JPA JSON column access via Jackson Eclipselink & Mysql - mysql

I'm trying to use a JPA entity to access a JSON column in mysql with my current eclipse link provider:
<provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider>
I am aware of this but I do not believe I am using hibernate.
How to map a MySQL JSON column to a Java entity property using JPA and Hibernate
This is the error i'm getting:

springboot server returns error 400 after post request using postman

whenever I try to send this over postman:
{
"date": "2021-11-05 12:32:32",
"start": "start",
"destination": "destination",
"provider": "provider",
"driver":1,
"vehicule":1
}
i get an error 400, bad request, i'm using both the #restController and #requestBody annotations while also setting the content type to json.
i get this error on the debugger:
2021-11-09 16:57:52.086 WARN 11748 --- [nio-8080-exec-1] .w.s.m.s.DefaultHandlerExceptionResolver : Resolved [org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException: JSON parse error: Cannot deserialize value of type `java.util.Date` from String "2021-11-06 12:32:32.0": not a valid representation (error: Failed to parse Date value '2021-11-06 12:32:32.0': Cannot parse date "2021-11-06 12:32:32.0": while it seems to fit format 'yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSX', parsing fails (leniency? null)); nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidFormatException: Cannot deserialize value of type `java.util.Date` from String "2021-11-06 12:32:32.0": not a valid representation (error: Failed to parse Date value '2021-11-06 12:32:32.0': Cannot parse date "2021-11-06 12:32:32.0": while it seems to fit format 'yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSX', parsing fails (leniency? null))
at [Source: (PushbackInputStream); line: 3, column: 17] (through reference chain: com.siam.HRAssistTool.Entity.Schedule["date"])]
I don't understand how i should fix this what i assume date format related issue
when I remove the time from the json body and only leave the date, I get this error:
2021-11-09 17:34:55.418 WARN 11748 --- [nio-8080-exec-4] .w.s.m.s.DefaultHandlerExceptionResolver : Resolved [org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException: JSON parse error: Cannot construct instance of `com.siam.HRAssistTool.Entity.Vehicule` (although at least one Creator exists): no int/Int-argument constructor/factory method to deserialize from Number value (1); nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.MismatchedInputException: Cannot construct instance of `com.siam.HRAssistTool.Entity.Vehicule` (although at least one Creator exists): no int/Int-argument constructor/factory method to deserialize from Number value (1)
at [Source: (PushbackInputStream); line: 8, column: 20] (through reference chain: com.siam.HRAssistTool.Entity.Schedule["vehicule"])]
my schedule entity:
#Entity
public class Schedule implements Serializable {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id ;
private Date date ;
private String Start;
private String destination;
#OneToOne( fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private Staff driver;
#OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private Vehicule vehicule;
private String provider;
//constructors, getters and setters
}
my controller :
#RestController
public class ScheduleController {
#Autowired
ScheduleService scheduleService;
#PostMapping(value="/schedule/create")
public #ResponseBody String createSchedule( #RequestBody Schedule schedule) {
System.out.println(schedule.toString());
return scheduleService.addSchedule(schedule);
}
//other crud operation
}
First of all, replace Date with LocalDate, which is part of the new Java Time API. with this you can configure Jackson to handle serialization and deserialization of such a complex type easily. Add the following dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-datatype-jsr310</artifactId>
<version>2.11.0</version>
</dependency>
And then configure Jackson accordingly:
#Configuration
public class JacksonConfiguration {
#Bean
public ObjectMapper objectMapper() {
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
JavaTimeModule javaTimeModule = new JavaTimeModule();
objectMapper.registerModule(javaTimeModule);
objectMapper.configure(SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS, false);
return objectMapper;
}
}
Then, please avoid using Entities in your Controller, either as a response or request type. Instead, use DTOs which are specific representations for your core model Entities.
public class ScheduleCreationDto {
private LocalDate date;
private String Start;
private String destination;
private Long driverId; // I am guessing the ID is a Long
private Long vehiculeId; // I am guessing the ID is a Long
private String provider;
//constructors, getters and setters
}
This should now be used as the request body:
#RestController
public class ScheduleController {
#Autowired
ScheduleService scheduleService;
#PostMapping(value="/schedule/create")
public #ResponseBody String createSchedule(#RequestBody ScheduleCreationDto scheduleCreationDto) {
return scheduleService.addSchedule(schedule);
}
//other crud operation
}
You also need to change ScheduleService so that it creates a Schedule based on ScheduleCreationDto. Most of the properties require a simple mapping, but others (driverId and vehiculeId) requires you to actually get those Entities from the Database using the provided ID. Something similar to the following should be done in your ScheduleService:
#Service
public class ScheduleService {
#Autowired
ScheduleRepository scheduleRepository;
#Autowired
DriverRepository driverRepository;
#Autowired
VehiculeRepository vehiculeRepository;
public String addSchedule(ScheduleCreationDto scheduleCreationDto) {
Optional<Driver> driver = driverRepository.findById(scheduleCreationDto.getDriverId());
Optional<Vehicule> vehicule = vehiculeRepository.findById(scheduleCreationDto.getVehiculeId());
if (driver.isPresent() && vehicule.isPresent()) {
Schedule schedule = new Schedule(scheduleCreationDto.getDate(), scheduleCreationDto.getStart(),
scheduleCreationDto.getDestination(), driver.get(), vehicule.get(), scheduleCreationDto.getProvider());
scheduleRepository.save(schedule);
}
return // whatever String you want to return, you should actually return the created Schedule, but that is a different topic
}
//other crud operation
}
400 error bad request with postman and Spring Boot API, in my case, happend for three reasons:
1.The first, is that the json format for the request is wrong, like sending:
{ key: value }
Or:
{ "key" : "value"
This is clarely not you case.
2.The second cause was sending the keys different from what the object was expecting.For example:
#PostMapping
public ResponseEntity<Object> save(#RequestResponse #Valid
ClassOfReciveObject reciveObject){
return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.CREATED).body("OK");
}
If the ClassOfObjectRecived has properties :
{
public String age;
public String name;
}
And you are sending in postman others keys, you will get a bad Request
{
"country":"Brazil",
"Continent":"America"
}
3.The third case i got this error was because of the private access modifier for the atributes of this class, change it for public, or find ways to resolve it
public class ClassOfObjectRecived {
public String param1;
public String param2;
}

