Consuming JSON in neo4j server extension

问题

I'm building a Neo4j (2.2.2) unmanaged extension and I can't figure out why the following method is throwing 415: unsupported media type when I post requests with properly-formatted JSON bodies and Content-Type:application/json headers.

@POST
@Path("/create")
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Response createFoo(FooBar input) {
      //not relevant        
}

This is the FooBar class I want the JSON to be mapped to:

@XmlRootElement
public class FooBar implements Serializable {
    String title;    
    public FooBar(){}
}

This is the message in my log:

`SEVERE: A message body reader for Java class org.mycompany.myproject.FooBar, and Java type class     
org.mycompany.myproject.FooBar, and MIME media type application/json was not found.
The registered message body readers compatible with the MIME media type are:
** ->
com.sun.jersey.core.impl.provider.entity.FormProvider
com.sun.jersey.core.impl.provider.entity.StringProvider
com.sun.jersey.core.impl.provider.entity.ByteArrayProvider
com.sun.jersey.core.impl.provider.entity.FileProvider
com.sun.jersey.core.impl.provider.entity.InputStreamProvider
com.sun.jersey.core.impl.provider.entity.DataSourceProvider
com.sun.jersey.core.impl.provider.entity.XMLJAXBElementProvider$General
com.sun.jersey.core.impl.provider.entity.ReaderProvider
com.sun.jersey.core.impl.provider.entity.DocumentProvider      
com.sun.jersey.core.impl.provider.entity.SourceProvider$StreamSourceReader
....

After looking at other SO answers to similar questions, I have included the appropriate version of jersey-json and confirmed that it is being included in my jar.

This is my pom.xml:

Note: Neo4j 2.2.2 runs Jersey 1.18.1

Update: At @StefanArmbruster's suggestion, I attempted adding jersey-media-json-jackson to the build, both with and without the jersey-json dependency, and am still having the same problem

回答1:

Instead of messing with Jersey's bundling, it is often simpler to simply directly include Jackson JAX-RS provider:

https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-jaxrs-providers

(for JSON, but also for XML, Smile or CBOR)

Simply including the provider jar via Maven dependency should be enough (jar has META-INF/services auto-registration metadata); it does depend on Jackson 2.x (jackson-databind), which you may want to add an explicit dependency as well.

回答2:

I've made some good experience by adding jersey-media-json-jackson to the project's build.

Also be sure to either deploy a jar-with-dependencies, or install the dependencies separately into Neo4j's plugins folder.

回答3:

I had the same problem and fixed by including jersey-media-json-jackson into the extension JAR. Check my pom.xml (Unnecessary parts are ignored):

<dependencies>
    <!-- neo4j dependencies here -->

    <!-- javax.ws.rs dependency -->

    <!-- junit dependency -->

    <!-- JSON provider -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-media-json-jackson</artifactId>
        <version>2.22.1</version>
    </dependency>

</dependencies>

<build>
    <plugins>
        <!-- Compiler plugin -->
        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>

            <configuration>
                <source>1.7</source>
                <target>1.7</target>
                <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

        <!-- Maven Shade Plugin -->
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.4.2</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <phase>package</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>shade</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <artifactSet>
                            <!-- Exlude all the dependencies except jersey-media-json-jackson -->
                            <excludes>
                                <exclude>org.neo4j</exclude>
                                <exclude>org.neo4j.*</exclude>
                                <exclude>javax.ws.rs-api</exclude>
                                <exclude>junit</exclude>
                            </excludes>
                        </artifactSet>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>

    </plugins>
</build>

The Maven Shade plugin is used to include the JSON provider into the JAR file.
