Can not construct instance of com.stripe.model.StripeObject

[mjain1990]

I am using spring boot with jackson. I am trying to configure a webhook resource and expecting Event Object as request body. But when I get a webhook call my resource reject that request with 400 because jackson is not able to bind it. What it says is

Can not construct instance of com.stripe.model.StripeObject: abstract types either need to be mapped to concrete types, have custom deserializer, or contain additional type information
 at [Source: org.glassfish.jersey.message.internal.ReaderInterceptorExecutor$UnCloseableInputStream@626f4396; line: 7, column: 15] (through reference chain: com.stripe.model.Event["data"]->com.stripe.model.EventData["object"])

I searched for its solution and it says to add JsonTypeInfo on StripeObject. I don't want to create a another class in my own project for the same. Is there something which I am missing?

Hi @mjain1990. stripe-java uses Gson as its JSON library, not Jackson.

You can deserialize JSON payloads into Event objects using the Webhook.constructEvent() method, which will also let you verify webhook signatures. You can find more information here: https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks/signatures#verify-official-libraries.
