Add a  getter  and a  setter  and the problem is solved

I found at least three ways of doing this    Add public getters on your entity that you try to serialize  Add an annotation at the top of the entity  if you don t want public getters  This will change the default for Jackson from Visbility DEFAULT to  JsonAutoDetect fieldVisibility   JsonAutoDetect Visibility ANY  where any access modifiers are accepted  Change your ObjectMapper globally by setting objectMapperInstance setVisibility JsonMethod FIELD  Visibility ANY    This should be avoided if you don t need this functionality globally    Choose based on your needs

As already described  the default configuration of an ObjectMapper instance is to only access properties that are public fields or have public getters setters   An alternative to changing the class definition to make a field public or to provide a public getter setter is to specify  to the underlying VisibilityChecker  a different property visibility rule   Jackson 1 9 provides the ObjectMapper setVisibility   convenience method for doing so   For the example in the original question  I d likely configure this as  myObjectMapper setVisibility JsonMethod FIELD  Visibility ANY     For Jackson  2 0   myObjectMapper setVisibility PropertyAccessor FIELD  Visibility ANY     For more information and details on related configuration options  I recommend reviewing the JavaDocs on ObjectMapper setVisibility

The problem may be because you have declared variable as private  If you change it to public  it works   Better option is to use getter and setter methods for it   This will solve the issue

I had a similar problem with lazy loading via the hibernate proxy object  Got around it by annotating the class having lazy loaded private properties with    JsonIgnoreProperties   hibernateLazyInitializer    handler

I had the same problem for a child class where I had control  object mapper was in a common module and was inaccessible  I solved it by adding this annotation for my child class whose object was to be serialized    JsonAutoDetect fieldVisibility   JsonAutoDetect Visibility ANY

If you can edit the class containing that object  I usually just add the annotation  import com fasterxml jackson annotation JsonIgnore    JsonIgnore  NonSerializeableClass obj

SpringBoot2 0  I resolve it by follow code    Bean public ObjectMapper objectMapper      return new ObjectMapper   disable SerializationFeature FAIL ON EMPTY BEANS

The problem in my case was Jackson was trying to serialize an empty object with no attributes nor methods   As suggested in the exception I added the following line to avoid failure on empty beans   For Jackson 1 9  myObjectMapper configure SerializationConfig Feature FAIL ON EMPTY BEANS  false     For Jackson 2 X  myObjectMapper configure SerializationFeature FAIL ON EMPTY BEANS  false     You can find a simple example on jackson disable fail on empty beans

For Jackson to serialize that class  the SomeString field needs to either be public  right now it s package level isolation  or you need to define getter and setter methods for it

User · Answer

adding setter and getter will also solve the issue as it fixed for me   For Ex   public class TestA       String SomeString    asd        public String getSomeString             return SomeString              public void setSomeString  String SS            SomeString   SS

Though I added getters and setters I was getting the same error  Later I found a bug  that is by Sonar s advice I cgahnged the getters and setters as protected which was causing the issue  Once I fixed that it worked as exppected
