I'm having a hard time at getting response as JSON format while sending post method.
My controller and response class is below. Also I used Jackson dependencies at my pom.xml
and, I'm using @RestController
as Controller annotation.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
<version>2.8.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>2.8.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<artifactId>jackson-annotations</artifactId>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<version>2.8.0</version>
</dependency>
I'm expecting response to be as {Avalue:a, Bvalue:b} but instead it returns null for response. Can you help me to find where I'm missing?
@RestController
public class Controller{
private PostService postService;
@RequestMapping(value = "/create", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = {MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE})
public ResponseEntity<PostResponse> create(@RequestBody VInfo v) {
VInfo created = postService.createVInfo(v);
PostResponse pr = new PostResponse();
if (created == null) {
return new ResponseEntity(HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
} else {
pr.a_value= v.a_value;
pr.b_value= v.b_value;
return new ResponseEntity<PostResponse>(pr,HttpStatus.OK);
}
}
}
public class PostResponse {
@JsonProperty("Avalue")
public String A_VALUE;
@JsonProperty("Bvalue")
public String B_VALUE;
}
@Service
public class PostService {
@Autowired
private CreateVRepository postRepository;
public VInfo createVInfo(VInfo vInfo){
VInfo v1= new VInfo ();
v1.setA_VALUE(vInfo.getA_VALUE());
v1.setB_VALUE(vInfo.getB_VALUE());
postRepository.save(v1);
return v1;
}
}
I used logger at my controller and I can see logger passing to else brackets without any problem. When I log my pr.a and pr.b objects, they returns expected values. However response still returns null.
You have A_VALUE and B_VALUE as attributes in your class whereas you're setting values of a_value and b_value.
Do Autowire your PostService class and also remove these(Jackson) dependencies when you have starter-web dependency already. I would also recommend you to use Lombok's @Data and @NoArgsConstructor annotations at class level.
