Spring RestController ignoring #jsonProperty/JsonGetter/JsonSetter - jackson

Question

I am using Springboot 2.1.2.RELEASE. I have a get request with an object as input parameter. Expecting the attributes in my class to be request parameters. My EmployeeBean has properties in java naming convention. But I need the custom names to request parameters. Tried to achieve that using #JsonProperty/ #Jsongetter/ #JsonSetter annotations but its not working. Am I missing something?
#RequestMapping(value="/api", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE )
public List<Map<String, Object>> getEmployeeData(EmployeeBean employeeBean
#Data
public class EmployeeBean implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -2757478480787308113L;
#JsonProperty(value="first_name")
private String firstName;
#JsonProperty(value="last_name")
private String lastName;

Answer 1

Try this,
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
#JsonProperty(value="first_name")
public void setFirst_name(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
#JsonProperty(value="last_name")
public void setLast_name(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
controller
#RestController
public class JsonController {
#RequestMapping(value="/api", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE )
public List<Map<String, Object>> getEmployeeData(EmployeeBean employeeBean) {
System.out.println("employeeBean: "+employeeBean);
return null;
}
}
result:
employeeBean: EmployeeBean [firstName=firstName10, lastName=lastName20]
I've tested and it's worked
other options, using JsonCreator in constructor:
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
#JsonCreator
public EmployeeBean(#JsonProperty("first_name") String first_name, #JsonProperty("last_name") String last_name) {
this.firstName = first_name;
this.lastName = last_name;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
