The problem of deserializing from XML to POJO using Jackson: there is no constructor of string constructors / factory to deserialize from String value

I have an XML document that I need to convert (deserialize) to Java POJO. I cannot change the structure of an XML document. I am using Java 8 and the Jackson framework for matching. Gradle :

dependencies { compile('com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat:jackson-dataformat-xml') compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-freemarker') compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web') providedRuntime('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat') testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test') } 

Wrapper XML Doc:

 @JacksonXmlRootElement(localName = "rates_response") public class RatesResponse implements Serializable{ private static final long serialVersionUID = 3254688495454519L; @JacksonXmlProperty(isAttribute = true) private String b_number = ""; @JacksonXmlProperty(isAttribute = true) private String l_premium = ""; @JacksonXmlProperty(isAttribute = true) private String currency = ""; @XmlElement(required = false) @JacksonXmlProperty private String c_b_relationship = null; @JacksonXmlProperty(isAttribute = true) private String n_of_p_loans = null; /* * Key: status_code * Key: status_explanation */ @JacksonXmlElementWrapper private Map<String, String> message_status = null; // @XmlElement @JacksonXmlElementWrapper(useWrapping = false) private List<RateDetails> rate_details = null; public RatesResponse(){} //GETTERS/SETTERS Child document (`List<RateDetails> rate_details = null;`): @JacksonXmlRootElement(localName = "rate_details") public class RateDetails implements Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = 324564684815158619L; @JacksonXmlProperty private String r_reference = null; @JacksonXmlProperty private String n_of_p_days = null; @JacksonXmlProperty private String n_of_instalments = null; @JacksonXmlProperty private String n_rate = null; @JacksonXmlProperty private String p_p_available = null; @XmlElement(required = false) @JacksonXmlProperty private String i_overrider = null;//not always appears in doc @JacksonXmlProperty private String a_fee = null; @JacksonXmlProperty private String m_fee = null; @JacksonXmlProperty private String t_fees = null; @JacksonXmlProperty private String t_c_for_credit = null; @JacksonXmlProperty private String d_amount = null; @JacksonXmlProperty private String apr = null; public RateDetails(){} //GETTERS/SETTERS 

XML document for analysis:

 <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE rates_response SYSTEM "p_f_interface.dtd"> <rates_response b_number="KK5000000000" l_premium="5000.00" currency="GBP" > <message_status> <status_code>1000</status_code> <status_explanation>Success</status_explanation> </message_status> <c_b_relationship n_of_p_loans="0"/> <rate_details> <r_reference>AS28</r_reference> <n_of_p_days>28</n_of_p_days> <n_of_instalments>12</n_of_instalments> <n_rate>7.00</n_rate> <p_p_available>NO</p_p_available> <i_overrider>3.65</i_overrider> <a_fee>0.00</a_fee> <m_fee>0.00</m_fee> <t_fees>0.00</t_fees> <t_c_for_credit>350.00</t_c_for_credit> <d_amount>0.00</d_amount> <apr>16.05</apr> </rate_details> </rates_response> 

A method that parses a document:

 private RatesResponse readRatesDoc() { RatesResponse xmlContainer = null; ObjectMapper xmlMapper = new XmlMapper(); try { xmlContainer = xmlMapper.readValue(contrUtil.readXmlFile("Rates_Response.xml"), RatesResponse.class); } catch (IOException e) { log.log(Level.SEVERE, "An Exception on parsing XML document", e); } return xmlContainer; } 

An exception:

The top line says:

 no String-argument constructor/factory method to deserialize from String value ('16.05') 

The value it refers to is due to this tag:

 <apr>16.05</apr> 

If I move (move) the tag, <apr>16.05</apr> , the parser works and no exception is thrown. If I replace the tag with another tag, the same exception will still occur; it affects only the last tag of the <rate_details> tag of the tag .

What could be the problem?

It seems to be a mistake ; filed it here: https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-dataformat-xml/issues/219

You can try adding the @JsonCreator annotation to your default constructor, which should help. Do you have another constructor for this class in your code?
