[FIXED] FlatFileParseException at Spring Batch for Date and Double Fields

Issue

I'm trying to figure out Spring Batch. I try to read data from file but got exception. This is my POJO:

public class VehicleData {

    private Long vehicleId;
    private Date timestamp;
    private Double latitude;
    private Double longitude;

    public VehicleData(Long vehicleId, Date timestamp, Double latitude, Double longitude) {
        this.vehicleId = vehicleId;
        this.timestamp = timestamp;
        this.latitude = latitude;
        this.longitude = longitude;
    }

    //getters and setters

    }

First line of the file:

1,2012-02-02 14:37:30,112.29369,43.92272

Here is the reader Bean:

@Bean
public FlatFileItemReader<VehicleData> reader() {
    FlatFileItemReader<VehicleData> reader = new FlatFileItemReader<>();
    reader.setResource(new ClassPathResource("data/1.txt"));
    reader.setLineMapper(new DefaultLineMapper<VehicleData>() {{
        setLineTokenizer(new DelimitedLineTokenizer() {{
            setNames(new String[]{"vehicleId", "timestamp", "latitude", "longitude"});
        }});

        setFieldSetMapper(new BeanWrapperFieldSetMapper<VehicleData>() {{
            setTargetType(VehicleData.class);
            setCustomEditors(Collections.singletonMap(Date.class,
                    new CustomDateEditor(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"), false)));
        }});
    }});
    return reader;
}

Error is as follows:

I was suspicious about Date and wrote a custom editor for that purpose. What may be the reason for that?

Solution

NoSuchMethodException: com.gom.tom.simulator.VehicleData.<init>() means that you are missing the default constructor in your POJO.

public class VehicleData {
    // ....

    public VehicleData() {

    }

    // ....
}
