please guide me how to do this type of implementation in spring boot project ,
given image data in json format response .
#JsonIgnore annotation marks a property to be ignored during the serialization to JSON. If you don't want to read some field from a JSON object, then in the model, you just need to use the #JsonIgnore annotation.

You are using the Pageable object provided by Spring, and you need to display this object through swagger. I am using Custom Annotation.
I want to change the size value of #ApiImplicitParam according to the ApiPageable Annotation variable.
Please refer to the picture below.
I am using the below annotation to show multipart file attribute on swagger-ui, which is working fine.
But issue starts where i need to show the required(*) symbol for file attribute on swagger-ui.
Here is how I am using #RequestPart annotation.
#RequestPart(value = "file", required=true) final Multipart file
But required property is not being applied, please suggest, how to add required symbol on any attribute using #RequestPart annotation.
I am new in Spring MVC. My question is, why do we need jackson databind? Because We can receive the Request Params by #ModelAttribute and requests through http PUT or POST by #RequestBody. I can't find a reason why we need jackson databind to convert json/xml to POJO or vice versa.
Thanks.
Why do we need jackson databind?
Because representing structured data is much easier using XML (or JSON) than using simple name-value pairs.
Because it is more convenient to send and receive JSON from the client side when you are doing AJAX.
Because once you have to deal with sending and receiving JSON or XML in the server side Java app, it is more convenient to deal with structured data as POJOs.
None of the above points mean you have to use a binding. There are other ways of dealing with each of the above. But many Java developers think that data bindings the better way to go: more efficient in terms of developer time, and more reliable. Especially if you are implementing services with a complex APIs. That's why they are popular.
And as other answers/comments point out, if you are using #RequestBody, then that is using a binding library under the hood to give you the POJOs. In the case of Spring, it is Jackson that is being used.
By default, when an endpoint expects a JSON document as input and a given controller method argument is annotated with #RequestBody, Spring will use Jackson databind features to map the incoming JSON document to a Java object. You don't need to use the Jackson's ObjectMapper directly, as Spring does it for you.
For example purposes, consider the following HTTP request to create a comment:
POST /comments HTTP/1.1
Host: example.org
Content-Type: application/json
{
"content": "Lorem ipsum"
}
And the following class which represents a comment:
#Data
public class Comment {
private String content;
}
A #RestController to handle such request would be like:
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/comments")
public class CommentController {
#PostMapping(consumes = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
public ResponseEntity<Foo> createComment(#RequestBody Comment comment) {
// By default, Spring will rely on Jackson databind to map the incoming
// JSON document to the comment argument annotated with #RequestBody
...
}
}
If you are interested in the Spring component that maps the incoming JSON document to a Java object, have a look at the MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter class:
Implementation of HttpMessageConverter that can read and write JSON using Jackson 2.x's ObjectMapper.
This converter can be used to bind to typed beans, or untyped HashMap instances.
By default, this converter supports application/json and application/*+json with UTF-8 character set. [...]
If you are creating a HTTP API and exposing resources that can be manipulated with JSON representations, it's unlikely you'll use #ModelAtribute. Such annotation is particularly useful when you are dealing with web views.
When you get some request in some data types like json/xml, the Spring MVC platform will try to deserialize this request attributes in some model object of your project.
But the platform itself don't provide a des-serialize implementation out of the box. So it will try to use some des-serializer provider in the classpath like jackson, jersey, gson, etc.
As you said - is possible to use #ModelAttribute - but this annotation is a better option to a request from a form view in the front-end. In cases rest json/xml requests, the #ModelAttribute won't be able to convert correctly the received data to a business class of your program.
By default spring data does not expose #Id field in response. But my return object contains #ID value.
I have looked up online most questions are how to expose the ID field.
I can create new POJO, iterate through return objects and set only the values I need. But I'm wondering why the default behavior is not working.
If the question is how to manage entity's property and make them appear or hide in the response, then you better have to use Jackson's framework annotations. #JsonProperty("responseName") will forse a property to appear in the response with a given name, #JsonIgnore will make a property do not appear in the response.
Hope it'll help.
My APP will send a String time parameter to background, like "13/03/2014", if I used TimeStamp in form bean, My ajax request will raise a 400 error, if I used String in form bean, the request will raise smoothly, but I should convert this parameter into TimeStamp, it is not good I think, So I want to know if there is a converter or configuration for such situation?
Yes, you should use WebDataBinder.registerCustomEditor method within #InitBinder method.
Here is an example.