Spring #ConfigurationProperties instance to JSON with jackson: No serializer found

I'm having the following code:
#Data
#Validated
#ConfigurationProperties
public class Keys {
private final Key key = new Key();
#Data
#Validated
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "key")
public class Key {
private final Client client = new Client();
private final IntentToken intentToken = new IntentToken();
private final Intent intent = new Intent();
private final OAuth oauth = new OAuth();
private final ResourceToken resourceToken = new ResourceToken();
#Valid #NotNull private String authorization;
#Valid #NotNull private String bearer;
...
}
}
That is an instance representing a properties file such as:
key.authorization=Authorization
key.bearer=Bearer
..
As I can have different sources for the properties (properties file, MongoDB, etc), I have a client that inherit from Keys as follow:
Properties files source
#Component
#Configuration
#Primary
#PropertySource("classpath:${product}-keys.${env}.properties")
//#JsonAutoDetect(fieldVisibility = Visibility.ANY)
public class CustomerKeysProperties extends Keys {
}
Mongo source
#Data
#EqualsAndHashCode(callSuper=true)
#Component
//#Primary
#Document(collection = "customerKeys")
public class CustomerKeysMongo extends Keys {
#Id
private String id;
}
I just select the source I want to use annotating the class with #Primary. In the example above, CustomerKeysProperties is the active source.
All this work fine.
The issue I have is when I try to convert an instance of CustomerKeysProperties into JSON, as in the code below:
#SpringBootApplication
public class ConverterUtil {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
SpringApplication.run(ConverterUtil.class, args);
}
#Component
class CustomerInitializer implements CommandLineRunner {
#Autowired
private Keys k;
private final ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
#Override
public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
mapper.setVisibility(PropertyAccessor.FIELD, Visibility.ANY);
//mapper.configure(SerializationFeature.FAIL_ON_EMPTY_BEANS, false);
String jsonInString = mapper.writeValueAsString(k);
System.out.println(jsonInString);
}
}
}
While k contains all the properties set, the conversion fails:
Caused by: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidDefinitionException: No serializer found for class org.springframework.context.annotation.ConfigurationClassEnhancer$BeanMethodInterceptor and no properties discovered to create BeanSerializer (to avoid exception, disable SerializationFeature.FAIL_ON_EMPTY_BEANS) (through reference chain: x.client.customer.properties.CustomerKeysProperties$$EnhancerBySpringCGLIB$$eda308bd["CGLIB$CALLBACK_0"]->org.springframework.aop.framework.CglibAopProxy$DynamicAdvisedInterceptor["advised"]->org.springframework.aop.framework.ProxyFactory["targetSource"]->org.springframework.aop.target.SingletonTargetSource["target"]->x.client.customer.properties.CustomerKeysProperties$$EnhancerBySpringCGLIB$$4fd6c568["CGLIB$CALLBACK_0"])

