Jackson deserialize GeoJson Point in Spring Boot

Question

I have a @Entity model that has a property of type com.vividsolutions.jts.geom.Point. When I try to render this model in a @RestController

Answer 1

Maybe you should tag your geometric attribute with @JsonSerialize and @JsonDeserialize. Like this:

import com.bedatadriven.jackson.datatype.jts.serialization.GeometryDeserializer;
import com.bedatadriven.jackson.datatype.jts.serialization.GeometrySerializer;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonDeserialize;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonSerialize;
import com.vividsolutions.jts.geom.Geometry;
import fr.info.groloc.entity.json.GreffeDeserializer;

import javax.persistence.Entity;

@Entity
public class Table
{
    @JsonSerialize(using = GeometrySerializer.class)
    @JsonDeserialize(contentUsing = GeometryDeserializer.class)
    private Geometry coord;
    // ...
}

If you are using Spring-Boot you only need for:

import com.bedatadriven.jackson.datatype.jts.JtsModule;
// ...
@Bean
public JtsModule jtsModule()
{
    return new JtsModule();
}

As Dave said you need to add this dependency to your pom.xml:

    com.bedatadriven
    jackson-datatype-jts
    2.4
