JSON result problem

Support
#1

Hi,
I’m using com.google.gson package’s JsonObject to return custom Json object results from various REST services. My problem is it works fine in development environment/cuba studio, but now I have started to build and deploy the docker modules, it doesn’t work there, I get exceptions like :


Caused by: org.springframework.remoting.RemoteAccessException: Could not access HTTP invoker remote service at [clover_FusionService]; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to deserialize object

I don’t really know how could it work differently, and how could I resolve it. I have tried to send back the result as String, but obviously that won’t set the response header content type to “application/json” which is causing problems in my javascripts as they are expecting this.
Is there a way to set the response header manually or any other working way to return the result in json format?

Thanks for your help:

Hi,
you can return result as a String and specify the response content-type as ‘application/json’. One way to do it is to use the produces attribute of the GetMapping annotation.
See Spring documentation for details: Web on Servlet Stack

Hi Max,
thank you, I will look into this, looks interesting. For now I have changed the reslttype into a Map, and apparently that gets translated to json by some cuba magic internally, which is satisfactory now :slight_smile:
