I have a Java implementation Override method which returns DTO object results from 2 microservices depending on entered parameters.
I am able to get filtered search results however where the 2nd service conditions were not met I receive 'null' I would want to achieve a results where null objects are not returned whatsoever.How am I able to return results which meet all specified parameters?
Below I have provided screenshot of response I receive using "Swagger" and the code snipped which does all the magic.
Would I require to use ObjectMapper or something like @JsonInclude(Include.NON_NULL)
, however can I use it within service implantation and with DTO objects?
Any further suggestions or idea bouncing would be appreciated.
I have further build on my previous question Java pass variable into mapped DTO method?
Swagger response:
Code snippet:
@Override
public Page<ProfileCreditDTO> findProfileBySelectedParameters(String username, Integer gender, Integer profileType, Integer orientation, Boolean online, Double profileCredit, Integer creditMode, Double creditTotal, Pageable pageable) {
Page<Profile> searchData= profileRepository.findByAllParameters(username, gender, profileType, orientation, online, pageable);
Page<ProfileCreditDTO> searchProfileData=null;
if(searchData != null)
searchProfileData = searchData.map(x -> this.convertProfileToProfileCreditDTO(x, profileCredit, creditMode, creditTotal));
return searchProfileData;
}
public ProfileCreditDTO convertProfileToProfileCreditDTO(final Profile theProfile, Double profileCredit, Integer creditMode, Double creditTotal) {
if(theProfile == null)
return null;
ProfileCreditDTO theDTO= new ProfileCreditDTO();
theDTO.setProfile(theProfile);
CreditDTO theCreditDto = profileCreditClient.findClientByProfileId(theProfile.getId(), profileCredit, creditMode, creditTotal);
log.error(String.valueOf(theCreditDto));
if (theCreditDto != null)
theDTO.setCredit(theCreditDto);
else {
return null;
}
return theDTO;
}
Updated
I have tried adding @JsonInclude(Include.NON_NULL)
into ProfileCredit DTO still nothing, also have added same thing into CreditDTO.
ProfileCredit DTO:
@Data
@AllArgsConstructor
@NoArgsConstructor
@ToString
@JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL)
public class ProfileCreditDTO {
// profile fields
private Long profileId;
@Size(min = 2, max = 50)
private String username;
private Integer gender;
private Integer profileType;
private Integer orientation;
private boolean online;
// Credit fields
private Long creditId;
@Column(unique = true)
private Double profileCredit; //X
private Integer creditMode;
private Integer creditCheck;
private Double creditTotal;
/**
* set the profile derived data
* @param profile
*/
public void setProfile(final Profile profile){
this.setProfileId(profile.getId());
this.setUsername(profile.getUsername());
this.setGender(profile.getGender());
this.setProfileType(profile.getProfileType());
this.setOrientation(profile.getOrientation());
this.setOnline(profile.isOnline());
}
/**
* Set the credit aspect
* @param credit
*/
public void setCredit(final CreditDTO credit){
this.setCreditId(credit.getId());
this.setProfileId(credit.getProfileId());
this.setProfileCredit(credit.getProfileCredit());
this.setCreditMode(credit.getCreditMode());
this.setCreditTotal(credit.getCreditTotal());
}
When I don't specify return null;
within implementation, the response looks like this. As you can see all objects gets returned which meets condition 1 but where condition 2 is not met empty object fields are returned.
Your "objects" which are elements can't be directly removed from a Page. What you can do is, get the content from the page, that will be a list and then remove the the element from the list according to your condition , then create a new Page with the data fields required for a Page.
Instead of
@Override
public Page<ProfileCreditDTO> findProfileBySelectedParameters(String username, Integer gender, Integer profileType, Integer orientation, Boolean online, Double profileCredit, Integer creditMode, Double creditTotal, Pageable pageable) {
Page<Profile> searchData= profileRepository.findByAllParameters(username, gender, profileType, orientation, online, pageable);
Page<ProfileCreditDTO> searchProfileData=null;
if(searchData != null)
searchProfileData = searchData.map(x -> this.convertProfileToProfileCreditDTO(x, profileCredit, creditMode, creditTotal));
return searchProfileData;
}
try
@Override
public Page<ProfileCreditDTO> findProfileBySelectedParameters(String username, Integer gender, Integer profileType, Integer orientation, Boolean online, Double profileCredit, Integer creditMode, Double creditTotal, Pageable pageable) {
Page<Profile> searchData= profileRepository.findByAllParameters(username, gender, profileType, orientation, online, pageable);
Page<ProfileCreditDTO> searchProfileData=null;
if(searchData != null)
searchProfileData = searchData.map(x -> this.convertProfileToProfileCreditDTO(x, profileCredit, creditMode, creditTotal));
List modifiedAppList = searchProfileData.getContent().stream().filter(v -> v !=null).collect(Collectors.toList()); //Will filter your search result and put it into a list
Page<ProfileCreditDTO> filteredList = new PageImpl<>(modifiedAppList, new PageRequest(0, searchProfileData.getSize()), searchProfileData.getTotalElements()); //Will put your filtered list back into page
return filteredList; //Returns filtered result
}
Got the answer for this question from Spring Data Rest - How to remove an element from a Page? only amended the code and bit of the wording, as answer was already spot on ;)
