Deserialize JSON to class instance

Onilol :

I have a class that is being sent through RabbitMQ as a message, on the sender service, it is defined like:

public final class User implements Serializable {

    private String nome;
    private String cognome;

    public User(@JsonProperty("nome") String nome,
                @JsonProperty("cognome") String cognome) {
        this.nome = nome;
        this.cognome = cognome;
    }

    public String getNome() {
        return nome;
    }

    public String getCognome() {
        return cognome;
    }

    public User(){}
}

and on the receiver service:

@Document
public class Persona {

    @Id
    @JsonProperty
    public ObjectId id;

    private String nome;

    private String cognome;

    public String getId() {
        return id.toHexString();
    }

    public void setId(ObjectId id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getNome() {
        return nome;
    }

    public void setNome(String nome) {
        this.nome = nome;
    }

    public String getCognome() {
        return cognome;
    }

    public void setCognome(String cognome) {
        this.cognome = cognome;
    }

    public Persona(ObjectId id, String nome, String cognome) {
        this.id = id;
        this.nome = nome;
        this.cognome = cognome;
    }

    public Persona(){}
}

In receiver controller, I have the following method, which should take that message, cast it to an object, and save it in a database, it looks like:

@RabbitListener(queues = {"default_parser_q"})
    public void receiveMessage(final Message message){
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper()
                .configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false)
                .configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_NULL_FOR_PRIMITIVES, false);

        mapper.readValue(message.getBody(), Persona.class);
        System.out.println(message.toString() + "the message has been received");
    }

The problem is that I'm getting an exception on the readValue() method, specifically:

Unhandled exceptions: java.io.IOException, com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParseException, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException

The message(JSON) being sent in this case, is:

{
  'nome': "John",
  'cognome': "Doe"
}

what am I doing wrong here?

Edit: Adding the stack trace as requested.

daniu :

It looks like the behaviour I've seen for Kafka, since you're also using Spring I assume it's the same.

Your sending end converts the object into Json and then sends it as a String - hence the escaped quotes in the error message (\"nome\": \"John\",\n\t\t\t\"cognome\": \"Doe\").

You need to declare JsonSerializer on the sender side and then pass it your User, or - if you manually create the Json String - declare that it's a byte array so Spring doesn't try to escape the quotes and whitespaces.
