While trying to integrate the Hyperledger fabric SDK with the Spring boot getting the following error

Question

I am trying to integrate the Hyperledger fabric SDK into the Spring boot, while I run the application I am facing the following error,

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: null

Following is the rest controller code,

   @RequestMapping(value = "/hello/createperson",method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String getPerson() throws IOException {
        Gateway.Builder builder = Gateway.createBuilder();

        try {
            // A wallet stores a collection of identities
            Path walletPath = Paths.get("/home/Fabric-samples_1.4/fabric-samples/commercial-paper/organization/magnetocorp/identity/user/isabella/wallet");
            Wallet wallet = Wallet.createFileSystemWallet(walletPath);

            String userName = "User1@org1.example.com";

            Path connectionProfile = Paths.get("/home/Fabric-samples_1.4/fabric-samples/commercial-paper/organization/magnetocorp/gateway/networkConnection.yaml");

            // Set connection options on the gateway builder
            builder.identity(wallet, userName).networkConfig(connectionProfile).discovery(false);

            // Connect to gateway using application specified parameters
            try(Gateway gateway = builder.connect()) {

                // Access PaperNet network
                System.out.println("Use network channel: mychannel.");
                Network network = gateway.getNetwork("mychannel");

                // Get addressability to commercial paper contract
                System.out.println("Use org.papernet.commercialpaper smart contract.");
                Contract contract = network.getContract("person", "org.go.smartcontract");

                // Issue commercial paper
                System.out.println("Submit commercial paper issue transaction.");
                byte[] response = contract.submitTransaction("createCar", "go", "Hello", "2020-05-31");

                // Process response
                System.out.println("Process issue transaction response.");
//                CommercialPaper paper = CommercialPaper.deserialize(response);
//                System.out.println(paper);
            } catch (TimeoutException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (ContractException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } catch (InterruptedException | IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            System.exit(-1);
        }
        return "created";
    }

When I tried to debug the issue is occurring in the following class, the service loader returns an object when I run in the spring boot, but when I try without spring boot, service loader does not return any object and this line gets executed

Class<?> clazz = Class.forName("org.glassfish.json.JsonProviderImpl");

in the following class.

Answer 1

What helped me was to remove genson from my pom and replace it with com.fasterxml.jackson

Answer 2

The issues were with the service loader, I had to mention the proper class it should load in the META_INF/Services/ the file should contain the class that should be loaded.
