The #ClassRule 'resources' must be static Kotlin - junit

I am getting this error:
org.junit.internal.runners.rules.ValidationError: The #ClassRule 'resources' must be static.
When setting up my Dropwizard Kotlin application.

The variable that it is complaining about must be annotated with #JvmField and inside of a companion object. So, for example:
companion object {
#ClassRule
#JvmField
val resources = ...
}

Corda query throws "com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: object is not an instance of declaring class"

I'm developing cordapp using the example-cordapp project as a reference. I've been able to commit a transaction to the ledger and even run querias on the node to see if it's really there. However, when I try to run query from my Spring Boot application, I get this error.
Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcherServlet] in context with path [] threw exception [Request

Here's the request code

fun getMyIOUs(): ResponseEntity<List<StateAndRef<MyState>>> {
val myStates = proxy.vaultQueryBy<MyState>().states
return ResponseEntity.ok(myStates)
}
And here's the state code
#BelongsToContract(com.sentinel.contract.SharingInformationContract::class)
class SharingInformationState(
val party: Party,
val dataOwnerId: Long,
val dataBuyerId: Long,
override val linearId: UniqueIdentifier = UniqueIdentifier()) : LinearState, QueryableState {

override fun generateMappedObject(schema: MappedSchema): PersistentState {
return when (schema) {

dataOwnerId,
dataBuyerId,
linearId.id
)
else -> throw IllegalArgumentException("Unrecognised schema $schema")
}
}
override fun supportedSchemas(): Iterable<MappedSchema> = listOf(SharingInformationSchemaV1)
}
There's little information about this issue on the internet. Some suggest it is connected to the classpath, that something is duplicated there, but I don't know how to check. Also, this error isn't connected to the Party type. I've tried to add #JsonIgnore on a party, but then it throws on the other field. Persistence of this field in mapping schema also doesn't matter. I've tried persisting and not persisting, it changes nothing. Thanks in advance!
I believe this is because you are missing Corda Jackson support library which is required to convert Corda objects to json.
Add this to your dependencies in the build.gradle
compile "net.corda:corda-jackson:$corda_release_version"
https://github.com/corda/samples-java/blob/master/Advanced/auction-cordapp/client/build.gradle#L19
Also, make sure you have a MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter bean configured.
#Bean
public MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter mappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter(){
ObjectMapper mapper = JacksonSupport.createDefaultMapper(partyAProxy());
MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter converter = new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter();
converter.setObjectMapper(mapper);
return converter;
}
https://github.com/corda/samples-java/blob/master/Advanced/auction-cordapp/client/src/main/java/net/corda/samples/client/AppConfig.java#L48
The Exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: object is not an instance of declaring class is something that happens if a method is called by reflection on an object which is of the wrong type.
In conjunction with jackson that may happen because a generic is lying to you. Here is an example:
class A (val x: String)
class B (val y: String)
class C (val z: List<A>)
ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString(C(listOf(B("x")) as List<A>))
This causes a compile warning, but it compiles and initially runs because of type erasure. However we forcefully injected a List<B> in a place where actually a List<A> is expected. While type erasure does remove quite a bit of information, it does not do so completely. Reflection can still be used to determine that C.z is actually of type List<A>. Jackson uses this information and tries to serialize an object of type A but instead finds an object of type B in the list and fails with the given message.
Check that your data structure actually contains the types that you expect!

Kotlin Deserialize variables from abstract class

I have an object that extends an abstract class that inherits an interface. When using kotlin serialization, it will not serialize the properties on the abstract class.
For example:
#Serializable
class User(private val uid: String): BaseClass()
abstract class BaseClass(): CacheClass {
override val cacheDate: Long = 0L
}
interface CacheClass {
val cacheDate: Long
}
The variable cacheDate will never get serialized. How can I ensure that the variables defined on the abstract class will in fact be serialized?
I am not looking for other libraries to use. I am using Kotlin Serialization found here
From https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/master/docs/examples.md:
Supported properties:
Class constructor val and var properties. It is required for constructor to have only properties (no parameters).
In case of usage of internal serialization (#Serializable annotation on class), both body vals and vars are supported with any visibility levels.
But cacheDate is neither; it's a body property of the superclass without #Serializable. You can try annotating the superclass, but I would expect it not to work, based on the description in the proposal; if it doesn't, write a custom serializer.

