com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException：无法构造实例：poja class 找不到合适的构造函数

Question

This is the POJO class of ApiError. I am trying to convert string into the following class. I am passing {"message": "success", "code":"403"} string to convertToObject method.

package com.wrapper.reply;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnoreProperties;
import lombok.Builder;
import lombok.Getter;
import lombok.RequiredArgsConstructor;
@Getter
@Builder
@RequiredArgsConstructor
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public final class ApiError {
  private final String code;
  private final String message;
}



public static <T> T convertToObject(String body, Class<T> clazz) {
    try {
      ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
      return mapper.readValue(body, clazz);
    } catch (IOException e) {
      log.error(ERRMSG_PARSE_JSON, e);
      throw new BadRequestException(ERRMSG_PARSE_JSON, e);
    }
  }

But I am getting the following error while trying to do it.

Update : Seems like Jackson by default tries to set values after creating the object instance which is not possible if class has final fields.

So, we need to define a constructor and annotate with @JsonCreator to tell Jackson to use constructor to deserialize.

@Getter
@Builder
//@RequiredArgsConstructor
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
class ApiError {
    private final String code;
    private final String message;

    @JsonCreator
    public ApiError(@JsonProperty("code") String code, @JsonProperty("message") String message) {
        this.code = code;
        this.message = message;
    }
}

Jackson is not able to find a way to instantiate ApiError object and set values to it.

You need to do any one of the following changes to ApiError class.

1. Annotate with @JsonPOJOBuilder(withPrefix = "")
2. Add setter methods (or lombok @Setter )
3. Add paramterized constructor (or lombok @AllArgsConstructor )

Answer 2

missing default constructor or creator

@NoArgsConstructor
