De-serialization error spring boot reactive - spring

I have a simple controller
#RestController
#RequestMapping("path")
public class MyController {
#PostMapping(consumes = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE, produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
public Flux<SomeObject> run(#RequestBody Flux<RequestObject> request){
//do something and return flux
}
...
}
On calling this url I'm getting the exception
"Type definition error: [simple type, class reactor.core.publisher.Flux]; nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidDefinitionException: Can not construct instance of reactor.core.publisher.Flux (no Creators, like default construct, exist): abstract types either need to be mapped to concrete types, have custom deserializer, or contain additional type information\n at [Source: (PushbackInputStream); line: 1, column: 1]
I understand this error and usually, I would just add an
annotation if needed
#JsonDeserialize(as = SomeConcreteClass.class)
But in this case, to which Flux concrete example should I bind? Also, Doesn't Spring boot has a default auto-deserializers for Reactor Types (Mono, Flux)?
My pom (relevant stuff):
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-webflux</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-data-commons</artifactId>
</dependency>

You're actually using Spring MVC right now.
Remove the spring-boot-starter-web and make sure no other dependency brings it transitively.

Spring RequestParam validation in Kotlin is not working

I am trying to validate #RequestParam in Kotlin, however it does not work. Currently I am using Kotlin 1.4.20, Spring boot 2.3.5, and java 1.8.
Here is my controller:
#Validated
#RestController
#RequestMapping("api/v1/")
class myController{
#GetMapping("/age", produces = [MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE])
fun findArticlesByAge(#RequestParam #Valid #Min(6) age: Int): ResponseEntity<Article> =
ResponseEntity
.ok()
.body(Article())
}
Hibernate validator is already in the effective pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate.validator</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
<version>6.1.6.Final</version>
</dependency>
Request:
http://localhost:8080/api/v1/age?age=2
Response:
200
That is the simple validation which is not working, however I want to do more complex validations through custom annotations and ConstraintValidator. If I make it work with the simple case #Min(6) probably it will start working also with the custom annotation.
So there was a dependency missing:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-validation</artifactId>
</dependency>
I added this and the validation started working. However, it throws 500 internal server error with the validation message, which can be fixed by a ControllerAdvice.

How to make both validation annotations in a ConfigurationProperties bean and a #FeignClient interface work together?

Let's say I have this application.yml (which will be environment-dependent e.g. via Spring profiles):
app.remote:
url: http://whatever.url.it.is:8080/
and matching Java-style configuration properties class:
#Configuration
#ConfigurationProperties("app.remote")
public class MyRemoteProperties {
#NotBlank
private String url;
// matching getter/setter...
}
I want some kind of client for my remote url:
#Service
#FeignClient(value = "remote", url = "${app.remote.url}")
public interface MyRemote {
#GetMapping("/what/ever/rest/api")
String stuff();
}
Unfortunately I can't get the validation work for MyRemoteProperties e.g. when the app.remote.url property is blank (empty) the application doesn't start (Spring fails at wiring the MyRemote bean) and I get this error:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Feign Client for
loadBalancing defined. Did you forget to include
spring-cloud-starter-netflix-ribbon?
(and I don't want load-balancing; I assume this is because the URL is empty at some point, then it expects some load-balancer config hence Ribbon here in the error message).
Or maybe I don't known how to plug it into the MyRemote interface's configuration, e.g. I also tried:
#FeignClient(value = "remote", configuration = MyRemoteProperties.class)
But same result.
How do I get this validation thing to work?

At some point where the interface is called:

public RandomServiceOrController {
#Autowired
private MyRemote myRemote;
public void processMyStuff() {
// ...
String myStuff = myRemote.stuff();
// ...
}
}
Don't forget the #Validated annotation on your Java properties class:
#Validated
#Configuration
#ConfigurationProperties("app.remote")
public class MyRemoteProperties {
#NotBlank
private String url;
// matching getter/setter...
}
Your application won't start because of the missing property, not because of a non-defined-loadbalancing-client-you-don't-need (thus making its error message more awkward).

