I am having a problem converting input String to money. I am creating a spring boot application with thymeleaf. I have a web page where user inputs the data and there is a particular field where he inputs the String and it needs to be converted to type joda.money as in my pojo class that field has money data type. This is a full governor_form.html:

JavaScript
<div class="form-group row"> <label class="col-sm-4 col-form-label">Per Capita Income</label> <div class="col-sm-8"> <input type="number" step="0.01" th:field="*{perCapitaIncome}" class="form-control" required> </div></div>So if i’m not mistaken Hibernate is having a problem converting a String input from thymeleaf to type money as I get the following error:
JavaScript

How do I convert String to Money?

Answer
One solution would be to create custom deserilizer for Money field, and then use Jackson to set it.
Here is code snippet:
MoneyDeserializer.java :
JavaScript
public class MoneyDeserializer extends StdDeserializer<BigMoney> { private static final long serialVersionUID = 2518470236548239933L; public MoneyDeserializer() { super(Money.class); } @Override public BigMoney deserialize(final JsonParser jp, final DeserializationContext ctxt) throws IOException, JsonProcessingException { return BigMoney.of(CurrencyUnit.USD, jp.readValueAs(Double.class)); }}Governor.java
JavaScript
import com.example.demo.filter.MoneyDeserializer;import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonDeserialize;import org.joda.money.BigMoney;import org.joda.money.Money;import java.io.Serializable;public class Governor implements Serializable { private Integer idGovernor; private String fullName; private Integer age; private String position; private java.sql.Date dateOfIntercession; private java.sql.Date dateOfResignation; private BigMoney perCapitaIncome; private Integer populationBelowPoverty; public Integer getIdGovernor() { return this.idGovernor; } public void setIdGovernor(Integer idGovernor) { this.idGovernor = idGovernor; } public String getFullName() { return this.fullName; } public void setFullName(String fullName) {this.fullName = fullName;} public Integer getAge() { return this.age; } public void setAge(Integer age) { this.age = age; } public String getPosition() { return this.position; } public void setPosition(String position) { this.position = position; } public java.sql.Date getDateOfIntercession() { return this.dateOfIntercession; } public void setDateOfIntercession(java.sql.Date dateOfIntercession) { this.dateOfIntercession = dateOfIntercession; } public java.sql.Date getDateOfResignation() { return this.dateOfResignation; } public void setDateOfResignation(java.sql.Date dateOfResignation) { this.dateOfResignation = dateOfResignation; } public BigMoney getPerCapitaIncome() { return this.perCapitaIncome; } @JsonDeserialize(using = MoneyDeserializer.class) public void setPerCapitaIncome(BigMoney perCapitaIncome) { this.perCapitaIncome = perCapitaIncome; } public Integer getPopulationBelowPoverty() { return this.populationBelowPoverty; } public void setPopulationBelowPoverty(Integer populationBelowPoverty) { this.populationBelowPoverty = populationBelowPoverty; } @Override public String toString() { return "Governor{" + "idGovernor=" + idGovernor + ", fullName='" + fullName + ''' + ", age=" + age + ", position='" + position + ''' + ", dateOfIntercession=" + dateOfIntercession + ", dateOfResignation=" + dateOfResignation + ", perCapitaIncome=" + perCapitaIncome + ", populationBelowPoverty=" + populationBelowPoverty + '}'; }}NOTE: On your form, you are passing age field as Double, but in your class it’s declared as Integer. So you will get exception during deserilization process.
Same thing applys for populationBelowPoverty field . Also, your date format is dd/MM/YYYY and I think this is not supported format for jackson. It should be YYYY-MM-dd.
Anyway, for example, if you send a JSON like this:
JavaScript
{ "idGovernor":1, "fullName":"Test", "age":1, "dateOfIntercession":"2022-06-09", "dateOfResignation":"2022-06-17", "perCapitaIncome":"123.932", "position":"position", "populationBelowPoverty":"98"}to this controller method:
JavaScript
@PostMapping(value = "/test/governor") public Governor testGovernor(@RequestBody Governor governor) { return governor; }You should get response like this :
JavaScript
{ "idGovernor": 1, "fullName": "Test", "age": 1, "position": "position", "dateOfIntercession": "2022-06-09", "dateOfResignation": "2022-06-17", "perCapitaIncome": { "amount": 123.932, "zero": false, "negative": false, "positive": true, "amountMajorLong": 123, "negativeOrZero": false, "amountMinorLong": 12393, "amountMinor": 12393, "positiveOrZero": true, "minorPart": 93, "scale": 3, "amountMinorInt": 12393, "currencyUnit": { "code": "USD", "numericCode": 840, "decimalPlaces": 2, "symbol": "$", "numeric3Code": "840", "countryCodes": [ "PR", "MP", "IO", "FM", "PW", "GU", "BQ", "TC", "VG", "AS", "VI", "TL", "UM", "MH", "EC", "US" ], "pseudoCurrency": false }, "currencyScale": false, "amountMajorInt": 123, "amountMajor": 123 }, "populationBelowPoverty": 98}In your case, since you are using thymeleaf you can adjust this idea to your needs.