Error thrown: "No serializer found for class java.lang.Long..." from controller while serializing JPA entity containing lazy "many-to-one" property

I am on Spring Boot 2.0.6, where an entity pet do have a Lazy many-to-one relationship to another entity owner
Pet entity
#Entity
#Table(name = "pets")
public class Pet extends AbstractPersistable<Long> {
#NonNull
private String name;
private String birthday;
#JsonIdentityInfo(generator=ObjectIdGenerators.PropertyGenerator.class, property="id")
#JsonIdentityReference(alwaysAsId=true)
#JsonProperty("ownerId")
#ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
private Owner owner;
But while submitting a request like /pets through a client(eg: PostMan), the controller.get() method run into an exception as is given below:-
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidDefinitionException: No serializer found for class java.lang.Long and no properties discovered to create BeanSerializer (to avoid exception, disable SerializationFeature.FAIL_ON_EMPTY_BEANS) (through reference chain: java.util.ArrayList[0]->com.petowner.entity.Pet["ownerId"])
at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidDefinitionException.from(InvalidDefinitionException.java:77) ~[jackson-databind-2.9.7.jar:2.9.7]
at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializerProvider.reportBadDefinition(SerializerProvider.java:1191) ~[jackson-databind-2.9.7.jar:2.9.7]
Controller.get implementation
#GetMapping("/pets")
public #ResponseBody List<Pet> get() {
List<Pet> pets = petRepository.findAll();
return pets;
}
My observations
Tried to invoke explicitly the getters within owner through pet to force the lazy-loading from the javaassist proxy object of owner within the pet. But did not work.
#GetMapping("/pets")
public #ResponseBody List<Pet> get() {
List<Pet> pets = petRepository.findAll();
pets.forEach( pet -> pet.getOwner().getId());
return pets;
}
Tried as suggested by this stackoverflow answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/51129212/5107365 to have controller call to delegate to a service bean within the transaction scope to force lazy-loading. But that did not work too.
#Service
#Transactional(readOnly = true)
public class PetServiceImpl implements PetService {
#Autowired
private PetRepository petRepository;
#Override
public List<Pet> loadPets() {
List<Pet> pets = petRepository.findAll();
pets.forEach(pet -> pet.getOwner().getId());
return pets;
}
}
It works when Service/Controller returning a DTO created out from the entity. Obviously, the reason is JSON serializer get to work with a POJO instead of an ORM entity without any mock objects in it.
Changing the entity fetch mode to FetchType.EAGER would solve the problem, but I did not want to change it.
I am curious to know why it is thrown the exception in case of (1) and (2). Those should have forced the explicit loading of lazy objects.
Probably the answer might be connected to the life and scope of that javassist objects got created to maintain the lazy objects. Yet, wondering how would Jackson serializer not find a serializer for a java wrapper type like java.lang.Long. Please do rememeber here that the exception thrown did indicate that Jackson serializer got access to owner.getId as it recognised the type of the property ownerId as java.lang.Long.
Any clues would be highly appreciated.
Edit
The edited part from the accepted answer explains the causes. Suggestion to use a custom serializer is very useful one in case if I don't need to go in DTO's path.
I did a bit of scanning through the Jackson sources to dig down to the root causes. Thought to share that too.
Jackson caches most of the serialization metadata on first use. Logic related to the use case in discussion starts at this method com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.std.CollectionSerializer.serializeContents(Collection<?> value, JsonGenerator g, SerializerProvider provider). And, the respective code snippet is:-
The statement serializer = _findAndAddDynamic(serializers, cc, provider) at Line #140 trigger the flow to assign serializers for pet-level properties while skipping ownerId to be later processed through serializer.serializeWithType at line #147.
Assigning of serializers is done at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.std.BeanSerializerBase.resolve(SerializerProvider provider) method. The respective snippet is shown below:-
Serializers are assigned at line #340 only for those properties which are confirmed as final through the check at line #333.
When owner comes here, its proxied properties are found to be of type com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.SimpleType. Had this associated entity been loaded eagerly, the proxied properties obviously won't be there. Instead, original properties would be found with the values that are typed with final classes like Long, String, etc. (just like the pet properties).
Wondering why can't Jackson address this from their end by using the getter's type instead of using that of the proxied property. Anyway, that could be a different topic to discuss :-)
This has to do with the way that Hibernate (internally what spring boot uses for JPA by default) hydrates objects. A lazy object is not loaded until some parameter of the object is requested. Hibernate returns a proxy which delegates to the dto after firing queries to hydrate the objects.
In your scenario, loading OwnerId does not help because it is the key via which you are referencing the owner object i.e. the OwnerId is already present in the Pet object, so the hydration will not take place.
In both 1 and 2, you have not actually loaded the owner object, so when Jackson tries to serialize it at the controller level it fails. In 3 and 4, the owner object has been loaded explicitly, which is why Jackson does not run into any issues.
If you want 2 to work then load some parameter of owner, other than id, and hibernate will hydrate the object, and then jackson will be able to serialize it.
Edited Answer
The problem here is with the default Jackson serializer. This inspects the class returned and fetches the value of each attribute via reflection. In the case of hibernate entities, the object returned is a delegator proxy class in which all parameters are null, but all getters are redirected to the contained instance. When the object is inspected, the values of each attribute are still null, which is defaulted to an error as explained here
So basically, you need to tell jackson how to serialize this object. You can do so by creating a serializer class
public class OwnerSerializer extends StdSerializer<Owner> {
public OwnerSerializer() {
this(null);
}
public OwnerSerializer(Class<Owner> t) {
super(t);
}
#Override
public void serialize(Owner value, JsonGenerator jgen, SerializerProvider provider)
throws IOException, JsonProcessingException {
jgen.writeStartObject();
jgen.writeNumberField("id", value.getId());
jgen.writeStringField("firstName", value.getFirstName());
jgen.writeStringField("lastName", value.getLastName());
jgen.writeEndObject();
}
}
And setting it as the default serializer for the object
#JsonSerialize(using = OwnerSerializer.class)
public class Owner extends AbstractPersistable<Long> {
Alternatively, you can create a new Object of type Owner from the proxy class, manually populate it and set it in the response.
It is a little roundabout, but as a general practice you should not expose your DTO's externally anyway. The controller/domain should be decoupled from the storage layer.

