I am working on a Microservices Project in Java, using Spring Boot and Eureka. I came across a scenario where I fetch the data from another microservice using-
List<Rating> ratings=(List<Rating>) restTemplate.getForObject("http://localhost:8083/microservices/rating/get-all-ratings-by-user?userId=ddb8e2a9-ac6f-460d-a43e-eae23d18450c", Map.class).get("data");
Explanation- I get the following response from the URL I used above-
{
"data": [
{
"ratingId": "6140b240-9a97-430d-92b9-0fcfa8edc96f",
"userId": "ddb8e2a9-ac6f-460d-a43e-eae23d18450c",
"hotelId": "1093aa3f-8529-4330-8ce8-caa82546200b",
"rating": 4,
"feedback": "Died peacefully"
}
],
"message": "Success",
"code": "2000"
}
Aim- I want to extract the list of Rating objects from the response's data field and store it as a List . Further, I want to iterate over it and perform other operations.
ratings=ratings.stream().map(rating->{
//api call to hotel service to obtain the hotel
Hotel hotel=(Hotel) restTemplate.getForEntity("http://localhost:8086/microservices/hotel/get-hotel-by-id?hotelId="+rating.getHotelId(), Map.class).getBody().get("data");
logger.info("fetched hotel: ", hotel);
rating.setHotel(hotel);
}).collect(Collectors.toList());
Got a compile-time error on the .map() -
ratings.forEach((rating)->{
//api call to hotel service to obtain the hotel
Hotel hotel=(Hotel) restTemplate.getForEntity("http://localhost:8086/microservices/hotel/get-hotel-by-id?hotelId="+rating.getHotelId(), Map.class).getBody().get("data");
logger.info("fetched hotel: ", hotel);
rating.setHotel(hotel);
});
Error on forEach() -
java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.util.LinkedHashMap cannot be cast to class com.example.user_service.entities.Rating (java.util.LinkedHashMap is in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap'; com.example.user_service.entities.Rating is in unnamed module of loader org.springframework.boot.devtools.restart.classloader.RestartClassLoader @db2af5f)

You are overcomplicating the task, you can convert the json response from your RestTemplate
to a String
value, then extract the data part inside of it with jackson library like below:
JsonNode root =mapper.readTree(json); //<--convert the json string to a JsonNode
JsonNode data = root.at("/data"); //<-- selecting the "data" part
//conversion to List<Rating> avoid problems due to list type erasure
//with the help of jackson TypeReference class
List<Rating> ratings = mapper.convertValue(data, new TypeReference<List<Rating>>() {});
This is achieved using the JsonNode#at
method that locates the specific node with data label inside your json, to convert it to a List<Rating>
it is necessary to use TypeReference
to instantiate reference to generic type List<Rating>
