No suitable constructor found for type GeoJsonPoint


Having a lot of trouble figuring out what I'm doing wrong. Sadly I had it working at one point, but can't determine what I changed that broke it.

From what I understand this should be fully supported now.

Object in question:

@Document
public class Place {

    public final static String URI = "/place";

    @Id private String id;

    private String name;

    private String caption;

    private GeoJsonPoint location;

    public Place() {}

    public Place(GeoJsonPoint geoJsonPoint) {
        this.location = geoJsonPoint;
    }

    // Proper getters & setters clipped.
}

The call (My version of Spring Boot includes the extra x/y coords for some reason.)

{
    "id": null,
    "name": null,
    "caption": null,
    "location": {
        "x": 41.988161,
        "y": -87.6911499,
        "type": "Point",
        "coordinates": [
            41.988161,
            -87.6911499
        ]
    }
}

The Pom (Maybe I have the wrong/clashing dependencies?)

Solution

  • FINALLY got this working.

    Created a custom JsonDeserializer

    public class GeoJsonDeserializer extends JsonDeserializer<GeoJsonPoint> {
    
        private final static String GEOJSON_TYPE_POINT = "Point";
    
        private final static String JSON_KEY_GEOJSON_TYPE = "type";
        private final static String JSON_KEY_GEOJSON_COORDS = "coordinates";
    
    
        @Override
        public GeoJsonPoint deserialize(JsonParser jp, DeserializationContext ctxt) throws IOException {
    
            final JsonNode tree = jp.getCodec().readTree(jp);
            final String type = tree.get(JSON_KEY_GEOJSON_TYPE).asText();
            final JsonNode coordsNode = tree.get(JSON_KEY_GEOJSON_COORDS);
    
            double x = 0;
            double y = 0;
            if(GEOJSON_TYPE_POINT.equalsIgnoreCase(type)) {
                x = coordsNode.get(0).asDouble();
                y = coordsNode.get(1).asDouble();
            }
    
            else {
                System.out.println(String.format("No logic present to deserialize %s ", tree.asText()));
            }
    
            final GeoJsonPoint point = new GeoJsonPoint(x, y);
    
            return point;
        }
    }
    

    Then I just specified the a converter on the property itself.

    @JsonDeserialize(using = GeoJsonDeserializer.class)
    private GeoJsonPoint location;
