[BUG] [JAVA | CLIENT Generator | Spring Boot] RestTemplate client incompatibility between JsonDeserializer and ThreeTenDateTimeDeserializerBase

Created by: delitahub

Description

I have a Spring boot service that needs to make a call to another Spring boot service. Tried generating a RestTemplate client with the java generator to be used within the first spring boot service. However, among the client classes that are generated the CustomInstantDeserializer can't compile due to an incompatibility between com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonDeserializer and com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.threetenbp.deser.ThreeTenDateTimeDeserializerBase.

openapi-generator version

openapi-generator-maven-plugin 4.2.3

Generated client within project that had spring boot dependencies: spring-boot-starter-parent 2.2.4.RELEASE spring-boot-starter-web 2.2.4.RELEASE org.openapitools.jackson-databind-nullable 0.2.1 org.openapitools.openapi-generator 4.2.3

Steps to reproduce

Use the maven plugin to generate the RestTemplate client from the yml. This will create client classes including the CustomInstantDeserializer.java. On compilation an error will be thrown saying the following message:

[ERROR] /src/gen/java/main/com/store/pets/CustomInstantDeserializer.java:[31,8] com.store.pets.CustomInstantDeserializer is not abstract and does not override abstract method withLeniency(java.lang.Boolean) in com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.threetenbp.deser.ThreeTenDateTimeDeserializerBase [ERROR] /target/generated-sources/openapi/src/gen/java/main/com/store/pets/CustomInstantDeserializer.java:[150,33] withDateFormat(org.threeten.bp.format.DateTimeFormatter) in com.store.pets.CustomInstantDeserializer cannot override withDateFormat(org.threeten.bp.format.DateTimeFormatter) in com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.threetenbp.deser.ThreeTenDateTimeDeserializerBase [ERROR] return type com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonDeserializer is not compatible with com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.threetenbp.deser.ThreeTenDateTimeDeserializerBase [ERROR] /target/generated-sources/openapi/src/gen/java/main/com/store/pets/CustomInstantDeserializer.java:[149,3] method does not override or implement a method from a supertype

Suggest a fix

As a workaround, one can specify a dateLibrary explicitly in the configOptions, and the code will generate and compile.

<dateLibrary>joda</dateLibrary> or <dateLibrary>java8</dateLibrary>
