Serializing with Jackson (JSON) – getting “No serializer found”?

by

I get the an exception when trying to serialize a very simple object using Jackson. The error:

org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonMappingException: No serializer found for
class MyPackage.TestA and no properties
discovered to create BeanSerializer (to avoid exception, disable
SerializationConfig.Feature.FAIL_ON_EMPTY_BEANS) )

Below is the simple class and code to serialize.

Can anyone tell my why I get this error?

public class TestA {
    String SomeString = "asd";
}

TestA testA = new TestA();
ObjectMapper om = new ObjectMapper();
try {
    String testAString = om.writeValueAsString(testA); // error here!

    TestA newTestA = om.readValue(testAString, TestA.class);
} catch (JsonGenerationException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JsonMappingException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}
