I have a student class with few fields. For some reason, I am not getting "created" object created in Student object. When i send GET call to receive information of all student objects, I see only first 4 parameters. It is missing created field missing. What am I missing?
In Student constructor I have defined "this.created = new Date();" to assign value to created field.
public class Student {
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private String address;
private String enrolledDepartment;
private Date created;
public Student() {
}
public Student(String firstName, String lastName, String address, String departmentName){
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.address = address;
this.enrolledDepartment = departmentName;
this.created = new Date();
}
// Getter and setters of all fields
}
Resource class
#Path("/students")
#Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public class StudentsResource {
List<Student> students = new ArrayList<>();
private StudentService studentService = new StudentService();
#GET
public List<Student> getProfiles() {
return studentService.getAllStudents();
}
#POST
public Student addProfile(Student profile) {
return studentService.addProfile(profile);
}
}
Service class
public class StudentService {
private List<Student> students = DatabaseClass.getStudents();
public List<Student> getAllStudents() {
return students;
}
public Student addProfile(Student student) {
students.add(student);
return student;
}
}
Database class
public class DatabaseClass {
private static List<Student> students = new ArrayList<>();
private static List<Email> emails = new ArrayList<>();
public static List<Student> getStudents() {
return students;
}
public static List<Email> getEmails() {
return emails;
}
}
I am sending a POST request using following JSON
{
"address": "Boston",
"enrolledDepartment": "health",
"firstName": "abc",
"lastName": "pqr"
}
Add this to the "default constructor":
public Student() {
this.created = new Date();
}
...the constructor, that you assume, is not called, thus created remains null.
or even:
// ...
private Date created = new Date();
public Student() {
}
public Student(String firstName, String lastName, String address, String departmentName){
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.address = address;
this.enrolledDepartment = departmentName;
//this.created = new Date();
}
(initialize it in the declaration.)

I have created a Person, class and a Professor class that both use the Builder Pattern to create objects. The Professor class takes a Person object as an argument in its constructor. I am trying to use both classes together, but when I attempt to print out a professor, get the following output: null null (instead of Bob Smith).
Here's what I tried so far:
Person:
public class Person {
private String firstname;
private String lastname;
private int age;
private String phoneNumber;
private String emailAddress;
private char gender;
public Person(){}
// builder pattern chosen due to number of instance fields
public static class PersonBuilder {
// required parameters
private final String firstname;
private final String lastname;
// optional parameters
private int age;
private String phoneNumber;
private String emailAddress;
private char gender;
public PersonBuilder(String firstname, String lastname) {
this.firstname = firstname;
this.lastname = lastname;
}
public PersonBuilder age(int age) {
this.age = age;
return this;
}
public PersonBuilder phoneNumber(String phoneNumber) {
this.phoneNumber = phoneNumber;
return this;
}
public PersonBuilder emailAddress(String emailAddress) {
this.emailAddress = emailAddress;
return this;
}
public PersonBuilder gender(char gender) {
this.gender = gender;
return this;
}
public Person build() {
return new Person(this);
}
}
// person constructor
private Person(PersonBuilder builder) {
this.firstname = builder.firstname;
this.lastname = builder.lastname;
this.age = builder.age;
this.phoneNumber = builder.phoneNumber;
this.emailAddress = builder.emailAddress;
this.gender = builder.gender;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return this.firstname + " " + this.lastname;
}
}
Here's the Professor class:
package com.example.hardcodedloginform;
import java.util.List;
public class Professor extends Person{
private Person professor;
private double salary;
private String courseTaught;
private List<Student> students;
private int professorID;
public static class ProfessorBuilder {
// required fields
private Person professor;
private int professorID;
// optional fields
private double salary;
private String courseTaught;
private List<Student> students;
public ProfessorBuilder(Person professor, int professorID) {
this.professor = professor;
this.professorID = professorID;
}
public ProfessorBuilder salary(double salary) {
this.salary = salary;
return this;
}
public ProfessorBuilder courseTaught(String courseTaught) {
this.courseTaught = courseTaught;
return this;
}
public ProfessorBuilder students(List<Student> students) {
this.students = students;
return this;
}
public Professor build() {
return new Professor(this);
}
}
private Professor(ProfessorBuilder builder) {
this.salary = builder.salary;
this.courseTaught = builder.courseTaught;
this.students = builder.students;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return "" + super.toString();
}
}
And here is the Main class where I try to print out a professor object:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Person profBobs = new Person.PersonBuilder("Bob", "Smith")
.age(35)
.emailAddress("bob.smith#SNHU.edu")
.gender('M')
.phoneNumber("818-987-6574")
.build();
Professor profBob = new Professor.ProfessorBuilder(profBobs, 12345)
.courseTaught("MAT101")
.salary(15230.01)
.build();
System.out.println(profBob);
}
}
I would like the printout in the console to be "Bob Smith", but what I am seeing is: null null. I checked and found that the Person object profBobs is, in fact, created properly and does print out the name "Bob Smith" when I attempt to print it the same way. I don't know why my Professor prints: null null.
