Cannot construct instance of `java.time.ZonedDateTime` (no Creators, like default construct, exist)

Question

I'm learning Jackson under JAX-RS 1.0. The server returns a HTTP response as follows:

{
  "url": "http://localhost:8080/api/123",
  "created": "2018-05-26T09:21:26.301+02:00"
}

and I need to deserialize the JSON response into a Java object called ProductCreated:

public class ProductCreated {

  @JsonProperty("created")
  private final ZonedDateTime created;

  @JsonProperty("url")
  private final String url;

  public ProductCreated(String url) {
    this.url = url;
    this.created = ZonedDateTime.now();
  }

  @JsonCreator
  public ProductCreated(
      @JsonProperty("url") String url,
      @JsonProperty("created") ZonedDateTime created) {
    this.url = url;
    this.created = created;
  }

  public String getUrl() {
    return url;
  }

  public ZonedDateTime getCreated() {
    return created;
  }
}

In my test, it failed to construct the ProductCreated object:

Product p = new Product("123", "foo");
ProductCreated c = wr.type(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
                     .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
                     .post(ProductCreated.class, p);

And the client side error is:

Cannot construct instance of java.time.ZonedDateTime (no Creators, like default construct, exist): no String-argument constructor/factory method to deserialize from String value ('2018-05-26T09:21:26.301+02:00')

On the server side, I configured the JSON mapper (but no effect to my test since test is client side?):

private static JacksonJsonProvider newJacksonJsonProvider() {
  ObjectMapper mapper =
      new ObjectMapper()
          .registerModule(new ParameterNamesModule())
          .registerModule(new Jdk8Module())
          .registerModule(new JavaTimeModule()); // new module, NOT JSR310Module
  mapper.disable(SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS);
  mapper.setDateFormat(new StdDateFormat());
  return new JacksonJsonProvider(mapper);
}

What am I missing here?

Answer 1

As @PaulSamsotha pointed out, I need to register the JacksonJsonProvider on the client side too:

ClientConfig cc = new DefaultClientConfig();
cc.getSingletons().add(ShopApplication.newJacksonJsonProvider());
wr = Client.create(cc).resource(Main.BASE_URI.resolve("products"));

which contains the customized solution:

private static JacksonJsonProvider newJacksonJsonProvider() {
  ObjectMapper mapper =
      new ObjectMapper()
          .registerModule(new ParameterNamesModule())
          .registerModule(new Jdk8Module())
          .registerModule(new JavaTimeModule()); // new module, NOT JSR310Module
  mapper.disable(SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS);
  mapper.setDateFormat(new StdDateFormat());
  return new JacksonJsonProvider(mapper);
}

Answer 2

I was able to deserialize a JSON file with a ZonedDateTime with this code.

ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper()
objectMapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false)
objectMapper.registerModule(new JavaTimeModule())
MyObject myObject = objectMapper.readValue(new File("src/test/resources/data/my_object.json"), MyObject.class)
