I've been trying to serialize an object to a CSV String
but the object contains a List
and @JsonUnwrapped
doesn't work on List
objects.
Expected sample output:
color,part.name\n
red,gearbox\n
red,door\n
red,bumper
Actual output:
com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerationException: Unrecognized column 'name':
Here is my code: (Most of it is the 2 POJO's)

Part part3 = new Part();
part3.setName("bumper");
car.setParts(asList(part1, part2, part3));
System.out.println("serialized: " + serialize(car, Car.class, true));
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(NestedWrapping.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}

csvSchema = csvMapper.schemaFor(type).withHeader();
} else {
csvSchema = csvMapper.schemaFor(type).withoutHeader();
}
return csvMapper.writer(csvSchema).writeValueAsString(object);
}
}
Nothing I try seems to work, I've read every post on stackoverflow and github about the topic but I can't find a working solution.
Sorry about any pointless annotations that I've left behind for no reason and if you answer with code, please feel free to remove them.
From the error, I would like to believe that it has something to do with your schema for a Car
, which has the columns of {"color"}
taken from @JsonPropertyOrder
on Car
and not a "name"
value.
You probably want to add "parts"
in there, but you would get the same error that "name"
is not part of that schema.
After a few changes to your code, I was able to serialize and deserialize a Car
object.
Part
Here, after some other changes it needed a constructor with a single String value, so add that
@JsonPropertyOrder({"name"})
public static class Part {
@JsonProperty("name")
private String name;
public Part() {
this("");
}
public Part(String partJSON) {
// TODO: Unserialize the parameter... it is a serialized Part string...
this.name = partJSON;
}
Car
Here, you will need to implement a method that will convert the List<Part>
into a CSV-readable format manually.
Such a method would look like this
@JsonGetter("parts")
public String getPartString() {
String separator = ";";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
Iterator<Part> iter = this.parts.iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
Part p = iter.next();
sb.append(p.getName());
if (iter.hasNext())
sb.append(separator);
}
return sb.toString();
}
Also, don't forget to fix the schema at the top of the class
@JsonPropertyOrder({"color", "parts"})
public static class Car {
@JsonProperty("color")
private String color;
@JsonProperty("parts")
private List<Part> parts;
public Car() {
this.parts = new ArrayList<>();
}
serialize
You can change your serialize
method to take the type of the class as a generic type parameter instead of an explicit Class
like so.
public static final synchronized <T> String serialize(final T object, final Boolean withHeaders) throws IOException {
CsvMapper csvMapper = new CsvMapper();
CsvSchema csvSchema = csvMapper.schemaFor(object.getClass());
if (withHeaders) {
csvSchema = csvSchema.withHeader();
} else {
csvSchema = csvSchema.withoutHeader();
}
return csvMapper.writer(csvSchema).writeValueAsString(object);
}
main - writer
Now, if you serialize a Car
, you should see
color,parts
red,gearbox;door;bumper
main - reader
And reading that CSV string and looping over the Car.getParts()
Car car = mapper.readerFor(Car.class).with(csvSchema).readValue(csv);
for (Part p : car.getParts()) {
System.out.println(p.getName());
}
