I am trying to map a JSON response to a POJO, Some of the properties (the properties start wit @) are not able to map hence I am getting the following error.
Please find the JSON and Class files, What are changes to be done on the POJO to map all properties form the below mentioned JSON?
JSON
{
"@customerId": "123456",
"customerName": "Jobin",
"orders": [
{
"orderId": "bvbundle002075",
"address": {
"@elid": "35475908"
},
}
]
}
Customer.java
import java.util.List;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlType;
@XmlRootElement
@XmlType
public class CustomerData implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 9163262900343406982L;
private String customerId;
private String customerName;
private List<Order> orders;
@XmlElement(name = "@customerId")
public String getCustomerId() {
return customerId;
}
public void setCustomerId(final String customerId) {
this.customerId = customerId;
}
public String getCustomerName() {
return customerId;
}
public void setCustomerName(final String customerName) {
this.customerName = customerName;
}
public List<Order> getOrders() {
return orders;
}
public void setExistingProducts(final List<Order> orders) {
this.orders = orders;
}
}
Order.java
class Order implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private String orderId;
private Address address;
public String getOrderId() {
return orderId;
}
public void setOrderId(final String orderId) {
this.orderId = orderId;
}
public Address getAddress() {
return address;
}
public void setAddress(final Address address) {
this.address = address;
}
}
Address.java
class Address implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private String elid;
@XmlElement(name = "@elid")
public String getElid() {
return elid;
}
public void setElid(String elid) {
this.elid = elid;
}
}

The problem was that I was trying to map an xml attribute to an xml element. If you convert the above JSON which is mentioned in the response which will produce an XML like below..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root customerId="123456">
<customerName>Jobin</customerName>
<orders>
<element>
<address elid="35475908" />
<orderId>bvbundle002075</orderId>
</element>
</orders>
</root>
as you can see customerId
and elid
are xml attributes not elements.
So I had to use the below to fix it,
@XmlAttribute(name = "customerNumber") //will map to @customerNumber in JSON
@XmlAttribute(name = "elid") //will map to @elid in JSON
