This is the POJO class of ApiError. I am trying to convert string into the following class. I am passing {"message": "success", "code":"403"} string to convertToObject method.
package com.wrapper.reply;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnoreProperties;
import lombok.Builder;
import lombok.Getter;
import lombok.RequiredArgsConstructor;
@Getter
@Builder
@RequiredArgsConstructor
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public final class ApiError {
private final String code;
private final String message;
}
public static <T> T convertToObject(String body, Class<T> clazz) {
try {
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
return mapper.readValue(body, clazz);
} catch (IOException e) {
log.error(ERRMSG_PARSE_JSON, e);
throw new BadRequestException(ERRMSG_PARSE_JSON, e);
}
}
But I am getting the following error while trying to do it.
12:58:44.458 [main] ERROR com.JsonUtil - Exception in parsing json string

Update:
Seems like Jackson by default tries to set values after creating the object instance which is not possible if class has final fields.
So, we need to define a constructor and annotate with @JsonCreator to tell Jackson to use constructor to deserialize.
@Getter
@Builder
//@RequiredArgsConstructor
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
class ApiError {
private final String code;
private final String message;
@JsonCreator
public ApiError(@JsonProperty("code") String code, @JsonProperty("message") String message) {
this.code = code;
this.message = message;
}
}
Jackson is not able to find a way to instantiate ApiError object and set values to it.
You need to do any one of the following changes to ApiError class.
@JsonPOJOBuilder(withPrefix = "")@Setter)@AllArgsConstructor)
