JsonMappingError during json serialization with Jackson

Question

I have a JsonMappingError after switching from org.codehaus.jackson to the newer one: com.fasterxml.jackson. This is the code of my class:

@Entity
@Table(name = "users")
@XmlRootElement
@Indexed(index="User")
public class User extends Resource<ResourceType> {

...

private String sessionId;

@Column(unique = true)
@JsonProperty
@Field(store=Store.YES)
@XmlElement
private String login;

@NotNull
@NotEmpty
private String password;

@Type(type = "localeUserType")
@NotNull
@XmlTransient
private Locale locale;

@NotNull
@JsonProperty
private boolean enabled=true;

@NotNull
@JsonProperty
private boolean hidden;

@NotNull
@JsonProperty
private boolean editable=true;

@JsonProperty
@NotNull
private int idleTime = 0; //minutes for client to dissconnect

@ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name="role_id")
@NotNull
@XmlIDREF
@XmlElement(name="roleId")
private Role role; 

@JsonProperty
private Long expirationTime;

@JsonProperty
private String company;

@JsonProperty
private String department;

@JsonProperty
private String jobTitle;

@JsonProperty
private String email;

@JsonProperty
private String cellPhone;

@JsonProperty
private String officePhone;

@JsonProperty
@NotNull
private boolean mustChangePassword;
...

}

Resource class:

public class Resource<T extends ResourceType> extends AbstractEntity{

@Version
@NotNull
@JsonProperty("entityVersion")
@XmlAttribute
private Integer entityVersion;

@NotNull
@NotEmpty
@JsonProperty
@Field(store=Store.YES)
@Index(name = "resourceNameIndex")
@XmlElement
private String name;

@ManyToOne(targetEntity=ResourceType.class, fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinColumn(name="resource_type_id")
@NotNull
private T type;

private Integer deleted = 0;

@JsonProperty("type")
public Integer getTypeId() {
    return type==null ? null : type.getId();
}

@JsonProperty("type")
public void setTypeId(int id) {
    if (type!=null)
        type.setId(id);
}

public Resource() {
    entityVersion=0;
}

public NGResource(Integer id, String name){
    this();
    setId(id);
    setName(name);
}

public Resource(String name){
    this();
    setName(name);
}

public Resource(Integer id) {
    super(id);
}

public Resource(String name,T type){
    this(name);
    setType(type);
}
...
}

and AbstractEntity:

@MappedSuperclass
@XmlRootElement
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.NONE)
@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public abstract class AbstractEntity implements Serializable {

@Id
@GeneratedValue
@JsonProperty("_id")
private Integer id;

public AbstractEntity() {
}

public AbstractEntity(Integer id) {
    this.id = id;
}

public AbstractEntity(int id) {
    this.id = id;
}

public Integer getId() {
    return id;
}

public void setId(Integer id) {
    this.id = id;
}

@XmlID
@XmlAttribute
public void setID(String id){
    this.id=((id==null)?null:Integer.valueOf(id));
}

public String getID() {
    return (id==null)?null:id.toString();
}

}

and this is the stacktrace:

Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

I am encountering the exact same issue. Could you resolve this? — Vincent Pazeller, Dec 10 '17 at 18:07

In my case this was because the default RepositoryRestConfigurerAdapter in spring-data-rest was not serializing the id attribute for my entity class. To fix the problem I created the following spring config class:

@Configuration
public class RepositoryConfig extends RepositoryRestConfigurerAdapter {
    @Autowired
    private EntityManager entityManager;

    @Override
    public void configureRepositoryRestConfiguration(RepositoryRestConfiguration config) {
        // This fixes issue where id is not marshalled in get for an object.
        // See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24839760/spring-boot-responsebody-doesnt-serialize-entity-id
        config.exposeIdsFor(
                entityManager.getMetamodel().getEntities().stream()
                        .map(Type::getJavaType)
                        .toArray(Class[]::new));
    }    
}

Wild guess: this is because of your .setId(). Jackson finds it and maps it to a JSON Object member whose name is "id".

Try and add @JsonIgnore to that setter.

I added @JsonIgnore to both pairs of getters and setters, that didn't helped. Could it be that's because I have two methods of getId? – Ion C Jan 21 '15 at 16:30
Uh, I didn't notice that you also had `.{get,set}ID` as well... Well, maybe try and remove the @JsonProperty annotation from the field and add it to the getter/setter pair you want? – fge Jan 21 '15 at 16:32
I completely removed one pair of getters/setters. Unfortunately, that didn't helped. – Ion C Jan 22 '15 at 07:14
