}
}
and the rest of nested classes are like these. my Json string is as follows:
"
{
"Content":{
"ContentDetail":[
{
"FileName":"test.mp3",
"ContentTypeID":3,
"ContentDetailMetadata":{
"Metadata":[
{
"ID":2,
"Value":"2017-08-02 09:40:30"
},
{
"ID":1,
"Value":"35.73876557934912,51.50785446166992"
}
]
}
},
{
"FileName":"2.jpg",
"ContentTypeID":2,
"ContentDetailMetadata":[
{
"Metadata":{
"ID":2,
"Value":"2017-08-02 09:40:30"
}
},
{
"Metadata":{
"ID":1,
"Value":"35.73876557934912,51.50785446166992"
}
}
]
}
]
}
}
"
and the code I use to do it is :
realm.createObjectFromJson(json)
{
"Content":{
"ContentDetail":[
{
"FileName":"test.mp3",
"ContentTypeID":3,
"ContentDetailMetadata":[{
"Metadata":[
{
"ID":2,
"Value":"2017-08-02 09:40:30"
},
{
"ID":1,
"Value":"35.73876557934912,51.50785446166992"
}
]
}]
},
Translates to:
public class Root extends RealmObject {
private Content Content;
}
public class Content extends RealmObject {
private RealmList<ContentDetail> ContentDetail;
#LinkingObjects("Content")
private final RealmResults<Root> roots = null;
}
public class ContentDetail extends RealmObject {
private String FileName;
private long ContentTypeID;
//private ContentDetailMetadata ContentDetailMetadata;
private RealmList<ContentDetailMetadata> ContentDetailMetadata;
#LinkingObjects("ContentDetail")
private final RealmResults<Content> contents = null;
}
public class ContentDetailMetadata extends RealmObject {
private RealmList<Metadata> Metadata;
#LinkingObjects("ContentDetailMetadata")
private final RealmResults<ContentDetail> contentDetails = null;
}
public class Metadata extends RealmObject {
private long ID;
private String Value;
#LinkingObjects("Metadata")
private final RealmResults<ContentDetailMetadata> contentDetailMetadatas = null;
}
If your schema doesn't look like that, then createOrUpdateFromJson() won't work.
Personally I would advise against using this schema though, it's pretty bad as a Realm schema. It's advisable to parse the JSON and then map it into a schema that makes more sense!
It looks like your JSON has put all fields for the Content object under the Context JSON object instead of directly under the top-level object where it should be.
If you do this, it should work:
realm.createObjectFromJson(Content.class, json.getJSONObject("Content"));
I'm new to Jackson. I've tried to parse Json string to an object but jackson returns an object with all null values. Here is code of my parser:
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
FullTextRetrievalResponse object =
mapper.readValue(response.getBody().getObject().toString(),
FullTextRetrievalResponse.class);
Here is my FullTextRetrievalResponse class:
#JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL)
#JsonPropertyOrder({
"coredata",
"scopus-id",
"scopus-eid",
"link",
"originalText"
})
public class FullTextRetrievalResponse {
#JsonProperty("coredata")
private Coredata coredata;
#JsonProperty("scopus-id")
private String scopusId;
#JsonProperty("scopus-eid")
private String scopusEid;
#JsonProperty("link")
private Link_ link;
#JsonProperty("originalText")
private OriginalText originalText;
#JsonIgnore
private Map<String, Object> additionalProperties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
#JsonProperty("coredata")
public Coredata getCoredata() {
return coredata;
}
#JsonProperty("coredata")
public void setCoredata(Coredata coredata) {
this.coredata = coredata;
}
#JsonProperty("scopus-id")
public String getScopusId() {
return scopusId;
}
#JsonProperty("scopus-id")
public void setScopusId(String scopusId) {
this.scopusId = scopusId;
}
#JsonProperty("scopus-eid")
public String getScopusEid() {
return scopusEid;
}
#JsonProperty("scopus-eid")
public void setScopusEid(String scopusEid) {
this.scopusEid = scopusEid;
}
#JsonProperty("link")
public Link_ getLink() {
return link;
}
#JsonProperty("link")
public void setLink(Link_ link) {
this.link = link;
}
#JsonProperty("originalText")
public OriginalText getOriginalText() {
return originalText;
}
#JsonProperty("originalText")
public void setOriginalText(OriginalText originalText) {
this.originalText = originalText;
}
#JsonAnyGetter
public Map<String, Object> getAdditionalProperties() {
return this.additionalProperties;
}
#JsonAnySetter
public void setAdditionalProperty(String name, Object value) {
this.additionalProperties.put(name, value);
}
and here is part of JSON:

The issue is that in your json object you have the field full-text-retrieval-response wrapping all your object, but in your java classes, the FullTextRetrievalResponse is the root.
