What's Causing This Error
This error occurs in Java when the mapper class is not defined correctly. For example, the SDK creates an instance of the mapper class using a "No-Arg" constructor and uses "Setter" methods to assign data to the object. So, you will run into this error if the mapper class is missing a No-Arg constructor or has invalid Setters/Getters that do not comply with the camel case convention.
Solution - Here's How To Resolve It
To resolve the error, ensure that you have provided a No-Arg constructor. This can be done by manually defining the constructor in your class or using a Lombok library.
Then, ensure that the getter/setter methods are correctly defined in the class. For example, if a mapper class has a property "age" of type Integer, the setter/getter would be similar to the snippet shown below.
private int age; public void setAge(int age) { this.age = age; } public int getAge(){ return age; }
