Spring WebClient 不将应用程序/八位字节流解码为文件 object

Question

Hi I am using OpenAPI Generator Maven Plugin to generate some Java Client code (using Spring WebClient library). One of the endpoints of my spec. returns binary content, like:

"schema": {
  "type": "string",
  "format": "binary"
}

The generated code uses java.io.File as the return type for that, like:

public Mono<ResponseEntity<File>> downloadWithHttpInfo(String filename) throws WebClientResponseException {
    ParameterizedTypeReference<File> localVarReturnType = new ParameterizedTypeReference<File>() {};
    return downloadRequestCreation(filename).toEntity(localVarReturnType);
}

When calling this generated method, the response code was 200 (ie OK from the server side), but I got the following error in my client code:

org.springframework.web.reactive.function.UnsupportedMediaTypeException:
    Content type 'application/octet-stream' not supported for bodyType=java.io.File

This came from the toEntity() method, which is part of the Spring WebClient code instead of my code.

Is there a way to workaround this? A: Instruct OpenAPI Generator Maven Plugin not to use java.io.File type but use Resource type? B: Somehow make WebClient able to decode application/octet-stream into java.io.File ?

Answer 1

Found a solution: add the following options to the OpenAPI Generator Maven Plugin then generate the code again, which would replace File to Resource

<generatorName>java</generatorName>
<library>webclient</library>
<typeMappings>string+binary=Resource</typeMappings>
<importMappings>Resource=org.springframework.core.io.Resource</importMappings>

The above is saying when the return type is string and the format is binary , map it to Resource and for Resource import it as org.springframework.core.io.Resource . There you go.

I had the exact same issue, but using Gradle instead of Maven. Here is the syntax for doing the same in Gradle:

task generateClientSources(type: org.openapitools.generator.gradle.plugin.tasks.GenerateTask) {
    generatorName = 'java'
    // other configs ..
    configOptions = [
            // other configs ..
            library : 'webclient'
    ]
    typeMappings = [
            File : 'Resource'
    ]
    importMappings = [
            File : 'org.springframework.core.io.Resource'
    ]
}