I think you have 3 options
Change the json structure (supposing you can do that), removing the full-text-retrieval-response label (https://pastebin.com/MtxXSeDW)
Create a new class having an instance of FullTextRetrievalResponse as a json property:
public class FullTextRetrievalResponseWrapper {
#JsonProperty("full-text-retrieval-response")
private FullTextRetrievalResponse fullTextRetrievalResponse;
//setters and getters
}
And then make the serialization using this new class: mapper.readValue(response.getBody().getObject().toString(),
FullTextRetrievalResponseWrapper .class);
Create a custon json deserializer (http://www.baeldung.com/jackson-deserialization) to convert yourself the json object to your class.
Just another quick tip: if you are defining a field as a json property (#JsonProperty), you do not need to define the #JsonSetter, #JsonGetter or even the #JsonProperty in the setters and getters.
I have a specific json response from server, where under a key the content would be of different models also at a time only one of the model data would be present under the key.
While parsing the response into POJO how can I specify object type at runtime based on other field of contentType on same model.
Following is the code for better understanding of scenario.
Here content_type is type A and so under "content" key there would be model for object of class TypeA
"scheduled_content": {
"some_field": "value",
"content_type": "typeA",
"content" : {
"some_field" : "value"
"more_feilds" : "value"
}
}
Here content_type is type B and so under "content" key there would be model for object of class TypeB
"scheduled_content": {
"some_field": "value",
"content_type": "typeB",
"content" : {
"some_field_b" : "value"
"more_fields_for_b" : "value"
}
}
How can I write POJO classes to parse such json response?
The type classes are completely different models they don't have any field in common.
I believe that what you are looking for is called, in Jackson JSON terms, polymorphic deserialization by property name.
Here is how I do it with Jackson 2.1.4:
First create an abstract class ScheduledContent with common members and an abstract method that would operate on the content. Use the JsonTypeInfo annotation to mark the JSON property that would resolve the specific implementation and the JsonSubTypes annotation to register the subtypes by the values of the property previously specified:
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonSetter;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonSubTypes;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonTypeInfo;
#JsonTypeInfo(use = JsonTypeInfo.Id.NAME, include = JsonTypeInfo.As.PROPERTY, property = "content_type")
#JsonSubTypes({
#JsonSubTypes.Type(name = "typeA", value = ScheduledAContent.class),
#JsonSubTypes.Type(name = "typeB", value = ScheduledBContent.class)
})
public abstract class ScheduledContent {
private String someField;
#JsonSetter("some_field")
public void setSomeField(String someField) {
this.someField = someField;
}
public abstract void doSomethingWithContent();
}
The subtypes registration can also be done on the ObjectMapper as you will see later.
