(although at least one Creator exists): no String-argument constructor/factory method to deserialize from String value ('12')

The following method convertToObject uses Jackson to convert an XML to an Object. I get the following error:

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.MismatchedInputException: Cannot construct instance of `com.test.Student` 
(although at least one Creator exists):no String-argument constructor/factory method to deserialize from String value ('12')

Here are the core classes:

    private Students convertToObject(String xml) {
    XmlMapper xmlMapper = new XmlMapper();
    Students matchedObjects = null;

    try {
         System.out.println(xml);
         matchedObjects = xmlMapper.readValue(xml, Students.class);
    } catch (JsonProcessingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    System.out.println(matchedObjects);

    return matchedObjects;
}

This is the input XML:

<students>
<student><id>12</id><surname>DOE</surname><givenName>JOHN</givenName><marks>98.928</marks></student>
<student><id>13</id><surname>PRICE</surname><givenName>MIKE</givenName><marks>90.8444</marks> </student>
</students>

These are the two POJO's:

@Getter @Setter @AllArgsConstructor @NoArgsConstructor @ToString
@JacksonXmlRootElement(localName = "student")
public class Student {
    String id;
    String givenName;
    String surname;
    String marks;
}

@Getter @Setter @AllArgsConstructor @NoArgsConstructor @ToString
@JacksonXmlRootElement(localName = "students")
public class Students {
    @JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "student")
    private List<Student> student;
}

This is the dependency in the pom file.
