PUT request with JSON payload sent from Postman, nested object not parsed - java

I didn't have this problem before, with other POJOs, I'm not sure what's different this time, but I can't get this working and I could not find an exact solution for this.
I have this POJO called Component (with some Hibernate annotations):
#Entity
#Table(name="component", uniqueConstraints={#UniqueConstraint(
columnNames = {"name", "component_type"})})
public class Component {
#Column(name="id")
#Id #GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
private int id;
#Column(name="name")
private String name;
#Column(name="component_type")
private String componentType;
#Column(name="serial_number")
private int serialNumber;
#Column(name="active_since")
private String activeSince;
#Embedded
private ComponentWearoutModel wearout;
public Component() {
}
public Component(String name, String componentType, int serialNumber, String activeSince,
ComponentWearoutModel wearout) {
this.name = name;
this.componentType = componentType;
this.serialNumber = serialNumber;
this.activeSince = activeSince;
this.wearout = wearout;
}
public ComponentWearoutModel getModel() {
return wearout;
}
public void setModel(ComponentWearoutModel wearout) {
this.wearout = wearout;
}
//more getters and setters
}
ComponentWearoutModel:
#Embeddable
public class ComponentWearoutModel {
private String componentType; //dont mind the stupid duplicate attribute
private Integer componentLifeExpectancy;
private Float componentWearOutLevel;
private Float actionThreshold;
public ComponentWearoutModel() {
}
public ComponentWearoutModel(String componentType, int componentLifeExpectancy, float componentWearOutLevel,
float actionThreshold) {
this.componentType = componentType;
this.componentLifeExpectancy = componentLifeExpectancy;
this.componentWearOutLevel = componentWearOutLevel;
this.actionThreshold = actionThreshold;
}
//getters and setters
}
The sample payload I use:
{
"name": "component name",
"componentType": "airfilter2",
"serialNumber": 573224,
"activeSince": "2016-04-10 17:38:41",
"wearout":
{
"componentType": "airfilter",
"componentLifeExpectancy": 1000,
"componentWearOutLevel": 0.24,
"actionThreshold": 0.2
}
}
And finally the resource class:
#Path("myresource")
#Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON + ";charset=UTF-8")
public class MyResource {
DatabaseManager dm = DatabaseManager.getInstance();
#PUT
#Path("Component")
public Response storeComponent(Component component){
System.out.println("reached");
System.out.println(component.getComponentType()); //okay
System.out.println(component.getModel().getComponentType()); //nullpointerexception
ComponentWearoutModel model = new ComponentWearoutModel("type", 1000, 1f, 0.2f);
component.setModel(model); //this way it's saved in the db just fine
dm.save(component);
return Response.status(Status.OK).entity(component).build();
}
}
Without the prints, only the fields which are not part of the ComponentWearoutModel class are stored in the database table, the other columns are null. So when I try to print one of them, I get an exception, I just dont understand why. If I create a ComponentWearoutModel in the resource method and add it to the component, everything is fine in the database.
UPDATE:
so my mistake was that I named the ComponentWearoutModel attribute as "wearout" in the Component.class, but the autogenerated getters and setter were called getModel/setModel and moxy could not parse my payload because of this. Solution: change the attribute name to "model" in Component class and in payload too.

Please ensure that the attribute names you are using in the POJO are same as what are being sent in the json string.
Since there are no jackson etc annotations being used in your POJO to tell it the corresponding json mapping, the underlying code will directly use the names given in json string. If you are using the string "model", the convertor code will look for a "setModel" method in your POJO.
In the above example, either call everything "model", or "wearable".

Basic attribute should not be - with my own type

I have a problem with the hibernate entity, and I would like to know if it is something I overlooked or if it is a bug in IntelliJ IDEA.
I have a Value object bank account:
class BankAccount
{
private String value;
public BankAccount(String value) {
// validation
this.value;
}
}
Which has defined it's own hibernate type:
public class BankAccountType extends AbstractSingleColumnStandardBasicType<BankAccount> {
public static final BankAccountType INSTANCE = new BankAccountType();
public static final String NAME = "bankAccount";
public BankAccountType() {
super(LongVarcharTypeDescriptor.INSTANCE, BankAccountTypeDescriptor.INSTANCE);
}
#Override
public String getName() {
return null;
}
}
And I have an entity:
#Entity
#TypeDefs({
#TypeDef(
name = BankAccountType.NAME,
typeClass = BankAccountType.class,
defaultForType = BankAccount.class
)
})
class User {
private UUID id;
//...
#Column
private BankAccount bankAccount;
//...
}
It works perfectly, but IDEA keeps telling me 'Basic attribute should not be BankAccount.'
Is there any way, how to get rid of this error without changing my entities? Is it a good idea to use value objects as a column in my entities?
Thanks a lot!

