Why do I get a "No property node found on entity class … to bind constructor parameter to!" with Spring Data MongoDB

Question

Trying to use JodaTime's LocalDate with Spring Data MongoDB and Spring 4 but I am getting the following exception:

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcher] in context with path [] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.data.mapping.model.MappingException: No property node found on entity class com.th.model.Price to bind constructor parameter to!] with root cause
org.springframework.data.mapping.model.MappingException: No property node found on entity class com.th.model.Price to bind constructor parameter to!

Apparently I can't have a constructor like this:

public Price(String companyId, JsonNode node) {
        this.companyId = companyId;

        if(node != null) {
            this.date = Tools.getLocalDate(node.get("Date").getTextValue());
            this.closePrice = Double.parseDouble(node.get("Close").getTextValue());
            this.volume = Double.parseDouble(node.get("Volume").getTextValue());
        }
}

A normal one with direct assignment work:

public Price(String companyId, LocalDate date, double closePrice, double volume) {
    this.companyId = companyId;
    this.date = date;
    this.closePrice = closePrice;
    this.volume = volume;
}
