I have tried few nested json requestbody in postman but the inner class data is getting null.
Below is my json request body which I have tried.
{
"userName" : "sam",
"contactNumber" : "96014587555",
"DefectiveComponentInfo":
[ {
"componentType":"Integral",
"componentName":"Bummper",
"quantity":5,
"description": "Repair product"
}]
}
Thanks in advance!!!

Answer 1

You are almost there. few things to be corrected
{
"userName" : "sam",
"contactNumber" : "96014587555",
"defectiveComponentInfo": {
"componentType":"Integral",
"componentName":"Bummper",
"quantity":5,
"description": "Repair product"
}
}
What i have corrected here
As per #Ausgefuchster already mentioned about the incorrect usage of [] array syntax. Removed it.
Your property name is defectiveComponentInfo not capital D.

Answer 2

Try this:
"DefectiveComponentInfo":
{
"componentType": "Integral",
"componentName": "Bummper",
"quantity": 5,
"description": "Repair product"
}
Because you're using [] but these indicate a list.
