I would like to know after the deserialization with Jackson what fields where set by the Json input (even null), so I can than distinguish the null fields than where set on null from the one that where not specified in Json.
This question comes after my previous one about BeanDeserializerModifier .
public class Dto {
public Collection<String> deserializedFields;
// or even better a collection of reflection fields of the object.
}
public MyFooDto extends Dto {
public Integer myField1;
@PossiblySomeJacksonAnnotation (include, exclude, map on other name, special deserializer, etc...)
public SomeDatatype myField2;
}
Example: by deserializing {"myField1": null} I would like to have deserializedFields = ["myField1"], and by deserializing {} I would like to have deserializedFields = [].
I already tried within a custom deserializer and a BeanDeserializerModifier , but still I cant intercept the list of fields inside the Json object (or if I do so it already consumates the JsonParser and it can't be deserialized then). In the best case I would also get the reflection list of the MyFooDto Fields that have been set...
Do you see how I could proceed?
Thank you Community!
The most straightforward way is to add code in each setter to add the currently set variable name to a List
. Eg :
public class Dto {
public List<String> deserializedFields = new ArrayList<>();
}
and inside MyFooDto
setters like:
public void setMyField1(Integer myField1) {
deserializedFields.add("myField1");
this.myField1 = myField1;
}
That's a lot of work if there are hundreds of such setters. An alternative for such a case is to parse JSON into a tree first, traverse it to get JSON property names to add in a collection and then convert the tree to MyFooDto
. Eg (assuming you have a ObjectMapper mapper
and json
below is a String
with your example JSON):
ObjectNode tree = (ObjectNode) mapper.readTree(json);
ArrayNode deserializedFields = mapper.createArrayNode();
tree.fields().forEachRemaining(e -> deserializedFields.add(e.getKey()));
tree.put("deserializedFields", deserializedFields);
MyFooDto dto = mapper.treeToValue(tree, MyFooDto.class);
