Cannot construct instance of - Jackson
You need to use a concrete class and not an Abstract class while deserializing. if the Abstract class has several implementations then, in that case, you can use it as below-
@JsonTypeInfo( use = JsonTypeInfo.Id.NAME, include = JsonTypeInfo.As.PROPERTY, property = "type")
@JsonSubTypes({
@Type(value = Bike.class, name = "bike"),
@Type(value = Auto.class, name = "auto"),
@Type(value = Car.class, name = "car")
})
public abstract class Vehicle {
// fields, constructors, getters, setters
}
You cannot instantiate an abstract class, Jackson neither. You should give Jackson information on how to instantiate MyAbstractClass with a concrete type.
See this answer on stackoverflow: Jackson JSON library: how to instantiate a class that contains abstract fields
And maybe also see Jackson Polymorphic Deserialization
