Java 8 date/time type java.time.LocalDateTime not supported by default

[esfomeado]

Describe the bug
I have upgrade Jackson from 2.11.4 to 2.12.3 and not I get this exception:

Java 8 date/time type java.time.LocalDateTime not supported by default: add Module "com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype:jackson-datatype-jsr310" to enable handling

Now I have to explicitly register the JavaTimeModule(). Is there any behavior change?

Thanks

Version information
2.12.3

To Reproduce
https://github.com/esfomeado/jackson-test

Java 8

Expected behavior
Should work the same way has the previous version.

Additional context
Spring Boot 2.5

This is intentional, see #2683: Java 8 date/time values should NOT be serialized as POJOs by default because that representation has caused lots of issues -- it cannot be read back.

[esfomeado]

Just saw as well your comment on #3091.
That should fix my problem if it goes on 2.13.

Thanks

[cowtowncoder]

@esfomeado Ah, yes. Did the code sample use convertValue()? One thing #3091 could use is actual reproduction of the issue (wrt convertValue() or use with JsonNode)... to verify that fix works.

Hey, nice chit-chat between you two, but how to fix this one after all? I've added the dependency to POM as was required, but still it's not working!

ObjectMapper.registerModule.....

Thanks, found this one already.

ObjectMapper.registerModule.....

I dont understand why but it is not working for me!!

@gautamkumargojoko were you able to solve this?

after adding this to Config file

 @Bean
  public MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter mappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter() {
    Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder builder =
        new Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder()
            .featuresToDisable(SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS)
            .serializers(
                new LocalDateTimeSerializer(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ")))
            .serializationInclusion(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL);
    return new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter(builder.build());
  }

and added these annotations :

  @JsonSerialize(using = LocalDateTimeSerializer.class)
  @JsonDeserialize(using = LocalDateTimeDeserializer.class)
  @JsonFormat(pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING)
  private LocalDateTime createdAt;

then it worked for me

[cowtowncoder]

It should NOT be necessary -- and I would recommend against -- add @JsonSerialize / @JsonDeserialize settings.
Instead the DateTimeModule should be registered, to avoid having to do that.

I had tried but unfortunately it did not work for me !! @cowtowncoder

Is there any follow-up above? I also upgraded to version 2.13 and proactively registered:

@Configuration
Public class JacksonConfig{
 @Bean
 Public objectMapper objectMapper(){
  ObjectMapper objectMapper = new Object Mapper();
  objectMapper.registerModule(new JavaTimeModule());
  return objectMapper;
 }
}

But it still doesn't work and throws an exception:

Com. fasterxml. jackson. databind. exc. InvalidDefinitionException: Java 8 date/time type ` Java. time LocalDateTime ` not supported by default: add Module "com. fasterXML. jackson. datatype: jackson datatype jsr310" to enable handling (through reference chain: java. util. HashMap ["cacheTime"])

[JooHyukKim]

It should work with Java8 module registered. Try checking ur Spring configuration/bean settings. Or try de/serializing directly in 'objectMapper()' method.

@zhaishudong This sounds like a Spring configuration problem: Jackson cannot really do anything there. You may want to ask on Spring support forums.
