Hi!

 

As you can read in this post: https://liferay.dev/forums/-/message_boards/message/114099952, Liferay can't create structures through the JSONWS API due to a bug in the Jodd Json library. In fact, Liferay is not able to create any object that depends on the LocalizedValue class for this reason.

 

Upgrading Jodd to version 3.6.8 fixes this issue

 

Steps to reproduce: 

• Try to create a localized structure through the JSONWS --> It fails.

Steps to reproduce:

• Obtain from database the classNameId for a JournalArticle

  SELECT classNameId FROM ClassName_ WHERE value="com.liferay.journal.model.JournalArticle"
  

• Obtain from database the guest groupid:

  SELECT groupId FROM Group_ WHERE groupKey="Guest"
  

• Execute the following curl command, you must replace the groupId and classNameId with the obtained codes from the previous steps, and take into account that structureKey is unique

curl http://localhost:8080/api/jsonws/ddm.ddmstructure/add-structure \
  -u [e-mail]:test \
  -d groupId=20124 \
  -d parentStructureKey=0 \
  -d classNameId=20401\
  -d structureKey='MY_KEY' \
  -d nameMap=%7B%22sv_SE%22%3A%22Description%20in%20Swedish%22%2C%22en_US%22%3A%22Description%20in%20English%22%7D \

Actual Result

Error response on terminal:

  
{"exception":"java.util.Set; <--- java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: java.util.Set.<init>()","throwable":"jodd.json.JsonException: java.util.Set; <--- java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: java.util.Set.<init>()","rootCause":{"message":"java.util.Set.<init>()","type":"java.lang.NoSuchMethodException"},"error":{"message":"java.util.Set; <--- java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: java.util.Set.<init>()","type":"jodd.json.JsonException"}}

Error in logs:

  ERROR [http-nio-8080-exec-4][JSONWebServiceServiceAction:114] java.util.Set; <--- java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: java.util.Set.<init>()

Expected result:
The response in the terminal must be an error-free JSON, and the created structure must be displayed at: Content & Data -> Web Context -> Structures
