Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
This is an error that occurs when using DynamoDB in Java. For instance, you may run into this error:
- If you define a table class (class with the annotation
@DynamoDBTable(tableName=""))as a subclass of another class. - If it is defined within the same file as another class.
- If you have not defined getters/setters or a no-arg constructor.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
To solve this error:
- Ensure that you define your Java DynamoDB table classes in their separate file.
- Ensure that your class has a no-arg constructor.
