[Simple-support] PersistenceException: constructor not matched for class error when deserializing XML file

[Thalisson Da R. <tal...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm using Simple to create an XML file called BackupInfo.xml from this
class:

@Root
public class BackupInfo {
    @Attribute
    private String backupName;
    @Element
    private int numberOfFiles;
    @ElementList
    private ArrayList<FileInfo> files;
    @Element
    private Date date;
}

@Root
class FileInfo{
    @Attribute
    public String fileName;
    @Element
    private String path;
    @Element
    private long fileSize;

    public FileInfo(String name, String aPath, long size) {
        fileName = name;
        path = aPath;
        fileSize = size;
    }

    public String getName(){
        return fileName;
    }

    public String getPath(){
        return path;
    }
}

When I serialize it I get a XML file that looks like this:

- <#>    <backupInfo backupName="1">
   <files>
      <fileInfo>
         <fileName>sms.xml</fileName>
         <path>/sdcard/sms.xml</path>
         <fileSize>2807</fileSize>
      </fileInfo>
      <fileInfo>
         <fileName>calllog.xml</fileName>
         <path>/sdcard/calllog.xml</path>
         <fileSize>1611</fileSize>
      </fileInfo>
      <fileInfo>
         <fileName>contacts.xml</fileName>
         <path>/sdcard/contacts.xml</path>
         <fileSize>1679</fileSize>
      </fileInfo>
   </files>
   <date>2011-01-21 16:55:15.63 GMT+00:00</date>
   <numberOfFiles>3</numberOfFiles>
</backupInfo>

Then I try to deserialize using:
     serializer = new Persister();
     File info = new File ("/sdcard/BackupInfo.xml");
     BackupInfo bi = serializer.read(BackupInfo.class, info);

At this point, I get the PersistenceException: Constructor not matched for
class com.data.FileInfo

How do I solve this error? I searched everywhere (tutorial, google, this
mail list) but couldn't find an answer.

Thx,
Thalisson
