How do I convert kotlin data class to xml using fasterxml?

I have a kotlin data class that I would like to serialize to xml. I am using Jackson Fasterxml. However, when I serialize the class, the JacksonXmlProperty is ignored thus not giving the desired output. Here’s the data class I was working on.

@JacksonXmlRootElement(localName = "COMMAND") data class Request(         @JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "TYPE")         val type: String,          @JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "INTERFACEID")         val interfaceId: String,          @JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "MSISDN")         val msisdn: String,          @JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "MSISDN2")         val msisdn2: String,          @JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "AMOUNT")         val amount: Int,          @JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "MEMO")         val memo: String,          @JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "EXTTRID")         val externalTxnId: String,          @JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "MERCHANT_TXN_ID")         val merchantTxnId: String,          @JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "IS_TRANS_UNIQUE_CHECK_REQUIRED")         val isUnique: String = "Y",          @JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "REFERENCE")         val reference: String,          @JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "serviceType")         val serviceType: String,          @JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "USERNAME")         val username: String,          @JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "PASSWORD")         val password: String )

The response I was getting ignores the JacksonXmlProperty:

<COMMAND>   <serviceType>MERCHPAY</serviceType>   <type>MERCHPAY</type>   <interfaceId>DATABUNDLES</interfaceId>   <msisdn>733204938</msisdn>   <msisdn2>100001929</msisdn2>   <amount>1000</amount>   <memo>Enter the PIN for payment of 1000 to purchase testing transaction</memo>   <externalTxnId>07026984141550752666</externalTxnId>   <merchantTxnId>07026984141550752666</merchantTxnId>   <reference>Testing transaction</reference>   <username>abcd</username>   <password>abcd123</password> </COMMAND>

To convert kotlin data class to xml using fasterxml

  1. Ensure you add dependency on pom
        <dependency>             <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat</groupId>             <artifactId>jackson-dataformat-xml</artifactId>             <version>2.10.1</version>         </dependency>
  1. On the data class add @field so that the @JacksonXmlProperty is not ignored
@JacksonXmlRootElement(localName = "COMMAND") data class AirtelExpressRequest(         @field:JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "TYPE")         val type: String,          @field:JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "INTERFACEID")         val interfaceId: String,          @field:JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "MSISDN")         val msisdn: String,          @field:JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "MSISDN2")         val msisdn2: String,          @field:JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "AMOUNT")         val amount: Int,          @field:JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "MEMO")         val memo: String,          @field:JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "EXTTRID")         val externalTxnId: String,          @field:JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "MERCHANT_TXN_ID")         val merchantTxnId: String,          @field:JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "IS_TRANS_UNIQUE_CHECK_REQUIRED")         val isUnique: String = "Y",          @field:JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "REFERENCE")         val reference: String,          @field:JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "serviceType")         val serviceType: String,          @field:JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "USERNAME")         val username: String,          @field:JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "PASSWORD")         val password: String )
  1. Using XmlMapper you can then go ahead and serialize to the data class to xml
 val xmlMapper = XmlMapper(                 JacksonXmlModule().apply { setDefaultUseWrapper(false) }         ).apply {                 enable(SerializationFeature.INDENT_OUTPUT)         } val strObject = Request(                 type            = "MERCHPAY",                 interfaceId     = "DATABUNDLES",                 msisdn          = "733204938",                 msisdn2         = "100001929",                 amount          = 1_000,                 externalTxnId   = "07026984141550752666",                 merchantTxnId   = "07026984141550752666",                 reference       = "Testing transaction",                 memo            = "Enter the PIN for payment of 1000 to purchase testing transaction",                 serviceType     = "MERCHPAY",                 username        = "abcd",                 password        = "abcd123"         )         val xml = xmlMapper.writeValueAsString(strObject)
  1. Output
<COMMAND>   <TYPE>MERCHPAY</TYPE>   <INTERFACEID>DATABUNDLES</INTERFACEID>   <MSISDN>733204938</MSISDN>   <MSISDN2>100001929</MSISDN2>   <AMOUNT>1000</AMOUNT>   <MEMO>Enter the PIN for payment of 1000 to purchase testing transaction</MEMO>   <EXTTRID>07026984141550752666</EXTTRID>   <MERCHANT_TXN_ID>07026984141550752666</MERCHANT_TXN_ID>   <IS_TRANS_UNIQUE_CHECK_REQUIRED>Y</IS_TRANS_UNIQUE_CHECK_REQUIRED>   <REFERENCE>Testing transaction</REFERENCE>   <serviceType>MERCHPAY</serviceType>   <USERNAME>abcd</USERNAME>   <PASSWORD>abcd123</PASSWORD> </COMMAND>
