I converted UUID to string (String id) and put the conversion inside a method.
I also declared other String variables such as FirstName etc and put in on an ArrayList:
Code
The code does work. But I'm confused why the string email was showing second on the list.
public class StudentController {
@Autowired
StudentService studentService = new StudentService();
@GetMapping
public List<Student> displayStudent(){
return studentService.getStudent();
}
}
public class StudentService {
Student student = new Student();
private List<Student> studentList = Arrays.asList(
new Student(student.genID(),"Elvis" , "Presley" ,"[email protected]")
);
public List<Student> getStudent(){
return studentList;
}
}
public class Student {
UUID uuid = UUID.randomUUID();
private String id;
private String FirstName;
private String LastName;
private String email;
public Student() {}
//Method Converting UUID into string
public String genID(){
id = uuid.toString();
return id;
}
public Student(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
public Student(String id, String firstName, String lastName, String email) {
this.id = id;
FirstName = firstName;
LastName = lastName;
this.email = email;
}
public String getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return FirstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
FirstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return LastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
LastName = lastName;
}
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
this.email = email;
}
}
Expected
I expected data to be in this order
ID , FirstName , LastName , email
Actual Output JSON
CodePudding user response：
JSON is an unordered collection, as specified on https://www.json.org/json-en.html , so you don't have to worry about it. It might depend on library though.
CodePudding user response：
Specify the serialized order of properties
The order of properties during serialization can be defined in Jackson.
Either at class-level specifically using annotation @JsonPropertyOrder.
Or globally for your ObjectMapper using a feature:
objectMapper.configure(MapperFeature.SORT_PROPERTIES_ALPHABETICALLY, true)
Example
In your case you can achieve expected order using the annotation on your class:
@JsonPropertyOrder({'id', 'firstName', 'lastName', 'email'})
public class Student {
// body of your class
}
Or separately with an index on your fields:
public class Student {
@JsonProperty(index=10)
private String id;
// not ordered specifically
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
@JsonProperty(index=20)
private String email;
// remainder of your class
}
