akka.persistence.typed.internal.JournalFailureException: Exception during recovery. How to solve it?

Question

Using Akka persistence I get this exception:

Caused by: akka.persistence.typed.internal.JournalFailureException: Exception during recovery. Last known sequence number [0]. PersistenceId [PersistenceExample], due to: Cannot construct instance of com.exercisePersistence.simpleExample.MyPersistentBehavior$Added (although at least one Creator exists): cannot deserialize from Object value (no delegate- or property-based Creator) at [Source: (byte[])"{"data":"data1"}"; line: 1, column: 2] at akka.persistence.typed.internal.ReplayingEvents.onRecoveryFailure(ReplayingEvents.scala:221) at akka.persistence.typed.internal.ReplayingEvents.onJournalResponse(ReplayingEvents.scala:143) ... 26 common frames omitted

The class Added that give me exception is:

public class MyPersistentBehavior 
    extends EventSourcedBehavior<MyPersistentBehavior.Command, 
        MyPersistentBehavior.Event, MyPersistentBehavior.State> {

    // COMMAND
    interface Command {}
    public static class Add implements Command {
      public final String data;

      public Add(String data) {
        this.data = data;
      }
    }
...
}

      leveldb {

You have a couple different options:

Since you're serializing with Jackson you can add @JsonCreator annotation to your constructor in protocol objects.
You can use Lombak to create your protocol objects which saves on a lot of java boiler plate and annotate it with @NoArgsConstructor.
Create an empty constructor.

Some information on it can be found here, https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/serialization-jackson.html#annotations
