How can I have JAX-RS return a Java 8 LocalDateTime property as a JavaScript-style Date String?

Question

I created a RESTful web service using JAX-RS method annotations:

@GET
@Path(\"/test\")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public MyThing test()
{
    MyTh         


        

Answer 1

UPDATED: works with: 2.4.2

When I try the above:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.jsr310.ser.JSR310FormattedSerializerBase.findFormatOverrides(Lcom/fasterxml/jackson/databind/SerializerProvider;Lcom/fasterxml/jackson/databind/BeanProperty;Ljava/lang/Class;)Lcom/fasterxml/jackson/annotation/JsonFormat$Value;

I get the following error. Any ideas plse?

2.8.0

        
            com.fasterxml.jackson.core
            jackson-annotations
            ${jackson.version}
        
        
            com.fasterxml.jackson.core
            jackson-databind
            ${jackson.version}
        
        
            com.fasterxml.jackson.core
            jackson-core
            ${jackson.version}
        
        
            com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype
            jackson-datatype-jsr310
            ${jackson.version}

package com.jobs.spring.configuration;

import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.ext.ContextResolver;
import javax.ws.rs.ext.Provider;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.jsr310.JSR310Module;

@Provider
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public class JacksonContextResolver implements ContextResolver {
    private static final ObjectMapper om = init();

    @Override
    public ObjectMapper getContext(Class objectType) {
        return om;
    }

    private static ObjectMapper init() {
        ObjectMapper om = new ObjectMapper();
        om.registerModule(new JSR310Module());
        return om;
    }
}

Also tried with the following as JSR310Module() is deprecicated in 2.8.0

om.registerModule(new JavaTimeModule());