javax.ws.rs.core.Response build fails to retain object's information

I was trying to implement a rest call. the front end get:
[{},{}]
Resource code:
#Component
#Path(ResourcePaths.ROOT_PATH)
public class VideoResource {
#Autowired
private ReadVideoService readVideoService;
#GET
#Path(ResourcePaths.POPULAR)
#Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
public Response getVideo() {
ResponseBuilder responseBuilder = Response.status(Response.Status.OK);
List<Video> videos = readVideoService.getAllVideos();
//GenericEntity<List<Video>> entity = new GenericEntity<List<Video>>(videos);
//here it is able to print class info(from class member value)
System.out.println(videos.get(0).toString() +" "+ videos.get(1).toString());
return responseBuilder.entity(videos).build();
}
}
but the below line is able to print the info of the objects returned from service layer.
System.out.println(videos.get(0).toString() +" "+ videos.get(1).toString());
So I guess the problem is at this line:
return responseBuilder.entity(videos).build();
I also tried to use GenericEntity:
GenericEntity<List<Video>> entity = new GenericEntity<List<Video>>(videos);
but it result in following error, I don't understand what java.lang.reflect.Type is referring to:
Error:(37, 45) java: constructor GenericEntity in class javax.ws.rs.core.GenericEntity<T> cannot be applied to given types;
required: java.util.List<com.mondo.mondo_service.rest.model.Video>,java.lang.reflect.Type
found: java.util.List<com.mondo.mondo_service.rest.model.Video>
reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length
This is service layer:
#Component
public class ReadVideoService {
#Autowired
public VideoDao videoDao;
public List<Video> getAllVideos() {
return videoDao.findAll();
}
}
This is dao object:
#Repository
public class VideoDao extends BaseDao<Video> {
public List<Video> findAll() {
Session database = sessionFactory.openSession();
Query taskQuery = database.createQuery("select v from Video v");
List<Video> videos = taskQuery.list();
database.close();
return videos;
}
}
Entity object:
#Entity
#Table(name = "md_video")
public class Video implements Serializable{
#Id #GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO) #Column(name="id")
private int id;
private String title;
private String url;
private int duration;
private String img;
private String source;
#Override
public String toString() {
return title;
}
}
--------------update---------------
I tried to decompose below line into three line:
return responseBuilder.entity(videos).build();
to
responseBuilder = responseBuilder.entity(videos);
Response res = responseBuilder.build();
return res;
Strangely I found in the second case when it reaches return res; the Response object res still contains all the entity information. Then why the information lost after it is returned?
Found the problem, I didn't have getters and setters in my entity object. After I added getters and setters, entity info gets returned properly.

Trouble reading JSON from URL to java objects / storing in mysql db

I'm a newbie coder having just finished a 6 month coding crash-course. I'm working on a java webapp to demonstrate my skills, and the project idea I had involves retrieving JSON data from an API, something we didn't learn about in class. I made POJOs to match the JSON, and I'm trying to parse the JSON into java objects to store in a database, however my database tables are never filled with data when I run through the app. I suspect the problem is somewhere with my method to convert the JSON but any feedback is greatly appreciated. Here's all my code I think is relevant, sorry if its TMI. I also apologize if my code is ugly, I'm a beginner... Thanks!
API returns JSON like this:
{
"result":{
"status":1,
"num_results":1,
"total_results":500,
"results_remaining":499,
"matches":[{
"match_id":3188095188,
"match_seq_num":2784956606,
"start_time":1495079320,
"lobby_type":7,
"radiant_team_id":0,
"dire_team_id":0,
"players":[{
"account_id":86920222,
"player_slot":0,
"hero_id":18
},{
"account_id":61122568,
"player_slot":1,
"hero_id":85
},{
"account_id":10208661,
"player_slot":2,
"hero_id":13
},{
"account_id":106083675,
"player_slot":132,
"hero_id":50
}]
}]
}
}
My POJOs:
#Entity
#JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Result {
#JsonIgnore
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private int id;
#JsonProperty("status")
private int status;
#JsonProperty("num_results")

