Mapping Java objects to Jackson JSON is pretty simple. But if you name a JSON field wrong, you'll get the "Unrecognized field ... (Class ...), not marked as ignorable" error. The rule for mapping a Java bean attribute name to a JSON field name is: lower all leading capital letters until the first lower case letter . For example, this Java class: package com.example; public class Person { ... maps to this JSON string: { "firstName": "Jane", "lastName": "... Test code: package com.example; import java.net.URL; ...

You can customize Tomcat error page with error code: <error-page> <error-code>404</error-code> ... or Java exception type: <error-page> <exception-type>java.lang.Throwab... Either error-code or exception-type is required, but not both. There's no way to aggregate error codes, such as: <!-- This does not work! --> <error-page> ... Customizing error pages is about the only way to suppress the default stack trace in Tomcat in case of an unhandled exception.

Just a reminder that I got this error when I set the Java system property javax.net.ssl.trustStore to a non-existing file (typo). The full error message when running Maven was: [ERROR] java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected e...

Maven is a powerful yet complex tool. When I started learning Maven, the first obstacle was, of course, its complexity. The second, was the lack of documentation that can get me off the ground quickly. This tutorial is an attempt to create a pragmatic guide that aims to get you familiar with Maven in the quickest way possible. The main theme is to get you on some hands on experience to start out and lead you through the creation of a simple Java EE project as quickly as possible. Instead of trying to give you a good read, I try to get you on the journey right away. The topics are roughly ordered by the logical sequence but you can jump around in any way...

The domain object is annotated @Entity , but Java runtime complains that it's not an entity class. Cause: : class not listed in persistence.xml , or persistence.xml misplaced, or multiple persistence.xml files existed.