Then add the specific implementation for the ScheduledAContent class:
public class ScheduledAContent extends ScheduledContent {
private TypeAContent content;
public void setContent(TypeAContent content) {
this.content = content;
}
#Override
public void doSomethingWithContent() {
System.out.println("someField: " + content.getSomeField());
System.out.println("anotherField: " + content.getAnotherField());
}
}
with TypeAContent being:
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonSetter;
public class TypeAContent {
private String someField;
private String anotherField;
#JsonSetter("some_field")
public void setSomeField(String someField) {
this.someField = someField;
}
public String getSomeField() {
return someField;
}
#JsonSetter("another_field")
public void setAnotherField(String anotherField) {
this.anotherField = anotherField;
}
public String getAnotherField() {
return anotherField;
}
}
and also for the ScheduledBContent class:
public class ScheduledBContent extends ScheduledContent {
private TypeBContent content;
public void setContent(TypeBContent content) {
this.content = content;
}
#Override
public void doSomethingWithContent() {
System.out.println("someField: " + content.getSomeField());
System.out.println("anotherField: " + content.getAnotherField());
}
}
with TypeBContent being:
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonSetter;
public class TypeBContent {
private String someField;
private String anotherField;
#JsonSetter("some_field_b")
public void setSomeField(String someField) {
this.someField = someField;
}
public String getSomeField() {
return someField;
}
#JsonSetter("another_field_b")
public void setAnotherField(String anotherField) {
this.anotherField = anotherField;
}
public String getAnotherField() {
return anotherField;
}
}
And a simple Test class:
import java.io.IOException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.jsontype.NamedType;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String jsonA = "{" +
"\"some_field\": \"main_some_field1\"," +
"\"content_type\": \"typeA\"," +
"\"content\" : {" +
" \"some_field\" : \"content_some_field\"," +
" \"another_field\" : \"content_another_field\"" +
"}}";
String jsonB = "{" +
"\"some_field\": \"main_some_field2\"," +
"\"content_type\": \"typeB\"," +
"\"content\" : {" +
" \"some_field_b\" : \"content_some_field_b\"," +
" \"another_field_b\" : \"content_another_field_b\"" +
"}}";
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
/*
* This is another way to register the subTypes if you want to do it dynamically without the use of the
* JsonSubTypes annotation in the ScheduledContent class
*/
// mapper.registerSubtypes(new NamedType(ScheduledAContent.class, "typeA"));
// mapper.registerSubtypes(new NamedType(ScheduledBContent.class, "typeB"));
try {
ScheduledContent scheduledAContent = mapper.readValue(jsonA, ScheduledContent.class);
scheduledAContent.doSomethingWithContent();
ScheduledContent scheduledBContent = mapper.readValue(jsonB, ScheduledContent.class);
scheduledBContent.doSomethingWithContent();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
that will produce the output:
someField: content_some_field
anotherField: content_another_field
someField: content_some_field_b
anotherField: content_another_field_b
Using #JsonSetter in the setter methods may help. But in this case you will need to create setter methods for each type of fields in "content".
#JsonSetter("some_field")
public void setSomeField1(String field1) {
this.field1 = field1;
}
#JsonSetter("some_field_b")
public void setSomeField2(String field2) {
this.field1 = field1;
}
I'm attempting to deserialize some MediaWiki context from JSON using Jackson into POJOs. However, the problem is that one of the JSON object names is the integer ID value of the article, so using an annotation like #JsonProperty can't be used because the value is never constant.
Here's some sample JSON to describe what I mean:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Albert%20Einstein&prop=info&format=json&indexpageids
{
"query": {
"pageids": [
"736"
],
"pages": {
"736": {
"pageid": 736,
"ns": 0,
"title": "Albert Einstein",
"contentmodel": "wikitext",
"pagelanguage": "en",
"touched": "2014-01-05T03:14:23Z",
"lastrevid": 588780054,
"counter": "",
"length": 106159
}
}
}
}
(MediaWiki recommends adding the &indexpageids parameter to assist with parsing, however I can't see how it would be useful to me.)
I tried using the #JsonAnyGetter and #JsonAnySetter annotations as well but they don't appear to help, throwing the same exception com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.UnrecognizedPropertyException: Unrecognized field "736" (class WikipediaPages), not marked as ignorable (one known property: "wikipediaPage"]).
Thanks for any and all assistance.