Adding additional tips with your above GemFire/Spring JavaConfig configuration class above.
Given you are using Spring Data Kay (implied by your use of the Spring Boot 2.0.x parent POM, i.e. org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-dependencies; see here), then you could be using Spring Data GemFire's (relatively) new and convenient Annotation-based configuration model.
By doing so, your GemfireConfiguration class above would become...
#PeerCacheApplication
#EnableGemfireRepositories(basePackages = "com.gemfire.demo")
class GemfireConfiguration {
#Bean(name="employee")
LocalRegionFactoryBean<String, Employee> getEmployee(GemFireCache cache) {
LocalRegionFactoryBean<String, Employee> employeeRegion =
new LocalRegionFactoryBean<String, Employee>();
employeeRegion.setCache(cache);
employeeRegion.setClose(false);
employeeRegion.setDataPolicy(DataPolicy.PRELOADED);
return employeeRegion;
}
}
A few things to keep in mind:
#PeerCacheApplication is meta-annotated with #Configuration so you do not need the explicit Spring #Configuration annotation on the configuration class.
#PeerCacheApplication allows you to adjust the GemFire log-level (along with other logging configuration) using the logLevel annotation attribute. Similarly, you can set the log-level using the corresponding property, spring.data.gemfire.cache.log-level in a Spring Boot application.properties file (see here). There are many other attributes and corresponding properties (e.g. name) you can use to adjust and customize other configuration.
While String-based package names are supported on #EnableGemfireRepositories and similar annotations, we generally prefer and recommend users to use the type-safe variant basePacakgeClasses. You only need to refer to a single type from each top-level package where your application Repositories are kept.
The explicit #Autowired annotation is not needed on your bean definitions. You do not need to explicit inject the EmployeeRepository in the configuration class to have it initialized; just inject it into the #Service class where it will be used.
For convenience, the name ("employee") of the Region bean definition on your LOCAL "employee" Region, will also be used as the name of the Region, so employeeRegion.setName("employee") is unnecessary.
You should not combine LocalRegionFactoryBean.setPersistent(:boolean) with LocalRegionFactoryBean.setDataPolicy(:DataPolicy) since the DataPolicy is going to take precedence.
While #ComponentScan is perfectly acceptable and even convenient in development, I generally do not prefer nor recommend users to use component-scanning. It is usually always better to be explicit.
As stated in the comments, you chould remove <relativePath/> from your parent definition in your application Maven POM file.
Final note, as of this post, Spring Boot 2.0.8.RELEASE is the latest release.
As for your classpath issues, if you are using Maven correctly, then Maven should take care of pulling in the correct transitive dependencies.
You can refer to the many examples I have in this repo for further clarification.
Hope this helps!
As mentioned in comments, the error shows some dependencies (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: it/unimi/dsi/fastutil/ints/Int2ObjectOpenHashMap) are missing. Please add corresponding dependencies in your pom.xml

