How to customize the Jackson serializer for Spring SQS - spring

How do you customize the Jackson JSON serializer for SQS? I've googled around, but so far everything I've found is related to the Spring web stuff, and there doesn't seem to be any way to get a hold of a reference to the serializer that Spring SQS uses, so that I can add my custom types (Java 8 Date stuff)

I just had a look at the source code of spring-cloud-aws to see how the Jackson object mapper is being instantiated, see here: QueueMessagingTemplate.java.
It turns out that it has a constructor that takes in a MessageConverter, so you could do this:
#Configuration
public class SpringAwsMessagingConfig {
#Bean
public QueueMessagingTemplate myMessagingTemplate(AmazonSQS amazonSqs, ResourceIdResolver resolver) {
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
// configure the Jackson mapper as needed
MappingJackson2MessageConverter converter = new MappingJackson2MessageConverter();
converter.setSerializedPayloadClass(String.class);
converter.setObjectMapper(mapper);
return new QueueMessagingTemplate(amazonSqs, resolver, converter);
}
}

How to configure HttpMessageConverter for specified controller in SpringMvc

As we know, we can configure the global HttpMessageConverter by configureMessageConverters method in WebMvcConfigurer.
see https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/web.html#mvc-config-message-converters
But I want to configure a HttpMessageConverter for specified Controller to override the global configuration to implement the function different from the global.
How should I configure it? Can any friends give me pointers?
You can put below code in any of your configuration classes. and you have to autowire this specific objectmapper in that class where you need.Even you can create multiple objectmappers to serve different purposes.
#Bean
#Qualifier("customForController")
public ObjectMapper getObjectMapper() {
ObjectMapper mapper=new ObjectMapper();
return mapper;
}
#Bean
#Qualifier("customMessageConverter")
public MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter converter() {
MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter httConverter = new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter();
httConverter.setObjectMapper(getObjectMapper());
//others configuration goes here
return httConverter;
}

Spring Cloud Stream #StreamListener Custom MappingJackson2MesageConverter

I have a custom ObjectMapper configured within my application which has custom modules for deserializing immutable types provided by Guava in Jackson.
My problem is that I cannot seem to override the objectMapper use by #StreamListener such that it deserializes my objects correctly.
Here is what I have tried:
#Bean
public MessageConverter messageConverter() {
final MappingJackson2MessageConverter mappingJackson2MessageConverter = new MappingJackson2MessageConverter();
mappingJackson2MessageConverter.setObjectMapper(objectMapper);
return mappingJackson2MessageConverter;
}
The above snippet is in a class annotated with #Configuration and the objectMapper is defined in the class:
public static final ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper()
.registerModule(new ParameterNamesModule(JsonCreator.Mode.PROPERTIES))
.registerModule(new GuavaModule());
Any ideas on what I may be missing?
Spring Boot: 1.5.10.RELEASE
Spring Rabbit: 1.7.6.RELEASE
Spring Cloud Stream: 1.2.2.RELEASE
Spring Messaging: 4.3.14.RELEASE
So, it turns out there was no issue with my configuration. My custom ObjectMapper was being selected by the MappingJackson2MessageConverter. However, the message converter was not being selected, because the messages were being sent with the wrong content-type header.
Moral of the story, be careful with the Content-Type and make sure it matches the converter.

Configure a Jackson's DeserializationProblemHandler in Spring environment [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Can't set ProblemHandler to ObjectMapper in Spring Boot
(2 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
As I understood, Spring is already providing a bean for Jackson ObjectMapper. Therefore, instead of creating a new bean, I'm trying to customize this bean.
From this blog post, and then this Github project I used Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder bean to achieve this customization.
#Bean
public Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder(ApplicationContext context) {
Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder builder = new Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder();
builder.findModulesViaServiceLoader(true);
return builder;
}
Then, I was trying to customize the deserializer in order to make it lenient: if an exception is raised when deserializing a property, I want the result object's property to be null and let the deserialization continue (default is to fail on first property that cannot be deserialized).
I've been able to achieve that with a class NullableFieldsDeserializationProblemHandler that extends DeserializationProblemHandler (I do not think the code is relevant but if needed, I can share it).
The simplest way to register this handler is to use the .addHandler() method of ObjectMapper. But of course, doing like this, I would need to set that every time I inject and use the ObjectMapper. I'd like to be able to configure handler so that every time the ObjectMapper is auto-wired, the handler is already present.
The best solution I came up with so far is to use a #PostConstruct annotation only to register the problem handler.
#Configuration
public class JacksonConfiguration implements InitializingBean {
#Autowired private ObjectMapper objectMapper;
#Bean
public Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder(ApplicationContext context) {
Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder builder = new Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder();
builder.findModulesViaServiceLoader(true);
return builder;
}
#Override
public void afterPropertiesSet() {
objectMapper.addHandler(new NullableFieldsDeserializationProblemHandler());
}
}
But the problem of this solution is that it seems I can still access an autowired ObjectMapper that doesn't have yet registered the problem handler (I can see it happening after when I need it in debug mode).
Any idea how I should register this handler? I've noticed Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder has a .handlerInstantiator() but I couldn't figure out how to use it.
Note I've also tried with Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilderCustomizer since I'm using Spring Boot but had no better results.
It's not possible to directly add a DeserializationProblemHandler to the ObjectMapper via a Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder or Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilderCustomizer. The handlerInstanciator() method is for something else.
However, it's possible to do so by registering a Jackson module:
the builder has a modules() method
the module has access via setupModule() to a SetupContext instance, which has a addDeserializationProblemHandler() method
This works:
#Bean
public Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilderCustomizer customizer() {
return new Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilderCustomizer() {
#Override
public void customize(Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder builder) {
builder.modules(new MyModule());
}
};
}
private static class MyModule extends SimpleModule {
#Override
public void setupModule(SetupContext context) {
// Required, as documented in the Javadoc of SimpleModule
super.setupModule(context);
context.addDeserializationProblemHandler(new NullableFieldsDeserializationProblemHandler());
}
}
What about writing a bean like this:
#Configuration
public class ObjectMapperConfiguration {
#Bean
ObjectMapper objectMapper() {
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
// jackson 1.9 and before
objectMapper.configure(DeserializationConfig.Feature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);
// or jackson 2.0
objectMapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);
return objectMapper;
}
}
This is for global configuration. If, instead, what you want to do is to configure the feature for specific a class, use this annotation above the class definition:
#JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)

Spring return image from controller while using Jackson Hibernate5Module

I am using Spring 4.3.1 and Hibernate 5.1.0 for my webapp.
For Jackson to be able serializing lazy objects I have to add the Hibernate5Module to my default ObjectMapper. This I have done via
#EnableWebMvc
#Configuration
#ComponentScan({ "xxx.controller" })
public class SpringWebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Autowired
SessionFactory sf;
...
#Override
public void configureMessageConverters(List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters) {
Hibernate5Module module = new Hibernate5Module(sf);
module.disable(Feature.USE_TRANSIENT_ANNOTATION);
module.enable(Feature.FORCE_LAZY_LOADING);
Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder builder = new Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder();
builder.modulesToInstall(module);
converters.add(new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter(builder.build()));
super.configureMessageConverters(converters);
}
}
This is working but if it is enabled serializing a byte[] does not work anymore and fails with HTTP Status 500 - Could not write content: No serializer found for class java.io.BufferedInputStream
So my question is how to extend the default ObjectMapper while preserving the default ones?
I have seen somthing preserving the defaults using Spring Boot but I do not use Spring Boot. Any ideas?
As specified in the WebMvcConfigurer.configureMessageConverters javadoc, "If no converters are added, a default list of converters is registered", i.e. you will have to manually add all the default converters if you are using WebMvcConfigurer. Calling 'super.configureMessageConverters(converters)' does nothing if you extend WebMvcConfigurer. Take a look in 'WebMvcConfigurationSupport.addDefaultHttpMessageConverters(...)' to see all the default message converters, you can also extend this class instead of WebMvcConfigurer, with which you get slightly more clarity what happens.

