implementing Java 11 Spring Boot Application Handling Large JSON Payloads and Timeouts
I recently switched to I keep running into I'm stuck trying to I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer... I'm currently experiencing a timeout scenario with a Spring Boot application built on Java 11 when processing large JSON payloads. The application is set up to accept a JSON object that can be up to 10MB in size, but when I send a request with a payload close to that limit, I encounter a `ReadTimeoutException`. I've tried increasing the timeout settings in my `application.properties` file using: ```properties spring.http.timeout.read=5000 spring.http.timeout.connect=5000 ``` However, it doesn't seem to resolve the scenario, as I still get the timeout after about 5 seconds. I also adjusted the server settings in my `application.yml`: ```yaml server: port: 8080 connection-timeout: 10000 ``` This is a sample of the controller handling the request: ```java @RestController @RequestMapping("/api/data") public class DataController { @PostMapping public ResponseEntity<String> processData(@RequestBody LargeDataObject data) { // Processing logic here return ResponseEntity.ok("Data processed successfully"); } } ``` The `LargeDataObject` is a POJO that contains several nested objects, and I've ensured it has proper getters and setters. After analyzing the logs, I suspect the scenario might also be related to Jackson serialization/deserialization taking too long due to the size of the object. I've tried using the `@JsonIgnoreProperties` annotation to ignore non-essential fields, but it still leads to timeouts. Is there a better way to handle large JSON payloads in Spring Boot, or am I missing some configuration that could help alleviate this question? Any insights on best practices for optimizing the request handling would be greatly appreciated. I'm working on a API that needs to handle this. Am I missing something obvious? I'm coming from a different tech stack and learning Java. What are your experiences with this? Has anyone dealt with something similar? My development environment is Ubuntu 22.04. What's the correct way to implement this?