Services method to read and convert the JSON to objects (url is censored, don't want my API key to be public)
public class SteamService {
public static Result getMatchHistory(String steamid){
Result result = new Result();
String MatchHistoryUrl = "https:**URL**="+steamid;
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
Result jsonresult = restTemplate.getForObject(MatchHistoryUrl, Result.class);
return jsonresult;
}
}
Controller
#Controller
#RequestMapping("")
public class HomeController {
#Autowired
private ResultsDao resultsDao;
#RequestMapping(value = "", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String index(Model model){
model.addAttribute("title", "Welcome");
return "home/home";
}
#RequestMapping(value = "", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String processSteamIdField(#RequestParam("steamid")String steamid, Model model) {
Result newresult = getMatchHistory(steamid);
resultsDao.save(newresult);
return "redirect:results";
}
}
DAO
#Repository
#Transactional
public interface ResultsDao extends CrudRepository<Result, Integer>{
}
Maybe my approach is a bit naive, but... If you want to store the JSON as string in the database, then I would use an object mapper for this:
new ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString(myObject);
and for reading a JSON and parsing it to a class I would do:
new ObjectMapper().readValue(JSON_STRING_HERE, "utf-8"), MyPOJO.class);
Also, if you already are using Spring, then your controller may look like this (for a POST, for example)
#RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public MyPojo myController(#RequestBody MyPojo myBody) {
myRepository.save(myBody);
}
So, the parsing of the JSON that the client is sending to your app and your controller is already handled by Spring

SpringMongo - discover document structure

I have a customer's database that has a collection, in which the document fields can vary between each other. There are some constant fields I can rely on, but as for the rest - I have no way of narrowing the field list as the customer wants the solution to be dynamic.
My question is - can I somehow implement a generic mapping that would return, let's say, a map of document's fields using Spring Data?
edit:
Thanks for the tips. I've tried getting the generic Object (hoping I'd be able to convert it into a map) using the entity:
#Document(collection = "Data")
public class DataEntity {
#Id
private String id;
private Object data;
public Object getData() {
return data;
}
public void setData(Object data) {
this.data = data;
}
public String getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
}
but fetching the object by the ID using MongoRepository produces an object with data field set to null.
I'm using SpringBoot 1.3.1.RELEASE with spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb 1.3.1.RELEASE.
You can use a Map for dynamic properties like below. Is this what you are looking for?
#Document(collection = "computers")
public class Computer {
#Id
private String id;
#Field("name")
private String name;
//Other constant fields
#Field("properties")
private Map<String, Object> properties;
}

Spring class RequestBody and MongoRepository

I have class:
class TestClass {
#Id
private ObjectId id;
private ObjectId parentId;
private String name;
private String describe;
private String privateData;
public TestClass(ObjectId parentId, String name, String describe, String privateData) {
this.parrentId = parrentId;
this.name = name;
this.describe = describe;
this.privateDate = privateData;
}
// get/set methods...
}
Can I use this class in MongoRepository and #RequestBody? Is it safe? parrentId and privateData is private properties and RequestBody does not have to fill them.
mongorepository:
public interface TestClassRepository extends MongoRepository<TestClass, String> {
public TestClass findById(ObjectId id);
}
post method:
#RequestMapping(value="/testclass", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public void create(#RequestBody TestClass testClass) {
testClass.setParentId(...);
repo.insert(testClass);
}
For example:
{"name": "test", "describe": "test", "id": "54d5261a8314fe3c650d5b1d", "parentId": "54d5261a8314fe3c650d5b1d", "privateData": "WrongPrivateData"}
How can I do that it was impossible to set properties id, parentId, privateDate?
Or need I create new class for RequestBody? I don't want duplicate code.
It should be better and safe to use separate models for DAO and VO layers(view). If your models currently looks the same, it doesn't mean that they will stay the same in future. You can use the Dozer Mapping framework for mappings between your models. It's easy,fast and safe.
If you need to skip some field from mongotemplate mapping use #Transient annotation.
P.S. You don't need findById method, because mongotemplate already have find method which uses key as param. TestClass should have an empty constructor.
