I have a question regarding how Jackson deserializes a List.
I searched online before writing this question but I didn't find anything (probably I didn't find anything because in reality I wouldn't know exactly what to look for)...
I have this json
{
"list": [
{"name": "Paul"},
{"name": "Charles"}
]
}
and I have this classes
public class OuterClass {
private List<InnerClass> list;
// Getters and Setters
}
public class InnerClass {
private int prog;
private String name;
// Getters and Setters
}
I can deserialize the json with the statement
OuterClass outerClass = new ObjectMapper().readValue(json, OuterClass.class);
achieving this result
OuterClass [list=[InnerClass [prog=0, name=Paul], InnerClass [prog=0, name=Charles]]]
Obviously the prog property of the InnerClass class is not valued (since it is not present in the json). What I would need is, in some way, to set prog with a progressive. That is, get this
OuterClass [list=[InnerClass [prog=1, name=Paul], InnerClass [prog=2, name=Charles]]]
Thanks in advance
