xml - Jackson: using builder with nondefault constructor -

i have following class:

@jsondeserialize(builder = transaction.builder.class) public final class transaction {      @jacksonxmltext     private final transactiontype transactiontype;     @jacksonxmlproperty(isattribute = true)     private final boolean transactionallowed;      private transaction(builder builder) {         transactiontype = builder.transactiontype;         transactionallowed = builder.transactionallowed;     }      public static final class builder {         private final transactiontype transactiontype;         private boolean transactionallowed;          public builder(transactiontype transactiontype) {             this.transactiontype = transactiontype;         }          public builder withtransactionallowed() {             transactionallowed = true;             return this;         }          public transaction build() {             return new transaction(this);         }     } } 

transactiontype simple enum:

public enum transactiontype {     pu,     cv; } 

when create new transaction instance , serialize using jackson mapper following xml:

<transaction transactionallowed="true">pu</transaction> 

the problem cannot deserialize it. following exception:

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.jsonmappingexception: no suitable constructor found type [simple type, class transaction$builder] 

if put @jsoncreator on builder constructor this:

@jsoncreator public builder(transactiontype transactiontype) {     this.transactiontype = transactiontype; } 

i following exception:

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.invalidformatexception: can not construct instance of transaction string value 'transactionallowed': value not 1 of declared enum instance names: [pu, cv] 

if put @jsonproperty on constructor parameter this:

@jsoncreator public builder(@jsonproperty transactiontype transactiontype) {     this.transactiontype = transactiontype; } 

i error:

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.jsonmappingexception: not find creator property name '' (in class transaction$builder) 

any ideas how around this?

after made work writing builder:

public static final class builder {     @jacksonxmltext     private final transactiontype transactiontype;     private boolean transactionallowed;      @jsoncreator     public builder(@jsonproperty(" ") transactiontype transactiontype) {         this.transactiontype = transactiontype;     }      public builder withtransactionallowed() {         transactionallowed = true;         return this;     }      public transaction build() {         return new transaction(this);     } } 

notice value of @jsonproperty not empty, can value except empty string. don't believe best solution ever works. yet won't accept own answer there better solution.
