Delayed SMS with Message.setScheduledDatetime() does not work

[madness-inc]

StackTrace:
com.messagebird.exceptions.GeneralException: Failed to retrieve data from MessageBird service with response code 422 at com.messagebird.MessageBirdServiceImpl.getJsonData(MessageBirdServiceImpl.java:140) at com.messagebird.MessageBirdServiceImpl.sendPayLoad(MessageBirdServiceImpl.java:107) at com.messagebird.MessageBirdClient.sendMessage(MessageBirdClient.java:110)

ErrorReport{code=10, description='The scheduledDatetime is not in a valid format (Y-m-d\TH:i:sP).', parameter='scheduledDatetime'}

The reason is that the scheduledDatetime is not properly transformed to JSON in MessageBirdServiceImpl.getConnection()

This could easily be solved by upgrading to Jackson 2 and using

@JsonFormat(shape = Shape.STRING, pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXXX")
public Date getScheduledDatetime() {
	return scheduledDatetime;
}

in Message.java

Alternative:

DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXXX");
mapper.setDateFormat(df);

Hi @madness-inc,

Thanks for opening an issue. Our team will review the issue and get back to you with a solution as soon as we can. In the meantime, for our reference, could you tell us what version of Java you're using?

Hi Sam,
glad to hear from you!
I'm using Java 8, but his is not a Java issue. It's a Jackson Mapping issue.
As there is no standard way of mapping a java.util.Date into JSON format, we need to tell the Jackson Mapper how to do this. Both of my suggested solutions are suitable for that, although I personally would prefer the Jackson 2 solution.

Regards
Matthias
