Spring MVC: ModelAndViewContainer: View is [null]; default model{Some-Object}

问题

I am using Spring-mvc with ContentNegotiatingViewResolver for handle my response objects and parse into a specific format. When i return the object from controller, in response it add my response object but also add the object which i used to map the request parameter. My controller is act as rest controller. Because i want to create rest-services using spring with ContentNegotiatingViewResolver. After debugging, i found InvocableHandlerMethdod class in which invokeForRequest method contain following argument:

public final Object invokeForRequest(NativeWebRequest request, ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer,
        Object... providedArgs) throws Exception {
  ...............................................

In ModelAndViewContainer argument contain following detail:

ModelAndViewContainer: View is [null]; default model {oauthClientDetail=com.netsol.entities.OauthClientDetail@9ac35e, org.springframework.validation.BindingResult.oauthClientDetail=org.springframework.validation.BeanPropertyBindingResult: 0 errors}

I am not able to figure, why OauthClientDetail object set in ModelAndViewContainer and how i prevent this.

Follwing is my controller code:

@RequestMapping(value = "/changePassword", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ApiResponse<UserDetail> changePassword(@Valid OauthClientDetail clientDetail,
        BindingResult bindingResult,
        @RequestParam(value = "password", required = true) String password) {
    logger.info("In changePassword Service...... ");

    if(bindingResult.hasErrors()){
        throw new InvalidRequestException("Error", bindingResult);
    }

    UserDetail detail = userService.changeUserPassword(password, clientDetail, encoder);
    ApiResponse<UserDetail> response = new ApiResponse<UserDetail>();
    if(detail != null){
        response.setErrorCode(CommonUtility.API_RESPONSE_STATUS.SUCCESS.getValue());
        response.setErrorMessage(CommonUtility.API_RESPONSE_STATUS.SUCCESS.getMessage());
        response.setResponse(detail);
    }else{
        response.setErrorCode(CommonUtility.API_RESPONSE_STATUS.FAIL.getValue());
        response.setErrorMessage(CommonUtility.API_RESPONSE_STATUS.FAIL.getMessage());
        response.setResponse(null);
    }
    return response; 
}

My request from chrome postman client:

POST /empirecl-api/api/changePassword HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080
Authorization: Bearer b3f46274-b019-4d7b-a3bd-5c19e9660c2f
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

clientId=my-client-with-secret&clientSecret=12345678&clientSecretConfirm=12345678&password=12345678

My Response is:

{
"oauthClientDetail": {
    "userId": null,
    "clientId": "my-client-with-secret",
    "additionalInformation": null,
    "authorities": null,
    "authorizedGrantTypes": null,
    "autoapprove": null,
    "clientSecret": "12345678",
    "clientSecretConfirm": "12345678",
    "resourceIds": null,
    "scope": null,
    "webServerRedirectUri": null,
    "createdOn": null,
    "updatedOn": null,
    "active": null,
    "lastLogin": null
},
"apiResponse": {
    "errorCode": 0,
    "errorMessage": "Success",
    "response": {
        "userName": "my-client-with-secret",
        "dateCreated": null,
        "dateUpdated": null,
        "active": "true"
    }
}
}

In response the oauthClientDetail object contain values that, i send with request and map into the object. From this, i assume that, my map object is set in the response. How i prevent this object to set in the response.

回答1:

I found the Solution from this MappingJacksonJsonView return top-level json object link. Need to add @ResponseBody annotation in controller and set produces={"application/json"}. Follwoing is my new code:

 @RequestMapping(value = "/changePassword", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces={"application/json"})
public @ResponseBody ApiResponse<UserDetail> changePassword(@Valid OauthClientDetail clientDetail,
        BindingResult bindingResult,
        @RequestParam(value = "password", required = true) String password) {
    logger.info("In changePassword Service...... ");

    if(bindingResult.hasErrors()){
        throw new InvalidRequestException("Error", bindingResult);
    }

    UserDetail detail = userService.changeUserPassword(password, clientDetail, encoder);
    ApiResponse<UserDetail> response = new ApiResponse<UserDetail>();
    if(detail != null){
        response.setSuccess(CommonUtility.API_RESPONSE_STATUS.SUCCESS.getValue());
        response.setMessage(CommonUtility.API_RESPONSE_STATUS.SUCCESS.getMessage());
        response.setResponse(detail);
    }else{
        response.setSuccess(CommonUtility.API_RESPONSE_STATUS.FAIL.getValue());
        response.setMessage(CommonUtility.API_RESPONSE_STATUS.FAIL.getMessage());
        response.setResponse(null);
    }
    return response; 
}