at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializerProvider.reportBadDefinition(SerializerProvider.java:1191)
And if I uncomment
mapper.configure(SerializationFeature.FAIL_ON_EMPTY_BEANS, false)
as suggested in the logs, I have an infinite loop happening in Jackson causing a stackoverflow:

..
Questions
At the end, I just want to provide an Util class than can convert a properties file in a JSON format that will be stored in MongoDB.
How can I solve this problem ?
Without passing through the object above, how can I transform a properties file into JSON ?
Can I save an arbitrary Java bean in MongoDB, with the conversion to JSON automagically done ?
The answer to any of the 3 questions above would be helpful.
Notes
To be noted that I use lombok. Not sure if this is the problem.
Another guess is that I'm trying to serialize a Spring managed bean and the proxy it involve cause jackson to not be able to do the serialization ? If so, what can be the turn-around ?
Thanks!
So found the problem:
jackson can't process managed bean.
The turn around was
try (InputStream input = getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("foo.properties")) {
JavaPropsMapper mapper = new JavaPropsMapper();
Keys keys = mapper.readValue(input, Keys.class);
ObjectWriter ow = new ObjectMapper().writer().withDefaultPrettyPrinter();
String res = ow.writeValueAsString(keys);
System.out.println(res);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
where Keys was the Spring managed bean I was injecting.
And:
JavaPropsMapper come from:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-dataformat-properties</artifactId>
</dependency>

#NestedConfigurationProperty and Converter Doesn't Work

I guess I have a rather complex configuration structure that I can't get to work. Here are the important pieces of the configuration classes:
#ConfigurationProperties
public abstract class AbstractConfigHolder<T extends AbstractComponentConfig> {
}
#Component
public class ExportConfigHolder extends AbstractConfigHolder<GenericExportConfig> {
#NestedConfigurationProperty
private Map<String, GenericExportConfig> exports;
// getters and setters for all fields
}
public class GenericExportConfig extends AbstractComponentConfig {
#NestedConfigurationProperty
private AbstractLocatedConfig target;
// getters and setters for all fields
}
public abstract class AbstractLocatedConfig extends RemoteConfig {
#NestedConfigurationProperty
private ProxyConfig proxy;
// getters and setters for all fields
}
public class ProxyConfig extends RemoteConfig {
private Type type;
// getters and setters for all fields
}
public class RemoteConfig {
private String host;
private int port;
private String user;
private String password;
// getters and setters for all fields
}
Here's the properties file:
exports.mmkb.name=MMKB
exports.mmkb.target=ftp
exports.mmkb.target.path=${user.home}/path/blah
# throws an exception:
exports.mmkb.target.proxy.host=super-host
The conversion stuff is what IMHO should cover everything and provide the proper beans to Spring:
#Configuration
public class ConversionSupport {
#ConfigurationPropertiesBinding
#Bean
public Converter<String, AbstractLocatedConfig> locatedConfigConverter(ApplicationContext applicationContext) {
return new Converter<String, AbstractLocatedConfig>() {
private ProxyConfigs proxyConfigs;
private ConnectionConfigs connectionConfigs;
#Override
public AbstractLocatedConfig convert(String targetType) {
System.out.println("Converting " + targetType);
initFields(applicationContext);
switch (targetType.toLowerCase()) {
case "ftp":
return new FtpTargetConfig(proxyConfigs, connectionConfigs);
// others...
}
}
// This is necessary to avoid conflicts in bean dependencies
private void initFields(ApplicationContext applicationContext) {
if (proxyConfigs == null) {
AbstractConfigHolder<?> configHolder = applicationContext.getBean(AbstractConfigHolder.class);
proxyConfigs = configHolder.getProxy();
connectionConfigs = configHolder.getConnection();
}
}
};
}
}
However, I get this instead:

