XML unable to create JAXBContext on marshal [dupli

This question already has an answer here:

JAXBContext and @XmlRootElement cause error 1 answer

I have a POJO(in Kotlin) that I wanted to change into XML but i having problem going through the JAXBContext.newInstance(myObj::class.java) part

Just view/reply it in Java/Kotlin also can

Here's my code on marshalling

val context = JAXBContext.newInstance(WxPayOrder::class.java)
val m = context.createMarshaller()

m.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true)

val sw = StringWriter()
m.marshal(wxPayOrderWithSign, sw)
val xmlString = sw.toString()

Here's my code on the POJO or data class (I tried both and neither with/without @XmlType & @XmlElement ON)

@XmlRootElement(name = "WxPayOrder")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(propOrder = arrayOf("appid","attach","body","detail"))
data class  WxPayOrder (

        @XmlElement(name = "appid")
        var appid: String,

        @XmlElement(name = "attach")
        var attach: String? = null,

        @XmlElement(name = "body")
        var body: String,

        @XmlElement(name = "detail")
        var detail: String? = null,
)

Here's is the error i getting (I personally think that wasn't informative enough and i saw others that hit this error also come with duplicate name etc.. but not mine)

I'm quite new to Kotlin and JAXB. Thanks in advance.

JAXB requires a no-arg-constructor to work. Maybe somewhere in your stacktrace/log that was also written... but maybe not.

As you used a data class, the simplest way to fix the issue is to add a no-arg-constructor as follows:

@XmlRootElement
data class WxPayOrder (
        // all the properties
) {
  // the no-arg-constructor is a must:
  constructor() : this("", body = "", /* all the other properties that must have a value, setting them to a default one */)
}

If it was a "simple" class you can also use something similar to:

@XmlRootElement
class WxPayOrder() { // actually now this line contains the no-arg constructor
   // your properties
   lateinit var demo : String
   // your custom constructors
   constructor(demo : String) : this() {
     this.demo = demo
   }
}
