I am trying to receive a JSON object in @RequestBody which is not known to me i.e. the JSON Object could be of any length and data.
Let's say, JSON could be as shown below
{'seqNo': 10 }
{'country': 'US', 'state': 'CA'}
{'customer': 'Alex', product: 'UPS', date:'25-Mar-2018'}
And In Spring Boot Api, I have a method to receive that JSON Object.
@PostMapping(value = "/lookup")
public ResponseEntity<AppResponse> getLookup(@RequestBody LookupRequestObject lookupRequestObject) {
// THIS METHOD KNOWS WHICH FIELD TO USE
// FURTHER LOGIC WOULD BE HERE.
return ResponseEntity.ok(response);
}
I have read about Jackson Serialization but still finding solution for this.
Customize the Jackson ObjectMapper
Any help would be much appreciated.
You could just use a map for your input. Then you can access filed in the map depending on what kind of fields it contains.
@PostMapping(value = "/lookup")
public ResponseEntity<AppResponse> getLookup(@RequestBody Map<String, Object> lookupRequestObject) {
// THIS METHOD KNOWS WHICH FIELD TO USE
// FURTHER LOGIC WOULD BE HERE.
return ResponseEntity.ok(response);
}
