Cannot construct instance of – Jackson

I am using Jackson and I’m having problems, when I try to deserialize an Object I get the following error:

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: 
    Can not construct instance of net.MyAbstractClass, 
    problem: abstract types either need to be mapped to concrete types, 
        have custom deserializer, or be instantiated with additional type information

I am having problems in the attribute:

@JsonTypeInfo(use = JsonTypeInfo.Id.NAME, include = JsonTypeInfo.As.WRAPPER_OBJECT, property = "@id")
@JsonSubTypes({ @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = MyAbstractClass.class, name = "MyAbstractClass") })
@ManyToOne
private MyAbstractClass object;

Could anyone help me?

Answer

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
