如何使用Jackson和spring-boot将简单的Kotlin数据类映射到json /从json映射

Question

I cannot read a simple kotlin data class from a json string. Writing to json works fine, but when reading from json:

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.MismatchedInputException: Cannot construct instance of `my.package.Pojo` (although at least one Creator exists): cannot deserialize from Object value (no delegate- or property-based Creator)

I am using spring-boot 2.1.5:

A simple junit test to recreate the exception:

package my.package;

import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertAll;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.DisplayName;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;

@SpringBootTest(classes = MyApp.class)
public class DtoMapperTest {

  @Autowired
  private ObjectMapper objectMapper;

  @Test
  @DisplayName("should map to/from json")
  void shouldMapJson() throws IOException {
    String json = objectMapper.writeValueAsString(new Pojo("1"));

    assertThat(json).contains("\"id\":\"1\"");

    Pojo fromJson = objectMapper.readValue(json, Pojo.class);

    assertThat(fromJson).isEqualTo(new Pojo("1"));
  }
}

My kotlin Pojo:

data class Pojo(
        var id: String,
        var anObject: AnotherPojo?
) {
    constructor(ident: String) : this(ident, null)

// some business logic...
}

The exception:

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.MismatchedInputException: Cannot construct instance of `my.package.Pojo` (although at least one Creator exists): cannot deserialize from Object value (no delegate- or property-based Creator)

Answer 1

this is a newbie error in the Kotlin department...

all my other pojos have nullable fields and do not need a no-arg constructor for deserialisation... The id of my pojo is a String (not-nullable in Kotlin) which is to say that you need a no-arg constructor which set the field to an empty string...