SpringBoot 2 + Junit5: null with #Value

I have an application with SpringBoot2 and Junit5, and now I'm trying to make a test. I have a this class called OrderService that looks like this:
#Component
public class OrderService {
#Value("#{'${food.requires.box}'.split(',')}")
private List<String> foodRequiresBox;
#Value("#{'${properties.prioritization}'.split(',')}")
private List<String> prioritizationProperties;
#Value("${further.distance}")
private Integer slotMeterRange;
#Value("${slot.meters.long}")
private Double slotMetersLong;
As you can see, the class has many #Value annotations that extracts values from application.properties file.
In the POM file I have these dependences:
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>2.0.1.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
<version>5.1.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-jupiter-api</artifactId>
<version>RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-platform-launcher</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
<version>2.0.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
Tn the test/resources folder I have the application.properties file with this information:
properties.prioritization:vip,food
food.requires.box:pizza,cake,flamingo
further.distance:2
slot.meters.long:0.5
The test file looks like this:
#ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class)
#TestPropertySource(locations="classpath:application.properties")
public class OrderServiceTest {
OrderService orderService;
#BeforeEach
void before(){
orderService = new OrderService();
}
#Test
void findAll() {
Order order = new Order().withDescription("2x Pizza with Salad\\n2x Kebab with Fries\\n1x Hot dog with Fries\\n2x Pizza with Fries");
assertTrue(orderService.orderHasFood.test(order));
}
}
But the test throws NullPointerException when it tries to use foodRequiresBox, so there is a problem to read the application.properties file.
Could you tell how can I read the application.properties file for the tests?
1st Solution
I would recommend to use Spring's internal annotation called #SpringJUnitConfig
This annotation is actually the same as #ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class) BUT you can configure your spring application contexts for your test in the same way you used to use #ContextConfiguration.
Or if you want a full Spring Boot Test you could just combine:
#SpringJUnitConfig
#SpringBootTest
public class OrderServiceTest {
...
}
2nd Solution
Another way is to not use Spring at all, but mock all the internal stuff with e.g. Mockito and write a plain simple Unit Test.
You could then set your normally via Spring injected annotated #Value fields via org.springframework.test.util.ReflectionTestUtils.
I'd recommend using org.springframework.test.util.ReflectionTestUtils (as indicated in #mrkernelpanic second solution) using the setField() method, in order to avoid initializing the full Spring context.
Here is a snippet:
// ReflexionTestUtils.setField(targetObject, "targetFieldName", valueToInject);
ReflexionTestUtils.setField(orderService, "foodRequiresBox", "pizza,cake,flamingo");

No value at JSON path "$"

I am testing rest controller. Here is test code:
mockMvc.perform(get("/index/get-all"))
.andExpect(status().isOk())
.andDo(print())
.andExpect(jsonPath("$",hasSize(2)));
I get response body:
Body = [{"id":"123"},{"id":"1234"}]
And I get error:
java.lang.AssertionError: No value at JSON path "$", exception: net/minidev/json/writer/JsonReaderI
What am I doing wrong?
Your body returns an array with objects. To access each object in Spring MVC Test use following assertion:
.andExpect(jsonPath("[0].id").value("123"))
.andExpect(jsonPath("[1].id").value("1234"))
Get the same error.
Try to use higher version json-smart in your dependency, and exclude the lower version from the package which contains json-smart. For me, I changed my dependency to:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.jayway.jsonpath</groupId>
<artifactId>json-path</artifactId>
<version>2.2.0</version>
<scope>test</scope>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<artifactId>json-smart</artifactId>
<groupId>net.minidev</groupId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.jayway.jsonpath</groupId>
<artifactId>json-path-assert</artifactId>
<version>2.2.0</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>net.minidev</groupId>
<artifactId>json-smart</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Double check your url: "/index/get-all" and make sure you are using the full path of your controller class. I ran into this same issue because my url was missing a part of the path ("/Folder/"). What I had been using was "/folderId=1234" and realized I forgot to add the controller's #RequestMapping annotated part at the top of the class, so it was supposed to be "/Folder/folderId=1234".
Example controller code
#RestController
#RequestMapping ("/Folder")
public class FolderController {
#RequestMapping (value = "/folderId={Id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public Folder getFolderById (#PathVariable String folderId, HttpSession session)
{
// controller code
}
}
The incorrect url I was using.
mockMvc.perform(
get("/folderId=1234")
.andExpect(status().isOk())
.andDo(print())
.andExpect(jsonPath("$",hasSize(2)));
Correct url.
mockMvc.perform(
get("/Folder/folderId=1234")
.andExpect(status().isOk())
.andDo(print())
.andExpect(jsonPath("$",hasSize(2)));
I had a scenario where the stack trace was indicating something similar to your error:
java.lang.AssertionError: No value at JSON path "$[0].contentId"
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/minidev/json/writer/JsonReaderI
I found this post: https://github.com/json-path/JsonPath/issues/159#issuecomment-411306322 which caught my attention. I was using the net.minidev:json-smart:1.1.1 in my project.
What I did was just updating the version to 2.3 and the issue was solved.
