So, finally I realized what the problem is. It is not a Jackson configuration issue as I doubted.
Actually the problem was in ApplesDO Class:
public class ApplesDO {
private String apple;
public String getApple() {
return apple;
}
public void setApple(String apple) {
this.apple = apple;
}
public ApplesDO(CustomType custom) {
//constructor Code
}
}
There was a custom constructor defined for the class making it the default constructor. Introducing a dummy constructor has made the error to go away:
public class ApplesDO {
private String apple;
public String getApple() {
return apple;
}
public void setApple(String apple) {
this.apple = apple;
}
public ApplesDO(CustomType custom) {
//constructor Code
}
//Introducing the dummy constructor
public ApplesDO() {
}
}
