I am trying to create a springboot usermanagement application.
I have an entity object which contains two blob elements.Here is my entity object.
@Entity
@Table(name="user_meta_profile")
public class UserMetaProfile implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@Id
@Column(name = "user_id")
private int user_id;
@Column(name = "resume_file")
@Lob
private Blob resume_file;
@Column(name = "photo")
@Lob
private Blob photo;
@Column(name = "username")
private String username;
public int getUser_id() {
return user_id;
}
public void setUser_id(int user_id) {
this.user_id = user_id;
}
public Blob getResume_file() {
return resume_file;
}
public void setResume_file(Blob resume_file) {
this.resume_file = resume_file;
}
public Blob getPhoto() {
return photo;
}
public void setPhoto(Blob photo) {
this.photo = photo;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
}
As you can see there are two blob items 'resume_file' and 'photo'.
I want to send back a JSON response to the API call.
My Controller code is as shown below.
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/v1")
public class UsersController {
@Autowired
private IUserMetaProfileService userMetaProfileService;
@GetMapping("MetaProfile/{id}")
public ResponseEntity<UserMetaProfile> getUserMetaProfileById(@PathVariable("id") Integer id) {
UserMetaProfile userMetaProfile = userMetaProfileService.getUsersById(id);
return new ResponseEntity<UserMetaProfile>(userMetaProfile, HttpStatus.OK);
}
}
But when I call the API, I get the exception:
"exception": "org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotWritableException",
"message": "Could not write JSON document: No serializer found for class java.io.ByteArrayInputStream and no properties discovered to create BeanSerializer (to avoid exception, disable SerializationFeature.FAIL_ON_EMPTY_BEANS) (through reference chain:
...
...nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: No serializer found for class java.io.ByteArrayInputStream and no properties discovered to create BeanSerializer (to avoid exception, disable SerializationFeature.FAIL_ON_EMPTY_BEANS)
Since JSON cannot contain binary data you need to serialize those fields as something else. You have a couple of options:
So for Option 1 you can do something like this:
@Entity
@Table(name="user_meta_profile")
public class UserMetaProfile implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@Id
@Column(name = "user_id")
private int user_id;
@Column(name = "resume_file")
@Lob
private Blob resume_file;
@Column(name = "photo")
@Lob
private Blob photo;
@Column(name = "username")
private String username;
public int getUser_id() {
return user_id;
}
public void setUser_id(int user_id) {
this.user_id = user_id;
}
@JsonIgnore // disable serializing this field by default
public Blob getResume_file() {
return resume_file;
}
// serialize as data uri insted
@JsonProperty("resumeData")
public String getResume() {
// just assuming it is a word document. you would need to cater for different media types
return "data:application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document;base64," + new String(Base64.getEncoder().encode(resume_file.getBytes()));
}
public void setResume_file(Blob resume_file) {
this.resume_file = resume_file;
}
@JsonIgnore // disable this one too
public Blob getPhoto() {
return photo;
}
// serialize as data uri instead
@JsonProperty("photoData")
public String getPhotoBase64() {
// just assuming it is a jpeg. you would need to cater for different media types
return "data:image/jpeg;base64," + new String(Base64.getEncoder().encode(photo.getBytes()));
}
public void setPhoto(Blob photo) {
this.photo = photo;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
}
For the photo bit the value of the photoData
JSON attribute can be set directly as the src
attribute of an img
tag and the photo will be rendered in the HTML. With the resume file you can attach it as an href to a <a>
tag with a download
attribute so it can be downloaded:
<a href={photoData value here} download>Download Resume File</a>
Just as an FYI if the files are large the JSON will be huge and it might also slow down the browser.
