Implementations: Spring Boot

Framework version: SpringBoot 3.2.4

Frontend service: REST API

Deployment method: Serverless Framework

Scenario

Describe what you are trying to accomplish

Hello I am creating a lambda function for my service. when I try to call my post API with the json body from lambda test console it is not able to deserialize it into the object which is defined in my code

Expected behavior

Describe how you would expect the application to behave
When I pass the body as json input it should get deserialized and consumed in my spring boot application

Actual behavior

Describe what you are seeing instead
It is throwing java.lang.String from Object value

Steps to reproduce

*Provide code samples we can use to reproduce the issue as part of our integration tests. If there is a public repository for the misbehaving application link to it here

            e.printStackTrace();
            throw new RuntimeException("Could not initialize Spring Boot application", e);
        }
    }

    @Override
