pseudo code
assuming your Entity class as
@Entity(name="foo")
class Data{
@Id
private String source_system_guid;
@Column
private String source_system;
@Column
private String customer_number;
@Column
private String source_receipt_number;
public Data() {}
public Data(String ssId, String sourceSystm, String custNum, String srcRcptNum) {
this.source_system_guid = ssId;
this.source_system = sourceSystm;
this.customer_number = custNum;
this.source_receipt_number = srcRcptNum;
}
public String getSource_system_guid() {
return source_system_guid;
}
public void setSource_system_guid(String source_system_guid) {
this.source_system_guid = source_system_guid;
}
public String getSource_system() {
return source_system;
}
public void setSource_system(String source_system) {
this.source_system = source_system;
}
public String getCustomer_number() {
return customer_number;
}
public void setCustomer_number(String customer_number) {
this.customer_number = customer_number;
}
public String getSource_receipt_number() {
return source_receipt_number;
}
public void setSource_receipt_number(String source_receipt_number) {
this.source_receipt_number = source_receipt_number;
}
}
Now since your DTO/BO i.e. Data Transfer Object or Business Object is different from the actual entity we will create the required BO object as below
class DataTO{
@JsonProperty("process_ar_receipt")
private ReceiptTO receiptTO=new ReceiptTO();
public ReceiptTO getReceiptTO() {
return receiptTO;
}
public void setReceiptTO(ReceiptTO receiptTO) {
this.receiptTO = receiptTO;
}
}
class ReceiptTO{
@JsonProperty("message_header")
private MessageHeader messageHeder = new MessageHeader();
@JsonProperty("receipt_header")
private ReceiptHeader receiptHeder = new ReceiptHeader();
public MessageHeader getMessageHeder() {
return messageHeder;
}
public void setMessageHeder(MessageHeader messageHeder) {
this.messageHeder = messageHeder;
}
public ReceiptHeader getReceiptHeder() {
return receiptHeder;
}
public void setReceiptHeder(ReceiptHeader receiptHeder) {
this.receiptHeder = receiptHeder;
}
}
class MessageHeader{
@JsonProperty("source_System_Guid")
private String sourceSystemId;
@JsonProperty("system_Id")
private String systemId;
public String getSourceSystemId() {
return sourceSystemId;
}
public void setSourceSystemId(String sourceSystemId) {
this.sourceSystemId = sourceSystemId;
}
public String getSystemId() {
return systemId;
}
public void setSystemId(String systemId) {
this.systemId = systemId;
}
}
class ReceiptHeader{
@JsonProperty("customer_number")
private String customerNumber;
@JsonProperty("source_rcpt_number")
private String sourceReceiptNumber;
public String getCustomerNumber() {
return customerNumber;
}
public void setCustomerNumber(String customerNumber) {
this.customerNumber = customerNumber;
}
public String getSourceReceiptNumber() {
return sourceReceiptNumber;
}
public void setSourceReceiptNumber(String sourceReceiptNumber) {
this.sourceReceiptNumber = sourceReceiptNumber;
}
}
The @JsonProperty annotation is imported from org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonProperty; i.e from jackson jar
Now a Simple Test class to demo DTO/BO back and forth Entity conversion
public class Test{
public static void main(String[] args) throws JsonGenerationException, JsonMappingException, IOException {
List<Data> datas = new ArrayList<Data>();
datas.add(new Data("DDED-DBCD-REV-E1F4343DB3434","MeSo_TravelAds","123","TESTRCPT_1523"));
datas.add(new Data("ADED-EWQD-REV-E1F4343YG3434","FooSo_MusicAds","132","TESTRCPT_1523"));
datas.add(new Data("YDED-YUTR-REV-E1F43UIDB3434","BarSo_HealthAds","143","TESTRCPT_1523"));
List<DataTO> dataTOs = new ArrayList<DataTO>();
for (Data data : datas) {
DataTO dataTO = new DataTO();
dataTO.getReceiptTO().getMessageHeder().setSourceSystemId(data.getSource_system_guid());
dataTO.getReceiptTO().getMessageHeder().setSystemId(data.getSource_system());
dataTO.getReceiptTO().getReceiptHeder().setCustomerNumber(data.getCustomer_number());
dataTO.getReceiptTO().getReceiptHeder().setSourceReceiptNumber(data.getSource_receipt_number());
dataTOs.add(dataTO);
}
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
String str = mapper.writeValueAsString(dataTOs);
System.out.println(str);
}
}
This will give you below result
[
{
"process_ar_receipt":{
"message_header":{
"source_System_Guid":"DDED-DBCD-REV-E1F4343DB3434",
"system_Id":"MeSo_TravelAds"
},
"receipt_header":{
"customer_number":"123",
"source_rcpt_number":"TESTRCPT_1523"
}
}
},
{
"process_ar_receipt":{
"message_header":{
"source_System_Guid":"ADED-EWQD-REV-E1F4343YG3434",
"system_Id":"FooSo_MusicAds"
},
"receipt_header":{
"customer_number":"132",
"source_rcpt_number":"TESTRCPT_1523"
}
}
},
{
"process_ar_receipt":{
"message_header":{
"source_System_Guid":"YDED-YUTR-REV-E1F43UIDB3434",
"system_Id":"BarSo_HealthAds"
},
"receipt_header":{
"customer_number":"143",
"source_rcpt_number":"TESTRCPT_1523"
}
}
}
]
similarly the other conversion
String input = "{ \r\n" +
" \"process_ar_receipt\":{ \r\n" +
" \"message_header\":{ \r\n" +
" \"source_System_Guid\":\"ADED-EWQD-REV-E1F4343YG3434\",\r\n" +
" \"system_Id\":\"FooSo_MusicAds\"\r\n" +
" },\r\n" +
" \"receipt_header\":{ \r\n" +
" \"customer_number\":\"132\",\r\n" +
" \"source_rcpt_number\":\"TESTRCPT_1523\"\r\n" +
" }\r\n" +
" }\r\n" +
" }";
DataTO dataTO = mapper.readValue(input, DataTO.class);
System.out.println(dataTO.getReceiptTO().getMessageHeder().getSourceSystemId());
System.out.println(dataTO.getReceiptTO().getMessageHeder().getSystemId());
System.out.println(dataTO.getReceiptTO().getReceiptHeder().getCustomerNumber());
System.out.println(dataTO.getReceiptTO().getReceiptHeder().getSourceReceiptNumber());
this will print
ADED-EWQD-REV-E1F4343YG3434
FooSo_MusicAds
132
TESTRCPT_1523
You dont have to use the mapper code you can directly add the jackson converter as HttpMessageConverted which will convert the JSON to java object automatically
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class WebConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
... other configurations
@Override
public void configureMessageConverters(List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters) {
Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder builder = new Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder();
builder.serializationInclusion(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL);
builder.propertyNamingStrategy(PropertyNamingStrategy.CAMEL_CASE_TO_LOWER_CASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES);
builder.serializationInclusion(Include.NON_EMPTY);
builder.indentOutput(true).dateFormat(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd"));
converters.add(new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter(builder.build()));
converters.add(new MappingJackson2XmlHttpMessageConverter(builder.createXmlMapper(true).build()));
}
}
