@RequestBody is getting null values

问题:

I have created a simple REST service (POST). But when i call this service from postman @RequestBody is not receiving any values.

import org.springframework.http.MediaType;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

@RestController
public class Add_Policy {
    @ResponseBody
    @RequestMapping(value = "/Add_Policy", headers = {
            "content-type=application/json" }, consumes = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE, method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public Policy GetIPCountry( @RequestBody Policy policy) {

        System.out.println("Check value: " + policy.getPolicyNumber());
        return policy;

    }


}

My java Bean object is like below:

public class Policy {
    private String PolicyNumber;
    private String Type;
    private String Tenture;
    private String SDate;
    private String HName;
    private String Age;

    public String getPolicyNumber() {
        return PolicyNumber;
    }

    public void setPolicyNumber(String policyNumber) {
        PolicyNumber = policyNumber;
    }

    public String getType() {
        return Type;
    }

    public void setType(String type) {
        Type = type;
    }

    public String getTenture() {
        return Tenture;
    }

System.out.println is printing a null as a value for PolicyNumber.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

JSON which i am passing in request body is

{
    "PolicyNumber": "123",
    "Type": "Test",
    "Tenture": "10",
    "SDate": "10-July-2016",
    "HName": "Test User",
    "Age": "10"
}

I have even set Content-Type to application/json in postman

回答1:

Try setting the first character of the properties in your JSON to lower case. Eg.

{
    "policyNumber": "123",
    "type": "Test",
    "tenture": "10",
    "sDate": "10-July-2016",
    "hName": "Test User",
    "age": "10"
}

Basically, Spring uses getter and setter to set the properties of the the bean object. And it takes the property of the JSON object, matches it with the setter of the same name. eg to set the policyNumber property it tries to find a setter with the name setpolicyNumber() in your bean class and use that to set the value of your bean object.

回答2:

Java convention demands the name of variable in a POJO (attribute of a class) must to be the first character in lowercase.

You have uppercase letters in your JSON properties, which is what is causing the failure.

回答3:

Setter would have been missed. So, Object values do not get set.

回答4:

Use the annotation org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody and not org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody
