jackson 反序列化string_使用Jackson从String反序列化ArrayList

I am using Spring's MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter to convert JSON message to object in my controller.

class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter">

For fields that are declared as ArrayList, if the json message contains a String instead, the following exception will be thrown:

org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException:

Could not read JSON: Can not deserialize instance of java.util.ArrayList out of VALUE_STRING token

An example would be the class definition below:

public class Product {

private String name;

private List images;

}

Where the incoming Json is:

{name:"Widget", images:"image1.jpg"}

AS you can see, this will produce the exception since image is expected to be an array.

I would like to make custom deserializer which is a bit more tolerant. If deserialization fails, create a ArrayList of a single element from the String. How would I go about injecting this into the MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter or ObjectMapper?

I am not looking to use annotation to mark each and every ArrayList field so a custom deserialize could be used. I am looking for a way to overwrite the default deserializer to preform this function.

Check out this article describing how to use the features of the jackson objectMapper to accomplish this.

For me adding the following solved this issue

jsonMapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.ACCEPT_SINGLE_VALUE_AS_ARRAY, true);
