[FIXED] XMLEncoder refusing to write to file

Issue

Im quite new to Java programming/javafx and are trying to create a program that takes input of first name, last name, age. Prints it to a observablelist -> tableview in javafx. Then I got an arraylist that takes the observablelist and should print it to XML. But getting the error message java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class sun.reflect.misc.Trampoline can not access a member of class sample.Person with modifiers "" Continuing ... java.lang.Exception: XMLEncoder: discarding statement ArrayList.add(Person); Continuing ...

But my Person class are public and im able to output everything in console.

This is the main

    package sample;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.application.Platform;
import javafx.collections.FXCollections;
import javafx.collections.ObservableList;

import javafx.event.EventHandler;

import java.util.ArrayList;


public class Main extends Application {

    Person person;

    ArrayList<Person> aList = new ArrayList<>();
    ObservableList<Person> obList = FXCollections.observableList(aList);


    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {


        //Create main gridpane.
        GridPane gridpane = new GridPane();
        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(gridpane, 500, 500));
        primaryStage.show();


        //Create textfields/labels.
        Label fNameLabel = new Label("First name:");
        GridPane.setConstraints(fNameLabel, 0, 0);
        fNameLabel.setMinWidth(150);

        TextField fNameInput = new TextField();
        fNameInput.setPromptText("Input first name...");
        GridPane.setConstraints(fNameInput, 1, 0);

        Label lNameLabel = new Label("Last name: ");
        GridPane.setConstraints(lNameLabel, 0, 1);

        TextField lNameInput = new TextField();
        lNameInput.setPromptText("Input last name...");
        GridPane.setConstraints(lNameInput, 1, 1);

        Label ageLabel = new Label("Age: ");
        GridPane.setConstraints(ageLabel, 0, 2);

        TextField ageInput = new TextField();
        ageInput.setPromptText("Input age...");
        GridPane.setConstraints(ageInput, 1, 2);


        //Adds tableview.
        TableView<Person> tableView = new TableView<Person>();

        tableView.setItems(obList);
        TableColumn<Person, String> fNameTable = new TableColumn<Person, String>("First Name");
        fNameTable.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory<Person, String>("firstName"));
        TableColumn<Person, String> lNameTable = new TableColumn<Person, String>("Last Name");

        TableColumn<Person, String> ageTable = new TableColumn<Person, String>("Age");
        ageTable.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory<Person, String>("age"));

        fNameTable.setMinWidth(200);
        lNameTable.setMinWidth(200);
        ageTable.setMinWidth(100);

        ColumnConstraints column1 = new ColumnConstraints();
        ColumnConstraints column2 = new ColumnConstraints();
        ColumnConstraints column3 = new ColumnConstraints();
        column1.setPercentWidth(33);
        column2.setPercentWidth(33);
        column3.setPercentWidth(33);
        gridpane.getColumnConstraints().addAll(column1, column2, column3);
        tableView.getColumns().addAll(fNameTable, lNameTable, ageTable);


        // Adds the addbutton and creates a person with the chosen name/age.
        Button addButton = new Button("Add");
        GridPane.setConstraints(addButton, 1, 3);
        addButton.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(ActionEvent event) {

                obList.add(new Person(fNameInput.getText(), lNameInput.getText(), ageInput.getText()));
                tableView.setItems(obList);
                tableView.refresh();
                fNameInput.clear();
                lNameInput.clear();
                ageInput.clear();


            }
        });

        Button xmlButton = new Button("XML");
        GridPane.setConstraints(xmlButton, 0, 3);
        xmlButton.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>(){
            public void handle(ActionEvent event) {

                write();
            }
        });

        //Add everthing to gridpane.

        gridpane.add(tableView, 0, 4, 3, 2);
        gridpane.getChildren().addAll(fNameInput, addButton, fNameLabel, lNameInput, lNameLabel, ageLabel, ageInput, xmlButton);

        //What to do when user exits.
    primaryStage.setOnCloseRequest(new EventHandler<WindowEvent>() {
        @Override
        public void handle(WindowEvent event) {
            System.out.println("Du stängde");
            System.out.println(obList.size());

            write();


            Platform.exit();
            System.exit(0);

        }


    });
    }

    public void write() {
        XMLEncoder x = null;
        try {


            x = new XMLEncoder(new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("test.xml")));

            System.out.println("Printar till XML");
            System.out.println(aList.size()+" alist storlek");
            for(int i = 0; i < aList.size(); i++) {
                System.out.println(aList.get(i).getFirstName() + aList.get(i).getLastName() + aList.get(i).getAge());
            }
            x.writeObject(aList);
            x.close();



        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }



    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}

And my person class.

package sample;

import java.io.Serializable;

public class Person implements Serializable {

    public String firstName;
    public String lastName;
    public String age;

    Person() {
    }

    Person(String firstName, String lastName, String age) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
        this.lastName = lastName;
        this.age = age;

    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    public String getAge() {
        return age;
    }

    public void setAge(String age) {
        this.age = age;
    }
}

Solution

Your constructors are not public, so XMLEncoder is not able to access them. Change them to:

public Person()

public Person(String firstName, String lastName, String age)
