jerse Client using JacksonJsonProvider date deserialization - json

I have a problem with date deserialization on client side. I have to build a simple desktop java aplication that consumes JSON. My code:
ClientConfig config = new DefaultClientConfig();
config.getClasses().add(JacksonJsonProvider.class);
Client client = Client.create(config);
I've tried to use this solution but it doesn't work for me:
How to deserialize JS date using Jackson?
I need a date in this format: "dd.MM.yyyy.", but I'm always getting this error no matter what:
Can not construct instance of java.util.Date from String value '12.10.1971.': not a valid representation (error: Can not parse date "12.10.1971.": not compatible with any of standard forms ("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ", "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'", "EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz", "yyyy-MM-dd"))
Thank you for your help.

I'm still thinking your linked answer should work, but here is another way which could help you.
Create a Java object for the model you are retrieving.
Let's say it is an item with 2 fields:
public class Item {
private String name;
private String lastModified;
public Item() {}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public Item setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
return this;
}
public String getLastModified() {
return lastModified;
}
public Modifiable setLastModified(String lastModified) {
this.lastModified = lastModified;
return this;
}
}
Jackson wouldn't try to parse it, because it would have a look into your code and knows it is a string not a date object.
You could than parse it yourself.
If this is to ugly you could hold the lastModified as a date internally, because Jackson is looking for "factory" methods which are taking as a parameter a string, if no date one could be found.

Mapping BIGDECIMAL from Mongo, lack CONSTRUCTOR

I have a problem when I want get a object from mongo with a BigDecimal field.
I have the next structure in mongo:
{
"_id":ObjectId("546b07420c74bf96c7c3cd5f"),
"accountId":"1",
"modelVersion":"seasonal_optimized",
"yearMonth":"20143",
"income":{
"unscaled":{
"$numberLong":"68500"
},
"scale":2
},
"expense":{
"unscaled":{
"$numberLong":"125900"
},
"scale":2
}
}
And the entity is :
#Data
#NoArgsConstructor
#AllArgsConstructor
#Document(collection = "forecasts")
public class Forecast {
private String accountId;
private LocalDate monthYear;
private String modelVersion;
private BigDecimal income;
private BigDecimal expense;
}
and I'm trying retrieving a object from mongo, but I got the next error:
org.springframework.data.mapping.model.MappingInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate java.math.BigDecimal using constructor NO_CONSTRUCTOR with arguments.
Anybody can help me?
Thank you!!!!
It's an old question but I had the same issue using Spring data mongo and the aggregation framework.
Specifically when I want a BigDecimal as return type.
A possible workaround is to wrap your BigDecimal in a class and provide it as your return OutPutType, ie:
#Data
public class AverageTemperature {
private BigDecimal averageTemperature;
}
#Override
public AverageTemperature averageTemperatureByDeviceIdAndDateRange(String deviceId, Date from, Date to) {
final Aggregation aggregation = newAggregation(
match(
Criteria.where("deviceId")
.is(deviceId)
.andOperator(
Criteria.where("time").gte(from),
Criteria.where("time").lte(to)
)
),
group("deviceId")
.avg("temperature").as("averageTemperature"),
project("averageTemperature")
);
AggregationResults<AverageTemperature> result = mongoTemplate.aggregate(aggregation, mongoTemplate.getCollectionName(YourDocumentClass.class), AverageTemperature.class);
List<AverageTemperature> mappedResults = result.getMappedResults();
return (mappedResults != null ? mappedResults.get(0) : null);
}
In the example above the aggregation calculates the average temperature as BigDecimal.
Keep in mind that the default BigDecimal converter map it to a string in mongodb when saving. mapping-conversion
Retrieving the document as is should not be a problem anymore with Spring data mongo, versions I used:
org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb:jar:2.0.1.RELEASE
spring-data-mongodb:jar:2.0.6.RELEASE
org.mongodb:mongodb-driver:jar:3.6.3

Emit odata.type field with DataContractJsonSerializer?