Jackson: how to treat {type:xx}?

I have the following json:
{"resourceWithType":
{"parentId":0,
"pluginId":0,
"pluginName":"Platforms",
"resourceId":10001,
"resourceName":"snert",
"typeId":10057,
"typeName":"Mac OS X"
}
}
And a class
public class ResourceWithType {
String resourceName;
int resourceId;
String typeName;
with all the getters and setters and so on.
The above JSON was actually created via RESTeasy and the Jettison provider where the class was marked with #XmlRootElement.
When I try to deserialize the above JSON via
ObjectMapper mapper=new ObjectMapper();
ResourceWithType rwt = mapper.readValue(json,ResourceWithType.class);
It fails with
06-13 11:07:55.360: WARN/System.err(26040):
org.codehaus.jackson.map.exc.UnrecognizedPropertyException:
Unrecognized field "resourceWithType"
(Class org.rhq.core.domain.rest.ResourceWithType),
not marked as ignorable
Which is sort of understandable.
How can I tell Jackson, that the embedded 'resourceWithType' is actually the class to deserialize into?
Other option would be to tell jettison not to include that type - how?
Tree model is a possibility; or just a simple wrapper like:
class {
public ResourceWithType resourceWithType;
}
to let you unwrap it. But often framework itself should handle unwrapping, since they are ones adding extra wrapping (Jackson does not add 'resourceWithType' in there by default).
Perhaps use the TreeModel API to unwrap the first (tag name) level, then deserialize the inner contents as usual (using the binding API)?

JAXB Unmarshal Exception

I generated some classes off of an xsd that I made from a web service response that I am calling.
I'm getting an Exception when I run a JUnit test class that reads in an InputStream from the web service call.
I'm stuck as to what the exception means, so I'm looking for some ideas on things to check:
javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: Unexpected element {http://bar.foo.com/bbs}:rule
I have a class in my generated classes at:
com.foo.bar.bbs.Rule
Does the Exception mean I do not have the Rule class in the proper package?
The following are some things to check:
#XmlRootElement
Check that the Rule class is annotated with #XmlRootElement:
#XmlRootElement
public class Rule {
}
#XmlElementDecl
Or that there is a corresponding #XmlElementDecl in the ObjectFactory class:
#XmlElementDecl(namespace = "http://bar.foo.com/bbs", name = "root")
public JAXBElement<Root> createCustomer(Root value) {
return new JAXBElement<BigInteger>(_ROOT_QNAME, Root.class, null, value);
}
#XmlSchema
You will also need to ensure that the namespace information is specified correctly. A package-info class was probably generated something like the following for you. Ensure the correct namespace is specified.
#XmlSchema(
namespace = "http://bar.foo.com/bbs",
elementFormDefault = XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED)
package com.foo.bar.bbs;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema;
Alternatively you could include the namespace in the #XmlRootElement annotation:
#XmlRootElement(namespace="http://bar.foo.com/bbs")
public class Rule {
}
For more information see:
http://bdoughan.blogspot.com/2010/08/jaxb-namespaces.html
Make sure you are unmarshalling the correct type of object.
