Generate Correct JSON from Java Object - Jackson

Question

I have following result for the query select * from student where courseName = 'Science';

Results:

student_id | name   | points | course_name   | course_id |
+----------+--------+--------+---------------+-----------+
       1107| Matt   |   3000 |     Science  |    10     |
|      1108| Charley|  12348 |     Science  |    20     |

2 rows in set, 2 warnings (0.00 sec)

Part of Implementation code currently looks like :

List<StudentDetails> studentDetailss = StudentDetailsRepository
    .findByCourseId(Request.getCourseId());
List<Student> student = new ArrayList<>();
List<Item> studentList = new ArrayList<>();
Response response = new Response();

for (StudentDetails student : studentDetailss) {
  IndividualItem studentItem = new IndividualItem();
  studentItem.setId(student.getId());

  Offer offer = new Offer();
  offer.setName(studentDetailss.getName());
  offer.setTotalPoints(studentDetailss.getPoints());
  offer.setCourseName(studentDetailss.getCourseName());
  offer.setCourseId(studentDetailss.getCourseId());

  Student.add(offer);
  studentItem.setOfferList(Student);
  studentList.add(studentItem);
  Response.setItems(studentList);
    }

json_text = mapper.writeValueAsString(Response);

Above code prints the wrong JSON like :

 {"items":[{"id":"1107","details":[{"name":"Matt", "points":3000,"course_name":"Science","course_id":10},{"name": "Charley",points":12348,"course_name":"Science","course_id":20}]},{"id":"1108","details":[{"name":"Matt", "points":3000,"course_name":"Science","course_id":10},{"name": "Charley",points":12348,"course_name":"Science","course_id":20}]}]}

But I need to generate following JSON instead of the above one :

 {"items":[{"id":"1107","details":[{"name":"Matt", "points":3000,"course_name":"Science","course_id":10}]},{"id":"1108","details":[{"name": "Charley",points":12348,"course_name":"Science","course_id":20}]}]} 

(Note : It is not the real code - just a sample of the code)

Answer 1

The above problem was solved by initializing the array list 'student' inside the for loop:

The code changed like :

List<StudentDetails> studentDetailss = StudentDetailsRepository
    .findByCourseId(Request.getCourseId());
List<Item> studentList = new ArrayList<>();
Response response = new Response();

for (StudentDetails student : studentDetailss) {
  IndividualItem studentItem = new IndividualItem();
  studentItem.setId(student.getId());

  Offer offer = new Offer();
  offer.setName(studentDetailss.getName());
  offer.setTotalPoints(studentDetailss.getPoints());
  offer.setCourseName(studentDetailss.getCourseName());
  offer.setCourseId(studentDetailss.getCourseId());

  Student.add(offer);
  studentItem.setOfferList(Student);
  studentList.add(studentItem);
  Response.setItems(studentList);
    }

json_text = mapper.writeValueAsString(Response);