Your Professor constructor fails to initialise any member fields of its base class.
There are multiple ways to solve this. One solution has ProfessorBuilder extend PersonBuilder:
public class Professor extends Person {
// Remove the `person` field! A professor *is-a* person, it does not *contain* it.
private double salary;
private String courseTaught;
private List<Student> students;
private int professorID;
public static class ProfessorBuilder extends Person.PersonBuilder {
// required fields
private int professorID;
// optional fields
private double salary;
private String courseTaught;
private List<Student> students;
public ProfessorBuilder(Person professor, int professorID) {
super(professor);
this.professorID = professorID;
}
// …
}
private Professor(ProfessorBuilder builder) {
super(builder);
this.salary = builder.salary;
this.courseTaught = builder.courseTaught;
this.students = builder.students;
}
}
For this to work you also need to mark the Person constructor as protected rather than private.
Furthermore, your Professor.toString method implementation made no sense: it essentially just called the base class method, so there’s no need to override it. And prepending the empty string does nothing.
I converted UUID to string (String id) and put the conversion inside a method.
I also declared other String variables such as FirstName etc and put in on an ArrayList:
Code
The code does work. But I'm confused why the string email was showing second on the list.
public class StudentController {
#Autowired
StudentService studentService = new StudentService();
#GetMapping
public List<Student> displayStudent(){
return studentService.getStudent();
}
}
public class StudentService {
Student student = new Student();
private List<Student> studentList = Arrays.asList(
new Student(student.genID(),"Elvis" , "Presley" ,"Elvis#gmail.com")
);
public List<Student> getStudent(){
return studentList;
}
}
public class Student {
UUID uuid = UUID.randomUUID();
private String id;
private String FirstName;
private String LastName;
private String email;
public Student() {}
//Method Converting UUID into string
public String genID(){
id = uuid.toString();
return id;
}
public Student(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
public Student(String id, String firstName, String lastName, String email) {
this.id = id;
FirstName = firstName;
LastName = lastName;
this.email = email;
}
public String getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return FirstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
FirstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return LastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
LastName = lastName;
}
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
this.email = email;
}
}
Expected
I expected data to be in this order
ID , FirstName , LastName , email
Actual Output JSON
JSON is an unordered collection, as specified on https://www.json.org/json-en.html , so you don't have to worry about it. It might depend on library though.
Specify the serialized order of properties
The order of properties during serialization can be defined in Jackson.
Either at class-level specifically using annotation #JsonPropertyOrder.
Or globally for your ObjectMapper using a feature:
objectMapper.configure(MapperFeature.SORT_PROPERTIES_ALPHABETICALLY, true)
Example
In your case you can achieve expected order using the annotation on your class:
#JsonPropertyOrder({'id', 'firstName', 'lastName', 'email'})
public class Student {
// body of your class
}
Or separately with an index on your fields:
public class Student {
#JsonProperty(index=10)
private String id;
// not ordered specifically
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
#JsonProperty(index=20)
private String email;
// remainder of your class
}

I need to create a JSON object structure from set of java pojo classes. This will provide a better understand of how the objects are structured by just looking at the Json file. I tried both Gson and org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper libraries. But couldn't generate all the Json tags relevant to all the fields in java pojo objects. The created json file is only having the values from the values stetted objects. I need to have all the fields of pojo objects in the Json file.
