How to Receive Webhook from Stripe in Java
Here's what I did:
The Java method still takes in the Event as a json String. Then I used Stripe's custom gson adapter and got the Event with:
Event event = Event.gson.fromJson(stripeJsonEvent, Event.class);
Where stripeJsonEvent is the string of json taken in by the webhook endpoint.
I have been looking for the same answer, so after looking at their own code, here is how they actually do it:
String rawJson = IOUtils.toString(request.getInputStream());
Event event = APIResource.GSON.fromJson(rawJson, Event.class);
APIResource comes from their library (I am using 1.6.5)
public String stripeWebhookEndpoint(@RequestBody String json, HttpServletRequest request) {
String header = request.getHeader("Stripe-Signature");
String endpointSecret = "your stripe webhook secret";
try {
event = Webhook.constructEvent(json, header, endpointSecret);
System.err.println(event);
} catch (SignatureVerificationException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
//
enter code here
return "";
}
