ZonedDateTime can't be deserialized

I’m using spring boot 2.2.5 and I tried to deserialized ZonedDateTime provided by AWS SQS and got the same exception.

the date format I got from amazon as 2020-03-23T09:21:00.353Z

and the exception Could not read JSON: Cannot construct instance of `java.time.ZonedDateTime` (no Creators, like default construct, exist): no String-argument constructor/factory method to deserialize from String value ('2020-03-23T09:21:00.353Z')

I explicitly make jackson as 2.9

I can narrow it more, I’m using the default ObjectMapper. I tried to customized and register JavaTimeModule but no difference. I can point that I’m using spring-coud-aws for this purpose to consume the message in SQS queue I’m not sure whether spring using a different way of deserializers for this module.

regarding the version jackson I reverted to 2.10 and still the same issue

I raise to spring-cloud-aws team and let see their response.

Thanks

Ok, that helps narrow it, I suppose this issue can be closed? (Not sure what I was thinking on the array unwrapping, I see in the example that it is not an array.)

Though it would still be interesting to know why it doesn’t work out of the box for Spring Boot. Maybe a config issue with the way Spring is registering the Java time module? One possibility - are you using your own mapper or the default mapper?

If you are using the default ObjectMapper the handling of Java 8 date is picked up automatically by Spring Boot. However, if you have defined your own ObjectMapper you might need to register the module.

Now, a bit more about the registration - mabujaber mentioned explicitly using 2.9, and I see from the documentation the following:

Also note that before Jackson 2.10, auto-registration will only register older JSR310Module, and not newer JavaTimeModule – this is due to backwards compatibility. This is changed in Jackson 2.10.
