Spring boot Jackson JSON Parse Error : no int/Int-argument constructor/factory method to deserialize from Number value

My Connections Entity Model looks like this

@Entity
@Getter@Setter@AllArgsConstructor@NoArgsConstructor
public class Connections implements Serializable {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private Long id;

    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    private MyUsers receiver;

    @OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    private MyUsers sender;

    private boolean accepted

    private boolean following;
}

And my MyUsers Model entity class looks like this

@Entity
@Getter @Setter @NoArgsConstructor @AllArgsConstructor
@Table(name = "my_users")
public class MyUsers implements Serializable {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private Long id;
    @Column(nullable = false, unique = true)
    private String userName;

    private String password;
    
    @OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "myUsers", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    @JsonIgnore
    private List<Blogs> blogs;

    @OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "receiver", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    @JsonIgnore
    private List<Connections> connections;
}

And the JSON POST Request Body to Connection API looks like this,

{
    "receiver": 1,
    "sender": 2,
    "following": 1,
    "accepted": 1
}

When I request I get this error

only if I remove sender and receiver from JSON the API works.

All my entity classes contains getters and setters and constructors from Lombok and also user instance for user_id 1 and 2 exists in my MySQL db

Solution

Just send : {receiver: {id: 1}} instead of {receiver: 1}, This will create the user with only the id without breaking the rest
