Spring Boot REST Service: JSON Deserialization Not Working

I'm working on a REST service using spring-boot and Kotlin. (I should mention it's my first time using both.) I'm having trouble getting Jackson to deserialize JSON from a POST request using this code:

@RequestMapping("cloudservice/login/{uuid}", method = arrayOf(RequestMethod.POST))
fun login(@PathVariable(value="uuid")uuid: String, @RequestBody user: CloudServiceUser ) : ResponseEntity<CloudServiceUser> {

    val cloudServiceFactory : Class<CloudServiceFactory> = cloudServiceRepository.cloudServiceExtensions[UUID.fromString(uuid)] ?: throw InvalidPathVariableException("Invalid UUID.")
    var token : String
    try {
        token = cloudServiceFactory.newInstance().authenticationService.login(user.userId, user.password)
    } catch (e:Exception ){
        throw CloudServiceException(e.message)
    }

    return ResponseEntity(CloudServiceUser(userId=user.userId, password = "", token = token),HttpStatus.OK)
}

The user object is simply:

data class CloudServiceUser(val userId: String, val password:String, val token:String)

I get the error

org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException: Could not read document: Can not construct instance of com.irotsoma.cloudbackenc.cloudservice.CloudServiceUser: no suitable constructor found, can not deserialize from Object value (missing default constructor or creator, or perhaps need to add/enable type information?)

However, the serializing in the return statement works just fine to serialize to a JSON object and sends the response. It's just the deserialization that isn't working.

If I change the body variable to a String and manually create mapper, it also works fine. Like this:

@RequestMapping("cloudservice/login/{uuid}", method = arrayOf(RequestMethod.POST))
fun login(@PathVariable(value="uuid")uuid: String, @RequestBody user: String ) : ResponseEntity<CloudServiceUser> {

    val mapper = ObjectMapper().registerModule(KotlinModule())
    val mapperData: CloudServiceUser = mapper.readValue(user)


    val cloudServiceFactory : Class<CloudServiceFactory> = cloudServiceRepository.cloudServiceExtensions[UUID.fromString(uuid)] ?: throw InvalidPathVariableException("Invalid UUID.")
    var token : String
    try {
        token = cloudServiceFactory.newInstance().authenticationService.login(mapperData.userId, mapperData.password)
    } catch (e:Exception ){
        throw CloudServiceException(e.message)
    }

    return ResponseEntity(CloudServiceUser(userId=mapperData.userId, password = "", token = token),HttpStatus.OK)
}

Any ideas?

It's an open source project, so feel free to browse it if you need more info: https://github.com/irotsoma/cloudbackenc. Note that it is in a very early state at the moment.

EDIT: Just wanted to add a note about my troubles with Integration tests as noted in comments on the accepted answer. I ended up never getting the integration test to be able to deserialize the response (though the REST controller side of things worked fine just like in production). So I found a workaround using a Map object, which for some reason it was able to deserialize to, and then manually processing it rather than using the class object. Since it's just a problem with the test and not the code being tested, this was fine for me.

val returnValue = template.postForEntity("REQUEST URL", httpEntity, Map::class.java)

You need to help Jackson in deserializing data classes as indicated in the error message. You can do so by registering jackson-module-kotlin in ObjectMapper like so:

val mapper = ObjectMapper().registerModule(KotlinModule())

To tell spring about your own customized ObjectMapper define a @Bean and mark it as @Primary:

@Configuration
open class ObjectMapperConfiguration {
  @Bean
  @Primary
  open fun objectMapper() = ObjectMapper().apply { 
    registerModule(KotlinModule()) 
  }
}