Gson
Hotel hotel = new Hotel(); //This hotel object includes multiple objects and those objects also include multiple objects, lists
Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().create();
String json = gson.toJson(hotel);
System.out.println(json);
ObjectMapper
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.writeValue(new File("/home/Pojos.json");
This is the class and json response I got.
Hotel.java
package datatypes;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Hotel {
private String hotelCode;
private String chainCode;
private String hotelName;
private List<Room> rooms = new ArrayList<Room>();
private List<RoomRateRestriction> roomRateRestrictions
= new ArrayList<RoomRateRestriction>();
public String getHotelCode() {
return hotelCode;
}
public void setHotelCode(String hotelCode) {
this.hotelCode = hotelCode;
}
public String getChainCode() {
return chainCode;
}
public void setChainCode(String chainCode) {
this.chainCode = chainCode;
}
public String getHotelName() {
return hotelName;
}
public void setHotelName(String hotelName) {
this.hotelName = hotelName;
}
public List<Room> getRooms() {
return rooms;
}
public void setRooms(List<Room> rooms) {
this.rooms = rooms;
}
public void addRoom(Room room){
this.rooms.add(room);
}
public List<RoomRateRestriction> getRoomRateRestrictions() {
return roomRateRestrictions;
}
public void setRoomRateRestrictions(
List<RoomRateRestriction> roomRateRestrictions) {
this.roomRateRestrictions = roomRateRestrictions;
}
public void addRoomRateRestrictions(
RoomRateRestriction roomRateRestriction) {
this.roomRateRestrictions.add(roomRateRestriction);
}
}
JSON
{
"rooms":[],
"roomRateRestrictions":[]
}
Add serializeNulls() on GsonBuilder() to serialize null fields
Configure Gson to serialize null fields. By default, Gson omits all fields that are null
* during serialization.
class Hotel {
private String name;
private List<Guest> guests = new ArrayList<>(Collections.singleton(new Guest())); //you have to set a value in order to get the structure of the Guest class otherwise it will show an empty list []
//getter setter
}
class Guest {
private String name;
//getter setter
}
Gson
Hotel hotel = new Hotel();
Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().serializeNulls().create();
String json = gson.toJson(hotel);
System.out.println(json);
Output
{
"name":null,
"guests":[
{
"name":null
}
]
}
You can use jackson-databind library.
Maven dependency is :

<version>2.9.10</version>
</dependency>
Also please find some of sample example below. Here I used Employee Object which is having nested Address object inside it.
Employee.java
public class Employee {
private int empId;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private double salary;
private Address address;
public Employee() {}
public Employee(int empId, String firstName, String lastName, double salary) {
this.empId = empId;
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.salary = salary;
}
public Employee(int empId, String firstName, String lastName, double salary, Address address) {
this.empId = empId;
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.salary = salary;
this.address = address;
}
public int getEmpId() {
return empId;
}
public void setEmpId(int empId) {
this.empId = empId;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public double getSalary() {
return salary;
}
public void setSalary(double salary) {
this.salary = salary;
}
public Address getAddress() {
return address;
}
public void setAddress(Address address) {
this.address = address;
}
}
Address.java
public class Address {
private String street;
private String city;
private String state;
private String zip;
private String country;
public Address() {}
public Address(String street, String city, String state, String zip, String country) {
this.street = street;
this.city = city;
this.state = state;
this.zip = zip;
this.country = country;
}
public String getStreet() {
return street;
}
public void setStreet(String street) {
this.street = street;
}
public String getCity() {
return city;
}
public void setCity(String city) {
this.city = city;
}
public String getState() {
return state;
}
public void setState(String state) {
this.state = state;
}
public String getZip() {
return zip;
}
public void setZip(String zip) {
this.zip = zip;
}
public String getCountry() {
return country;
}
public void setCountry(String country) {
this.country = country;
}
}
I converted a Sample java pojo class to Json and also JSON to pojo object back.
