Map Json Property With Period To Class Property in Spring Controller

Question

I have a json object being sent to a controller that maps to a class model. The json contains the property below

"Event.GradeBook.GradeEvent": {  }

How can I represent this in a class model where it will map correctly?

String Event_Gradebook_GradeEvent;

Sent how to your controller? As a `application/json` body? Let's see your handler method. — Sotirios Delimanolis, Dec 17 '13 at 23:16

Assuming you are using Spring's default Jackson deserialization, all you need to do is annotate your field with @JsonProperty.

@JsonProperty(value = "Event.GradeBook.GradeEvent")
private String Event_Gradebook_GradeEvent;

But you should really follow Java's naming conventions.

That worked, yes my property name isnt like that but I wanted to give a visual on what I thought might be the correct answer. – Mike Flynn Dec 18 '13 at 16:15
