Cannot deserialize instance of object out of START_ARRAY token in Spring Webservice
Solution 1:
Your json contains an array, but you're trying to parse it as an object.
This error occurs because objects must start with {
.
You have 2 options:
-
You can get rid of the
ShopContainer
class and useShop[]
insteadShopContainer response = restTemplate.getForObject( url, ShopContainer.class);
replace with
Shop[] response = restTemplate.getForObject(url, Shop[].class);
and then make your desired object from it.
-
You can change your server to return an object instead of a list
return mapper.writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter().writeValueAsString(list);
replace with
return mapper.writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter().writeValueAsString( new ShopContainer(list));
Solution 2:
Taking for granted that the JSON you posted is actually what you are seeing in the browser, then the problem is the JSON itself.
The JSON snippet you have posted is malformed.
You have posted:
[{
"name" : "shopqwe",
"mobiles" : [],
"address" : {
"town" : "city",
"street" : "streetqwe",
"streetNumber" : "59",
"cordX" : 2.229997,
"cordY" : 1.002539
},
"shoe"[{
"shoeName" : "addidas",
"number" : "631744030",
"producent" : "nike",
"price" : 999.0,
"sizes" : [30.0, 35.0, 38.0]
}]
while the correct JSON would be:
[{
"name" : "shopqwe",
"mobiles" : [],
"address" : {
"town" : "city",
"street" : "streetqwe",
"streetNumber" : "59",
"cordX" : 2.229997,
"cordY" : 1.002539
},
"shoe" : [{
"shoeName" : "addidas",
"number" : "631744030",
"producent" : "nike",
"price" : 999.0,
"sizes" : [30.0, 35.0, 38.0]
}
]
}
]
Solution 3:
I've had a very similar issue using spring-boot-starter-data-redis
. To my implementation there was offered a @Bean
for RedisTemplate
as follows:
@Bean
public RedisTemplate<String, List<RoutePlantCache>> redisTemplate(RedisConnectionFactory connectionFactory) {
final RedisTemplate<String, List<RoutePlantCache>> template = new RedisTemplate<>();
template.setConnectionFactory(connectionFactory);
template.setKeySerializer(new StringRedisSerializer());
template.setValueSerializer(new Jackson2JsonRedisSerializer<>(RoutePlantCache.class));
// Add some specific configuration here. Key serializers, etc.
return template;
}
The fix was to specify an array of RoutePlantCache
as following:
template.setValueSerializer(new Jackson2JsonRedisSerializer<>(RoutePlantCache[].class));
Below the exception I had:
