jaxb - deserializing list of pojo with unbounded list inside

I hava a xml response like below:

<out>
<documentsInfoByClaimNumber>

               <caseId>654321</caseId>

               <documentDetails>

                  <documentId>123456</documentId>

                  <documentSource>brahbrah</documentSource>

                  <category>brahbrah</category>

                  <documentType>brahbrah</documentType>

                  <documentName>brahbrah.brah</documentName>

                  <createdDate>2020-06-22T17:00:25</createdDate>

               </documentDetails>

</documentsInfoByClaimNumber>
</out>

both documentsInfoByClaimNumber and documentDetails are unbounded list, could appear once or more

below are my pojos, I'm using lombok: jackson XmlMapper for parsing, with jaxb annotations

@Data
@NoArgsConstructor
@XmlRootElement(name = "getDocumentInfoByClaimNumberResponse")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class GetDocumentInfoByClaimNumberRes {
    @XmlElementWrapper(name = "out")
    @XmlElement(name = "documentsInfoByClaimNumber")
    private List<Wrapper> out;

    @Data
    public static class Wrapper{
        private int caseId;

//        private DocumentDetails documentDetails;  without list it works
        @XmlElement(name="documentDetails")
        private List<DocumentDetails> documentDetails;
    }
}

@Data
public class DocumentDetails {
    private String documentId;
    private String documentSource;
    private String category;
    private String documentType;
    private String documentName;
    private LocalDateTime createdDate;
}

the problem is, with documentDetails only appear once, I got something like

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.MismatchedInputException: Cannot construct instance of `com.service.casetrack.payload.DocumentDetails` (although at least one Creator exists): no String-argument constructor/factory method to deserialize from String value ('123456')
(through reference chain: GetDocumentInfoByClaimNumberRes["out"]->java.util.ArrayList[1]->GetDocumentInfoByClaimNumberRes$Wrapper["documentDetails"]->java.util.ArrayList[0])

I can deserialize it without using List, but thus I can't deal with two or more elements. Any tricks for this?

check below .. i wish that is help for you
