春季自动连接依赖项注入失败

Question

I have been running my project on Java 7 (exact version: jdk1.7.0_60) but since there is a company wide policy changed to upgrade to Java 8 (version: jdk1.8.0_73) I have upgraded my local machine's JVM to jdk1.8.0_73 and configured my project on this version.

Following are the facts for my project:
Spring Framework Version: 4.0.3.RELEASE
Java: jdk1.8.0_73

Since then my application is throwing following exceptions:

This issue was never there until i was using Java 7 version when I switched it to Java 8 then I am seeing this exception. Due to limitation of this editor I cannot paste the entire exception log. Will paste in comments if you need.

Can anyone help me with this issue?

Answer 1

Try value="java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets.UTF_8" instead of value="#{T(java.nio.charset.Charset).forName('UTF-8')}" . You would also need to name your parameters otherwise Spring won't be able to instantiate the MediaType since multiple constructors with 3 parameters exist.

You can try the following code :

<bean class="org.springframework.http.MediaType" >
        <constructor-arg name="type" value="application" />
        <constructor-arg  name="subtype" value="json" />
        <constructor-arg name="charset" value="#{T(java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets).UTF_8}"/>
    </bean>

Answer 2

Thank you @louis-f for pointing out the issue and providing the solution. I tried to resolve this issue with the above suggestions but it was still giving the same exceptions. Then I tried following and it resolves my issue:

        <bean id="restTemplate" class="org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate">
            <property name="messageConverters">
                <list>
                    <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter">
                        <property name="supportedMediaTypes">
                            <list>
                                <bean class="org.springframework.http.MediaType">
                                    <constructor-arg name="type" value="application"/>
                                    <constructor-arg name="subtype" value="json"/>
                                    <constructor-arg name="charset" value="UTF-8" />
                                </bean>
                            </list>
                        </property>
                    </bean>
                    <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.xml.SourceHttpMessageConverter"/> 
                    <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.StringHttpMessageConverter">
                        <constructor-arg name="defaultCharset" value="UTF-8" />
                    </bean> 
                </list>
            </property>
        </bean>

So, what I actually did is just changed the charset constructor argument to string value ie "UTF-8" and it did worked for me. On the application debugging - I checked the object restTemplate in inspect element and now I have everything coming properly for the messageConverters list.

Thanks again.