Is there a way to make DataContractJsonSerializer emit the "odata.type" field required when posting an OData entity into a collection that supports multiple entity types (hierarchy per table)?
If I construct DataContractJsonSerializer with a settings object with EmitTypeInformation set to Always, it emits a "__type" field in the output, but that's not the field name needed for OData and the format of the value is wrong as well.
Is there any way to hook into the DataContractJsonSerializer pipeline to inject the desired "odata.type" field into the serialization output?
It would be such a hack to have to parse the serialization output in order to inject the field. How does WCF Data Services do it? Not using DataContractJsonSerializer is my guess.
Have you considered using Json.Net? Json.Net is much more extensible and the scenario that you have can be done using a custom resolver. sample code
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(
JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new Customer { Name = "Raghu" }, new JsonSerializerSettings
{
ContractResolver = new CustomContractResolver()
}));
}
}
public class CustomContractResolver : DefaultContractResolver
{
protected override JsonObjectContract CreateObjectContract(Type objectType)
{
JsonObjectContract objectContract = base.CreateObjectContract(objectType);
objectContract.Properties.Add(new JsonProperty
{
PropertyName = "odata.type",
PropertyType = typeof(string),
ValueProvider = new StaticValueProvider(objectType.FullName),
Readable = true
});
return objectContract;
}
private class StaticValueProvider : IValueProvider
{
private readonly object _value;
public StaticValueProvider(object value)
{
_value = value;
}
public object GetValue(object target)
{
return _value;
}
public void SetValue(object target, object value)
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}
}
public class Customer
{
public string Name { get; set; }
}
I can't answer your first two questions, but for the third question, I found on the OData Team blog a link to the OData WCF Data Services V4 library open source code. Downloading that code, you will see that they perform all serialization and deserialization manually. They have 68 files in their two Json folders! And looking through the code they have comments such as:
// This is a work around, needTypeOnWire always = true for client side:
// ClientEdmModel's reflection can't know a property is open type even if it is, so here
// make client side always write 'odata.type' for enum.
So that to me kind of implies there is no easy, clean, simple, elegant way to do it.
I tried using a JavaScriptConverter, a dynamic type, and other stuff, but most of them ended up resorting to using Reflection which just made for a much more complicated solution versus just using a string manipulation approach.

JAX-RS - JSON List to Object with JaxB

I am using JAX-RS (CXF) with JaxB and Jackson to provide a REST-API.
Unfortunately, none of the found results helps me with following (simple) problem:
I implemented following method:
#POST
#Path(ApiStatics.ARMY_CREATE_ARMY)
public com.empires.web.dto.Army createArmy(#FormParam("locationid") long locationId, #FormParam("name") String name, #FormParam("troops") ArmyTroops troops) {
and here are is my model class:
#XmlRootElement
#XmlSeeAlso(ArmyTroop.class)
public class ArmyTroops {
public ArmyTroops() {
}
public ArmyTroops(List<ArmyTroop> troops) {
this.troops = troops;
}
#XmlElement(name = "troops")
private List<ArmyTroop> troops = new ArrayList<ArmyTroop>();
public List<ArmyTroop> getTroops() {
return troops;
}
public void setTroops(List<ArmyTroop> troops) {
this.troops = troops;
}
}
ArmyTroop
#XmlRootElement(name = "troops")
public class ArmyTroop {
#XmlElement
private long troopId;
#XmlElement
private String amount;
public long getTroopId() {
return troopId;
}
public void setTroopId(long troopId) {
this.troopId = troopId;
}
public String getAmount() {
return amount;
}
public void setAmount(String amount) {
this.amount = amount;
}
}
My json that i send looks like this:
locationid 1
name asdasd
troops {"troops":[{"troopId":4,"amount":"5"},{"troopId":6,"amount":"5"}]}
Unfortunately, the object gets not transformed. Instead I receive this error:
InjectionUtils #reportServerError - Parameter Class com.empires.web.dto.in.ArmyTroops has no constructor with single String parameter, static valueOf(String) or fromString(String) methods
If I provide the constructor with a single string parameter, I get passed the whole json string for "troops" as mentioned above.
Any ideas why JaxB does not work at this point?
You are passing all your parameters with #Form annotation.
But the Form part of the http message must be an xml data structure.
Your 3 parameters don't have a main xml datastructure so it wont work.
In short, form params are send as body.
Cxf use the MultivaluedMap to send params (cxf have an xml model for this structure).
As you can see it is not fit for parameters that can't be trivally serialized.
Here me solution would be to drop the #FormParam to avoid the problem:
1) Use #PathParam #CookieParam to send yours first 2 parameters, and the 'no tag' (body) only for the army compositions.
2) Define an uber object that take all parameters and can be serialized as xml datastructure and use the 'no tag' (body) sending.
3) Use soap, with cxf it is really easy to gets both Rest and Soap.

How to serialize Json string in apex

I need to parse this json string to values.
"start": { "dateTime": "2013-02-02T15:00:00+05:30" }, "end": { "dateTime": "2013-02-02T16:00:00+05:30" },
The problem is I am using JSONParser in apex (salesforce).
And my class is:
public class wrapGoogleData{
public string summary{get;set;}
public string id{get;set;}
public string status;
public creator creator;
public start start;
public wrapGoogleData(string entnm,string ezid,string sta, creator c,start s){
summary= entnm;
id= ezid;
status = sta;
creator = c;
start = s;
}
}
public class creator{
public string email;
public string displayName;
public string self;
}
public class start{
public string datetimew;
}
I am able to get all the datat from this except the datetime in the above string. As datetime is a reserved keyword in apex so i am not able to give the variable name as datetime in my class.
Any suggestion !!
Json Parser code:
JSONParser parser = JSON.createParser(jsonData );
while (parser.nextToken() != null) {
// Start at the array of invoices.
if (parser.getCurrentToken() == JSONToken.START_ARRAY) {
while (parser.nextToken() != null) {
// Advance to the start object marker to
// find next invoice statement object.
if (parser.getCurrentToken() == JSONToken.START_OBJECT) {
// Read entire invoice object, including its array of line items.
wrapGoogleData inv = (wrapGoogleData)parser.readValueAs(wrapGoogleData.class);
String s = JSON.serialize(inv);
system.debug('Serialized invoice: ' + s);
// Skip the child start array and start object markers.
//parser.skipChildren();
lstwrap.put(inv.id,inv);
}
}
}
}
Similar to Kumar's answer but without using an external app.
Changing your start class was the right idea
public class start{
public string datetimew;
}
Now, just parse the JSON before you run it through the deserializer.
string newjsondata = jsonData.replace('"dateTime"','"datetimew"');
JSONParser parser = JSON.createParser(newjsondata);
while (parser.nextToken() != null) {
...
}
Use string.replace() function and replace keys named dateTime with something like dateTime__x and then you can parse using Json.deserialize if you have converted your json to apex using json to apex convertor app on heruko platform
http://json2apex.herokuapp.com/
The above link points to an app that will convert Json into apex class and then you can use Json.serialize to parse json into apex class structure.

Parsing JSON DateTime from Newtonsoft's JSON Serializer

I've serialized an object using Newtonsoft's JSON serializer, and the DateTime has come through as:
/Date(1237588418563+0000)/
When I $.evalJSON() on that, it is an object but I can't find any normal Date methods like toUTCString on it.
Any ideas what I can do with this?
Use one of the JsonConverters that come with Json.NET for working with dates to get a better format. JavaScriptDateTimeConverter will automatically give you a JavaScript date.
public class LogEntry
{
public string Details { get; set; }
public DateTime LogDate { get; set; }
}
[Test]
public void WriteJsonDates()
{
LogEntry entry = new LogEntry
{
LogDate = new DateTime(2009, 2, 15, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc),
Details = "Application started."
};
string defaultJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(entry);
// {"Details":"Application started.","LogDate":"\/Date(1234656000000)\/"}
string javascriptJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(entry, new JavaScriptDateTimeConverter());
// {"Details":"Application started.","LogDate":new Date(1234656000000)}
string isoJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(entry, new IsoDateTimeConverter());
// {"Details":"Application started.","LogDate":"2009-02-15T00:00:00Z"}
}
Documentation: Serializing Dates in JSON with Json.NET
I came up with a different approach which might be useful to some. Basically I create my own CustomDateConverter that I call when I need it. The converter takes 2 parameters, a date format e.g. yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss and a TimeZoneInfo, which allows me to convert the date from UTC to the user's time zone:
public class JSONCustomDateConverter : DateTimeConverterBase
{
private TimeZoneInfo _timeZoneInfo;
private string _dateFormat;
public JSONCustomDateConverter(string dateFormat, TimeZoneInfo timeZoneInfo)
{
_dateFormat = dateFormat;
_timeZoneInfo = timeZoneInfo;
}
public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType)
{
return objectType == typeof(DateTime);
}
public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer, object value, JsonSerializer serializer)
{
writer.WriteValue(TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(Convert.ToDateTime(value), _timeZoneInfo).ToString(_dateFormat));
writer.Flush();
}
You can use it like this:
var jsonString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObject, Formatting.None, new JsonSerializerSettings { NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore, Converters = new List<JsonConverter>() { new JSONCustomDateConverter("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", loggedUser.Timezone) } });
Obviously you could remove anything related to time zone if you only want custom date formatting. Let me know it that helped!
As of Newtonsoft Json.Net version 4.5r5 you use the JsonPropertyAttribute Class class and set its ItemConverterType Property property.
Usage:
// class to be serialized
public class MyClass
{
[JsonProperty(ItemConverterType = typeof(JavaScriptDateTimeConverter))]
public DateTime? DateTime1;
public DateTime? DateTime2;
}
As I have observed this will set the DateTimeConverter for all properties in this class not just the one before which is declared.
Ran into the same problem, and found a solution based on the link from Adam:
new Date(yourDate.substr(yourDate.indexOf("(") + 1, 13) - 0));
It looks like a Unix timestamp, which javascript is easily able to convert into a date object. The - 0 is simply to make javascript treat the substr output as an integer... I guess you could Number() it as well, if you don't like the looks of - 0
The JSON object contained something like this:
var data = {"CreatedDate":"/Date(1327572000000-1000)/"});
///
var oddDateTimeZone = data.CreatedDate;
var utcDateTime = oddDateTimeZone.substr(oddDateTimeZone.indexOf("(")+1, 13);
var utcZone = oddDateTimeZone.substr(oddDateTimeZone.indexOf("-")+1, 4);
var utcDateTimeZone = new Date(Number(utcDateTime)-(Number(utcZone)));
but, still it would be better to fix the JSON object so the date function fired without using something like eval() or window[]. Maybe in jQuery. Not sure.
Don't forget that the offset could be + and not just - for the offset!
Sorry I simplify a bit #James Newton-King
string date = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(DateTime.Now);
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.registerModule(new JavaTimeModule());
mapper.configure(SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS, false);
This works for me
