com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: Can not deserialize instance of java.util.ArrayList out of START_OBJECT token

Question

I have the following String and I am getting the above error.

 {product:[{product_type_id:1, product_cat_id:1, product_type_nm:PED}, {product_type_id:2, product_cat_id:2, product_type_nm:MOBILE APP}, {product_type_id:3, product_cat_id:1, product_type_nm:MOBILE}, {product_type_id:4, product_cat_id:3, product_type_nm:PAYMENT}, {product_type_id:5, product_cat_id:5, product_type_nm:USER}, {product_type_id:6, product_cat_id:6, product_type_nm:SMS}, {product_type_id:9, product_cat_id:6, product_type_nm:EMAIL}, {product_type_id:10, product_cat_id:6, product_type_nm:TOPUP}]}

Is there anything wrong in my String.

Following is the code I am using to convert.

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
             TypeFactory typeFactory = TypeFactory.defaultInstance();
            List list = mapper.readValue(new_value, typeFactory.constructCollectionType(List.class, BillingProductServiceMappingDTO.class));

Following is the exception I am getting,

package com.mkyong.common.dto;

 import java.io.Serializable;
 import java.util.List;

 public class BillingProductServiceMappingDTO implements Serializable{

/**

private int product_type_id;
private int product_cat_id;

public int getProduct_type_id() {
    return product_type_id;

public void setProduct_type_nm(int product_type_nm) {

}

  }

You need to unwrap the root value ("product") to make this work.

Add following property to mapper object:

mapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.UNWRAP_ROOT_VALUE, true);

Your Json is not valid. Try validating your json first http://jsonlint.com/

You can try something like

{
    "product": [{
        "product_type_id": 1,
        "product_cat_id": 1,
        "product_type_nm": "PED"
    }, {
        "product_type_id": 2,
        "product_cat_id": 2,
        "product_type_nm": "MOBILE APP"
    }, {
        "product_type_id": 3,
        "product_cat_id": 1,
        "product_type_nm": "MOBILE"
    }, {
        "product_type_id": 4,
        "product_cat_id": 3,
        "product_type_nm": "PAYMENT"
    }, {
        "product_type_id": 5,
        "product_cat_id": 5,
        "product_type_nm": "USER"
    }, {
        "product_type_id": 6,
        "product_cat_id": 6,
        "product_type_nm": "SMS"
    }, {
        "product_type_id": 9,
        "product_cat_id": 6,
        "product_type_nm": "EMAIL"
    }, {
        "product_type_id": 10,
        "product_cat_id": 6,
        "product_type_nm": "TOPUP"
    }]
 }
