Document Webhook Object Deserialization in Migration Guide

In v7 the charge object (assuming I’ve check that the event type should have a charge object) in a webook could be obtained via.

Event event = Webhook.constructEvent(payload, signature, secret);
Charge charge = (Charge) event.getData().getObject();

The getObject however is now deprecated. It would appear that the correct call is now

 Charge charge = (Charge) event.getDataObjectDeserializer().getObject();

This should be documented in the migration guide as well as I don’t see a test deserializing an object from a webhook. It would be helpful if there was a test that constructed the webhook Event from signature and payload. Checked the event type and then deserialized it.

Event event = Webhook.constructEvent(payload, signature, secret);
if (event.getType().equals(STRIPE_EVENT_CHARGE_SUCCEEDED)) {
   Charge charge = (Charge) event.getDataObjectDeserializer().getObject();
   doSomething(charge);
}

hi @codylerum! 8.0.2 is released, adding the test and java doc to reflect migration guide–also updated. (8.0.1 is an accidental release with no actual change) I’m closing this issue now, but please let me know if i’m still missing something else in this major version release. Thank you again for your contribution 😃

Glad to hear that you were able to able upgrade to v8 successfully! And thank you for the feedback so far.

I made 2 PRs, cc you both, to add documentations to both source code and the migration update guide, and also a test on Event class itself instead of Webhook for the reason that event class also supports retrieving from /v1/events endpoint as well.