JacksonConvertion.java
public class JacksonConvertion {
public static void main(String[] args) {
pojoToJson();
jsonToPojo();
}
private static void pojoToJson() {
try {
System.out.println("Convert Object to json ");
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
Address address = new Address("#103, 1st cross, manyta tech park", "Bengaluru", "Karnataka", "560010",
"India");
Address address1 = new Address();
address1.setCity("Bengaluru");
address1.setState("Karnataka");
address1.setCountry("India");
Employee emp = new Employee(1233, "Raju", "BG", 98734.23, address1);
mapper.writeValue(new File("staff.json"), emp);
String jsonString = mapper.writeValueAsString(emp);
System.out.println(jsonString);
} catch (JsonProcessingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private static void jsonToPojo() {
try {
System.out.println("Convert Json to Object ");
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
Employee employee = mapper.readValue(new File("staff.json"), Employee.class);
System.out.println(employee.getFirstName());
System.out.println(employee.getSalary());
System.out.println(employee.getAddress().getCity());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

I am implementing a sample Spring MVC Form with Form Validation. I have a complex type Address as bean property for Student form bean. And I have added form validation #NotEmpty for Address bean properties. But the same is not reflecting in the UI. But form validation works for other primitive types of Student form bean.
So, Validation works perfectly for Student form bean but not for nested complex types like Address within Student form bean.
I am trying understand the reason and a fix.

You need to annotate your complex types with #Valid.
This is the reference (which references here)
Hi lets try #ModelAttribute("student") #Valid com.xyz.form.beans.Student studentFormBean in place of #Valid #ModelAttribute("student")
For nested complex types, you have to activate the direct field access. Just like below:
#org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ControllerAdvice
public class ControllerAdvice {
#InitBinder
public void initBinder(WebDataBinder webDataBinder) {
webDataBinder.initDirectFieldAccess();
}
I have a problem in realisation of Builder pattern.
I have 2 classes:
package course_2;
import java.util.Date;
public class Student {
private static int idStart = 0;
private final int id = idStart++;
private String name;
private String surname;
private String secondName;
private Date birthDate;
private String address;
private String phone;
private int course;
private int group;
public static class Builder {
// Обязательные параметры
private final String name;
private final String surname;
private final Date birthDate;
// Необязательные параметры, инициализация по умолчанию
private String secondName = "";
private String address = "";
private String phone = "";
private int course = 1;
private int group = 1;
public Builder(String name, String surname, Date birthDate) {
this.name = name;
this.surname = surname;
this.birthDate = (Date) birthDate.clone();
}
public Builder SecondName(String secondName) {
this.secondName = secondName;
return this;
}
public Builder address(String address) {
this.address = address;
return this;
}
public Builder phone(String phone) {
this.phone = phone;
return this;
}
public Builder course(int course) {
this.course = course;
return this;
}
public Builder group(int group) {
this.group = group;
return this;
}
}
private Student(Builder builder) {
this.name = builder.name;
this.surname = builder.surname;
this.secondName = builder.secondName;
this.birthDate = builder.birthDate;
this.address = builder.address;
this.phone = builder.phone;
this.course = builder.course;
this.group = builder.group;
}
}
The problem is when I'm trying to call a Builder from my client code:
Student studentOne = new Student.Builder("Andrue", "Booble", /*Date variable here*/);
I'm getting a compiler problem :
Error:(24, 30) java: incompatible types: course_2.Student.Builder
cannot be converted to course_2.Student
Can somebody help me with understanding, why does this happen and how I can solve it? Thanks!
You need to add the following to your Builder:
public Student build(){
return new Student(this);
}
And call it like this:
Student studentOne = new Student.Builder("Andrue", "Booble", null).build();
new Student.Builder("Andrue", "Booble", /*Date variable here*/); returns you builder object not student.
Your factory is missing method create which invoke Student constructor
it should looks like this
public Student create(){
return new student (this);
}
and be implemented inside Builder class
now if you want to create Student, you call
Student studentOne = new Student.Builder("Andrue", "Booble", /*Date variable here*/).create();