Spring Boot with Two MVC Configurations

I have a Spring Boot app with a REST API, using Jackson for the JSON view configuration. It works great and I can get all the Spring Boot goodness.
However, I need to add an additional REST API that is similar but with different settings. For example, among other things, it needs a different Jackson object mapper configuration because the JSON will look quite a bit different (e.g. no JSON arrays). That is just one example but there are quite a few differences. Each API has a different context (e.g. /api/current and /api/legacy).
Ideally I'd like two MVC configs mapped to these different contexts, and not have to give up any of the automatic wiring of things in boot.
So far all I've been able to get close on is using two dispatcher servlets each with its own MVC config, but that results in Boot dropping a whole bunch of things I get automatically and basically defeats the reason for using boot.
I cannot break the app up into multiple apps.
The answer "you cannot do this with Boot and still get all its magic" is an acceptable answer. Seems like it should be able to handle this though.
There's several ways to achieve this. Based on your requirement , Id say this is a case of managing REST API versions.
There's several ways to version the REST API, some the popular ones being version urls and other techniques mentioned in the links of the comments.
The URL Based approach is more driven towards having multiple versions of the address:
For example
For V1 :
/path/v1/resource
and V2 :
/path/v2/resource
These will resolve to 2 different methods in the Spring MVC Controller bean, to which the calls get delegated.
The other option to resolve the versions of the API is to use the headers, this way there is only URL, multiple methods based on the version.
For example:
/path/resource
HEADER:
X-API-Version: 1.0
HEADER:
X-API-Version: 2.0
This will also resolve in two separate operations on the controller.
Now these are the strategies based on which multiple rest versions can be handled.
The above approaches are explained well in the following: git example
Note: The above is a spring boot application.
The commonality in both these approaches is that there will need to be different POJOS based on which Jackson JSON library to automatically marshal instances of the specified type into JSON.
I.e. Assuming that the code uses the #RestController [org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController]
Now if your requirement is to have different JSON Mapper i.e. different JSON mapper configurations, then irrespective of the Spring contexts you'll need a different strategy for the serialization/De-Serialization.
In this case, you will need to implement a Custom De-Serializer {CustomDeSerializer} that will extend JsonDeserializer<T> [com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonDeserializer] and in the deserialize() implement your custom startegy.
Use the #JsonDeserialize(using = CustomDeSerializer.class) annotation on the target POJO.
This way multiple JSON schemes can be managed with different De-Serializers.
By Combining Rest Versioning + Custom Serialization Strategy , each API can be managed in it's own context without having to wire multiple dispatcher Servlet configurations.
Expanding on my comment of yesterday and #Ashoka Header idea i would propose to register 2 MessageConverters (legacy and current) for custom media types. You can do this like that:
#Bean
MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter currentMappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter() {
MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter jsonConverter = new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter();
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
// set features
jsonConverter.setObjectMapper(objectMapper);
jsonConverter.setSupportedMediaTypes(Arrays.asList(new MediaType("json", "v2")));
return jsonConverter;
}
#Bean
MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter legacyMappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter() {
MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter jsonConverter = new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter();
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
// set features
jsonConverter.setObjectMapper(objectMapper);
return jsonConverter;
}
Pay attention to the custom media-type for one of the converters.
If you like , you can use an Interceptor to rewrite the Version-Headers proposed by #Ashoka to a custom Media-Type like so:
public class ApiVersionMediaTypeMappingInterceptor extends HandlerInterceptorAdapter {
#Override
public boolean preHandle(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, Object handler) throws Exception {
try {
if(request.getHeader("X-API-Version") == "2") {
request.setAttribute("Accept:","json/v2");
}
.....
}
}
This might not be the exact answer you were looking for, but maybe it can provide some inspiration. An interceptor is registered like so.
If you can live with a different port for each context, then you only have to overwrite the DispatcherServletAutoConfiguration beans. All the rest of the magic works, multpart, Jackson etc. You can configure the Servlet and Jackson/Multipart etc. for each child-context separately and inject bean of the parent context.

The context1/2.properties files currently only contain a server.port=8080/8081 but you can set all the other spring properties for the child contexts there.
In Spring-boot ypu can use different profiles (like dev and test).
Start application with
-Dspring.profiles.active=dev
or -Dspring.profiles.active=test
and use different properties files named application-dev.properties or application-test.properties inside your properties directory.
That could do the problem.
