Getting "no serializer found for class" Exception in restAssured post request - api

Question

I have a Json Payload for a Post call as below:
{
"action" : "Closed",
"Id" : 30144,
"expireDate" : null,
"inputUser" : "abc",
"previousStatusId" : 1,
"statusId" : 4,
"Notes" : [ ]
}
My POJO classes for the above payload is as below
public class UpdateNoteStatus {
private String action;
private int Id;
private String expireDate;
private String inputUser;
private int previousStatusId;
private int statusId;
private List<Notes> Notes;
public void setAction(String action) {
this.action = action;
}
public void setId(int Id) {
this.Id = Id;
}
public void setExpireDate(String expireDate) {
this.expireDate = expireDate;
}
public void setinputUser(String inputUser) {
this.inputUser = inputUser;
}
public void setPreviousStatusId(int previousStatusId) {
this.previousStatusId = previousStatusId;
}
public void setStatusId(int statusId) {
this.statusId = statusId;
}
public void setNotes(List<Notes> Notes) {
this.Notes = Notes;
}
}
public class Notes{
}
Now I have assigned the values in the main class from where I am making the API call is as below:
ArrayList<Notes> Notes = new ArrayList<Notes>();
UpdateNoteStatus objUpdateNoteStatus = new UpdateNoteStatus();
objUpdateNoteStatus.setAction("Closed");
objUpdateNoteStatus.setId(Integer.parseInt("30144"));
objUpdateNoteStatus.setinputUser("abc");
objUpdateNoteStatus.setPreviousStatusId(1);
objUpdateNoteStatus.setStatusId(4);
objUpdateNoteStatus.setNotes(Notes);
But when I am making the API POST call it is throwing exception - "no serializer found for class and no properties discovered to create beanserializer". Could you please help. The Step is hightlighted in Bold.
RequestSpecification rs = given().contentType("application/json");
**rs = rs.body(objUpdateNoteStatus);** //In This Step I am getting the above mentioned Exception
Response res = rs.when().post("/UpdateStatus");

as you are initializing an empty object , you need to use below Annotation supported in below library
com.jayway.restassured.RestAssured;
#JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown=true)
class UpdateNoteStatus