I mean the error clearly expresses that so far it all worked, there is a proper object in place, but somehow it fails to further apply the properties. I know that it's neither an array nor a List nor a Map, because I want it to be POJO.
What can I do here to make this work?
This is Spring-boot 1.3.3 BTW.
Well, it seems as if I somehow hit a corner-case where Spring doesn't do much about it. The main problem is that Spring seems to collect the available bean structure including their nested field structure before it knows of (or at least makes use of) the Converters lying around in the system.
I let the class with #ConfigurationProperties implement ApplicationContextAware and the new method
#Override
public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext applicationContext) throws BeansException {
AnnotationConfigApplicationContext context = (AnnotationConfigApplicationContext) applicationContext;
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Converter<String, AbstractLocatedConfig> locatedConfigSupport = context.getBean("locatedConfigConverter", Converter.class);
:
}
then also looked for all properties in the context's environment that would trigger the conversion process, manually called the conversion and created the bean structure that way.
For some reason the following lifecycle-stuff of Spring caused not all properties to end up in the bean, which made me do this:
#Configuration
public class SampleConfiguration {
#Autowired
private Environment environment;
#Autowired
private ClassWithTheConfigurationPropertiesAbove theBeanWithTheConfigurationPropertiesAbove;
#PostConstruct
void postConstruct() throws Exception {
if (environment instanceof AbstractEnvironment) {
MutablePropertySources sources = ((AbstractEnvironment) environment).getPropertySources();
// This is a MUST since Spring calls the nested properties handler BEFORE
// calling the conversion service on that field. Therefore, our converter
// for AbstractLocatedConfigs is called too late the first time. A second
// call will fill in the fields in the new objects and set the other ones
// again, too.
// See org.springframework.core.env.PropertySourcesPropertyResolver.getProperty(String, Class<T>, boolean)
// Note: in case Spring reorders this, the logic here won't be needed.
setProperties(theBeanWithTheConfigurationPropertiesAbove, sources);
} else {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("The environment must be an " + AbstractEnvironment.class.getSimpleName());
}
}
void setProperties(Object target, MutablePropertySources propertySources) {
// org.springframework.boot.bind.PropertiesConfigurationFactory.doBindPropertiesToTarget()
// was the base for this. Go there for further logic if needed.
RelaxedDataBinder dataBinder = new RelaxedDataBinder(target);
dataBinder.bind(new MutablePropertyValues(getProperties(propertySources)));
}
public String getProperty(String propertyName) {
return environment.getProperty(propertyName);
}
private Map<String, String> getProperties(MutablePropertySources propertySources) {
Iterable<PropertySource<?>> iterable = () -> propertySources.iterator();
return StreamSupport.stream(iterable.spliterator(), false)
.map(propertySource -> {
Object source = propertySource.getSource();
if (source instanceof Map) {
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Map<String, String> sourceMap = (Map<String, String>) source;
return sourceMap.keySet();
} else if (propertySource instanceof SimpleCommandLinePropertySource) {
return Arrays.asList(((SimpleCommandLinePropertySource) propertySource).getPropertyNames());
} else if (propertySource instanceof RandomValuePropertySource) {
return null;
} else {
throw new NotImplementedException("unknown property source " + propertySource.getClass().getName() + " or its source " + source.getClass().getName());
}
})
.filter(Objects::nonNull)
.flatMap(Collection::stream)
.collect(Collectors.toMap(Function.identity(), this::getProperty));
}
}
It would be nice if Spring could do something about this to make it easier...