Edit: Here's what the relevant classes look like at the moment:
public class WikipediaPages {
private Map<String, WikipediaPage> wikipediaPageMap = new HashMap<String, WikipediaPage>();
public Map<String, WikipediaPage> getWikipediaPageMap() {
return wikipediaPageMap;
}
public void setWikipediaPageMap(Map<String, WikipediaPage> wikipediaPageMap) {
this.wikipediaPageMap = wikipediaPageMap;
}
}
I use a Jackson Mixin to apply annotations:
public interface WikipediaPagesMixIn {
#JsonAnyGetter
Map<String, WikipediaPage> getWikipediaPageMap();
#JsonAnySetter
void setWikipediaPageMap(Map<String, WikipediaPage> wikipediaPageMap);
}
Edit 2: More code, as requested:
public class JacksonBuilder {
private static ObjectMapper objectMapper;
public static ObjectMapper getObjectMapper() {
if(objectMapper == null) {
objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
objectMapper.registerModule(new WikipediaModule());
}
return objectMapper;
}
}
public class WikipediaModule extends SimpleModule {
public WikipediaModule() {
super("WikipediaModule", new Version(1, 0, 0, null, "net.ryanmorrison", "sentience"));
}
#Override
public void setupModule(SetupContext setupContext) {
setupContext.setMixInAnnotations(WikipediaPage.class, WikipediaPageMixIn.class);
setupContext.setMixInAnnotations(WikipediaPages.class, WikipediaPagesMixIn.class);
setupContext.setMixInAnnotations(WikipediaQuery.class, WikipediaQueryMixIn.class);
setupContext.setMixInAnnotations(WikipediaResult.class, WikipediaResultMixIn.class);
}
}
public class WikipediaResult {
private WikipediaQuery wikipediaQuery;
public WikipediaQuery getWikipediaQuery() {
return wikipediaQuery;
}
public void setWikipediaQuery(WikipediaQuery wikipediaQuery) {
this.wikipediaQuery = wikipediaQuery;
}
}
public interface WikipediaResultMixIn {
#JsonProperty("query")
WikipediaQuery getWikipediaQuery();
}
To answer the root cause of your exception, the #JsonAnySetter javadoc states
Marker annotation that can be used to define a non-static,
two-argument method (first argument name of property, second value to
set), [...]
As such, using a mixin like this
#JsonAnySetter
void setWikipediaPageMap(Map<String, WikipediaPage> wikipediaPageMap);
doesn't register it and therefore the property isn't found.
Honestly, don't use mixins if you control the data classes. You can directly map the fields as I've shown below.
I don't know how you are using your mixin, but the following works for me
String json = "{ \"query\": { \"pageids\": [ \"736\" ], \"pages\": { \"736\": { \"pageid\": 736, \"ns\": 0, \"title\": \"Albert Einstein\", \"contentmodel\": \"wikitext\", \"pagelanguage\": \"en\", \"touched\": \"2014-01-05T03:14:23Z\", \"lastrevid\": 588780054, \"counter\": \"\", \"length\": 106159 } } } }";
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
JsonNode node =mapper.readTree(json);
node = node.get("query").get("pages");
Map<String, Page> pages = mapper.readValue(node.traverse(), new TypeReference<Map<String, Page>>() {
});
System.out.println(pages);
prints
{736=Page [pageid=736, ns=0, title=Albert Einstein, contentmodel=wikitext, pagelanguage=en, touched=2014-01-05T03:14:23Z, lastrevid=588780054, counter=, length=106159]}
Where Page is
class Page {
private int pageid;
private int ns;
private String title;
private String contentmodel;
private String pagelanguage;
private String touched; // this could be a Date, with the appropriate format configuration
private int lastrevid;
private String counter;
private int length;
#Override
public String toString() {
return "Page [pageid=" + pageid + ", ns=" + ns + ", title=" + title
+ ", contentmodel=" + contentmodel + ", pagelanguage="
+ pagelanguage + ", touched=" + touched + ", lastrevid="
+ lastrevid + ", counter=" + counter + ", length=" + length
+ "]";
}
public int getPageid() {
return pageid;
}
public void setPageid(int pageid) {
this.pageid = pageid;
}
public int getNs() {
return ns;
}
public void setNs(int ns) {
this.ns = ns;
}
public String getTitle() {
return title;
}
public void setTitle(String title) {
this.title = title;
}
public String getContentmodel() {
return contentmodel;
}
public void setContentmodel(String contentmodel) {
this.contentmodel = contentmodel;
}
public String getPagelanguage() {
return pagelanguage;
}
public void setPagelanguage(String pagelanguage) {
this.pagelanguage = pagelanguage;
}
public String getTouched() {
return touched;
}
public void setTouched(String touched) {
this.touched = touched;
}
public int getLastrevid() {
return lastrevid;
}
public void setLastrevid(int lastrevid) {
this.lastrevid = lastrevid;
}
public String getCounter() {
return counter;
}
public void setCounter(String counter) {
this.counter = counter;
}
public int getLength() {
return length;
}
public void setLength(int length) {
this.length = length;
}
}
All that is left is to put the Map<String, Page> as a field in some wrapper class for the query and pages JSON elements.
