#5 deserialized support for enum

[Carlos M. Pascal]

I have tried to deserialize a class which have an enum member and I have got the following exception

org.simpleframework.xml.core.PersistenceException: Constructor not matched for class tutorial.simple.EnumBug
at org.simpleframework.xml.core.ClassCreator.getInstance(ClassCreator.java:107)

at org.simpleframework.xml.core.Persister.read(Persister.java:454)
at org.simpleframework.xml.core.Persister.read(Persister.java:433)

for this example:

enum PartType {
A,
B
}

@Root()
public class EnumBug {

@Element
private PartType type;

public EnumBug(PartType typeType) {
this.type = typeType;
}

public PartType getType()
{
return type;
}
}

Can I use enum member? please give me an example.

thanks alot

I have already solved. It is need the default constructor.

Another way to solve this is constructor injection like so.

@Root
public class EnumBug {

@Element
private PartType type;

public EnumBug(@Element(name="type") PartType type) {
this.type = type;
}

public PartType getType() {
return type;
}
}

This works with constructor injection.