Wildfly: ExceptionMapper not triggered with RestEasy JSR-303 Bean Validation

I'm using Bean Validation with RestEasy in Wildfly 8.2.0.Final:
#Path("/user")
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public class UserEndpoint
{
//more code
#GET
#Path("/encrypt/{email}")
public Response fetchEncryptedId(#PathParam("email") #NotNull String email)
{
String encryptedUserId = userService.getEncryptedUserId(email);
return Response.ok().entity(new UserBo(encryptedUserId)).build();
}
}
This basically works. Now I'd like to get the response as JSON object but I can't get it working. All my "application" exceptions are handled by my Exception Mapper, this works:
#Provider
public class DefaultExceptionMapper implements ExceptionMapper<Exception>
{
private static final String MEDIA_TYPE = "application/json";
private LoggingService loggingService;
#EJB
public void setLoggingService(LoggingService loggingService)
{
this.loggingService = loggingService;
}
#Override
public Response toResponse(Exception exception)
{
ResponseObject responseObject = new ResponseObject();
responseObject.registerExceptionMessage(exception.getMessage());
if (exception instanceof ForbiddenException)
{
loggingService.log(LogLevel.ERROR, ((ForbiddenException)exception).getUserId(), ExceptionToStringMapper.map(exception));
return Response.status(Status.FORBIDDEN).type(MEDIA_TYPE).entity(responseObject).build();
}
//more handling
loggingService.log(LogLevel.ERROR, "", ExceptionToStringMapper.map(exception));
return Response.status(Status.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR).type(MEDIA_TYPE).entity(responseObject).build();
}
}
But bean validation somehow bypasses it. Then I thought about using Throwable instead of Exception but it didn't help either. I guess the ExceptionMapper is not triggered because there is some life cycle problem with JAX-RS and JSR303. But how can I syncronize them to handle bean validation exceptions?
Additional information: The exception passes the javax.ws.rs.container.ContainerResponseFilter so I could write some workaround by implementing the filter method in a subclass, but this is not clean solution. The target is to handle the exceptions in the Exception mapper.
It's not always the case that your ExceptionMapper<Exception> will catch all exception under the Exception hierarchy. If there is another more specific mapper, say one for RuntimeException, that mapper will be used for all exception of RuntimeException and its subtypes.
That being said (assuming you're using resteasy-validation-provider-11), there is already a ResteasyViolationExceptionMapper that handles ValidationException.
#Provider
public class ResteasyViolationExceptionMapper
implements ExceptionMapper<ValidationException>
This mapper is automatically registered. It returns results in the form of a ViolationReport. The client needs to set the Accept header to application/json in order to see a response similar to
{
"exception":null,
"fieldViolations":[],
"propertyViolations":[],
"classViolations":[],
"parameterViolations":[

You can see more at Violation reporting.
If you want to completely override this behavior, you can create a more specific mapper for ResteasyViolationException, which is the exception thrown by the RESTeasy validator
#Provider
public class MyValidationMapper
implements ExceptionMapper<ResteasyViolationException> {
#Override
public Response toResponse(ResteasyViolationException e) {
}
}

#ManagedBean issues getting relational data

I have this weird problem that throws not really useful errors. I'm trying to display data from Entity Bean in Primefaces table. I have two projects, one for front end, other one for backend. Thing is, the Entity Bean has #OneToMany and #ManyToOne relation, and they seem to cause the problems, because if I null them no errors happen, but I need that data so it's not a solution.
BACKEND:
Key parts of entity:
#Entity
#Table(name = "business_process_tasks")
public class BusinessProcessTasks implements java.io.Serializable {
....
#ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
#JoinColumn(name="process")
public Process getProcess() {
return process;
}
public void setProcess(Process process) {
this.process = process;
}
#OneToMany(mappedBy = "processTask")
public List<BusinessProcessTasksMeta> getMeta() {
return meta;
}
public void setMeta(List<BusinessProcessTasksMeta> meta) {
this.meta = meta;
}
}
Key parts of EJB:
#Override
public List<BusinessProcessTasks> getList(int processId) {
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
String q = "SELECT t from " + BusinessProcessTasks.class.getName() + " t where process="+processId;
Query query = em.createQuery(q);
List<BusinessProcessTasks> items = query.getResultList();
for(int i = 0;i<items.size();i++){
BusinessProcessTasks t = (BusinessProcessTasks) items.get(i);
//IF I SET THESE TO NULL NO ERRORS SHOW
t.setProcess(null);
t.setMeta(null);
}
em.close();
return items;
}
FRONTEND:
Key parts of #ManagedBean:
#ManagedBean(name = "processTasksTableBean")
#ViewScoped
public class ProcessTasksTableBean {
.....
#PostConstruct
void initialiseSession() {
System.out.println("Bean running");
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSession(true);
//GETTING ID FROM URL
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) FacesContext
.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
pageProcessId = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("id"));
processTasksBeanRemote = doLookup();
//ONLY PLACE IN PROJECT WHERE ERROR IS REFERENCED IN CONSOLE IS HERE
processTasksList = processTasksBeanRemote.getList(pageProcessId);
}
.....
}
Eclipse console - log is very long, if required I will post it all, now just key parts:

Issue resolved, I downloaded latest Hibernate core from http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hibernate/hibernate-core/4.3.4.Final and all seems fine. Quite wierd, since I add my Jboss runtime libs to each project through build path.
