Не мапится объект из POST запроса

Моя задача состоит в том, чтобы создать post запрос, получить из него объект Item и сохранить его в базу данных Oracle. Для эмуляции запроса я использую Postmen и создаю в нём такой вот запрос:

Использую библиотеку для работы с jackson:

<dependency>
        <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
        <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
        <version>2.6.3</version>
    </dependency>

Класс сущности:

import javax.persistence.*;
import java.util.Date;
@Entity
@Table(name = "ITEM")
public class Item {
    private Long id;
    private String name;
    private Date dateCreated;
    private Date lastUpdateDate;
    private String description;
    public Item() {
    }
    public Item(String name, Date dateCreated, Date lastUpdateDate, String description) {
        this.name = name;
        this.dateCreated = dateCreated;
        this.lastUpdateDate = lastUpdateDate;
        this.description = description;
    }
    @Id
    @SequenceGenerator(name = "IT_SQ", sequenceName = "ITEM_SEQ", allocationSize = 1)
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "IT_SQ")
    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }
    @Column(name = "NAME")
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    @Column(name = "DATE_CREATED")
    public Date getDateCreated() {
        return dateCreated;
    }
    @Column(name = "LAST_UPDATE_DATE")
    public Date getLastUpdateDate() {
        return lastUpdateDate;
    }
    @Column(name = "DESCRIPTION")
    public String getDescription() {
        return description;
    }
    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    public void setDateCreated(Date dateCreated) {
        this.dateCreated = dateCreated;
    }
    public void setLastUpdateDate(Date lastUpdateDate) {
        this.lastUpdateDate = lastUpdateDate;
    }
    public void setDescription(String description) {
        this.description = description;
    }
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Item{" +
                "id=" + id +
                ", name='" + name + '\'' +
                ", dateCreated=" + dateCreated +
                ", lastUpdateDate=" + lastUpdateDate +
                ", description='" + description + '\'' +
                '}';
    }
}

Метод doPost:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
@WebServlet(urlPatterns = "/test")
public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {
    private ItemDAO itemDAO = new ItemDAO();
    @Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)throws IOException {
        //передать параметр из строки браузера в метод
        //найти по параметру объект в базе
        //вернуть объект в строковом представлении в браузер
        //String id = req.getParameter("param");
        //long idItem = Long.parseLong(id);
        //ItemDAO itemDAO = new ItemDAO();
        //itemDAO.findById(Long.parseLong(req.getParameter("param")));
        resp.getWriter().println(itemDAO.findById(Long.parseLong(req.getParameter("param"))).toString());
    }
    @Override
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)throws ServletException, IOException{
        //считать данные из запроса
        //по ключам промапить объект
        //сделать валидацию, проверить есть ли объект с таким айди в базе
        //сохранить объект в базу
        StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
        String line = null;
        BufferedReader reader = req.getReader();
        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null){
            stringBuilder.append(line);
        }
        String json = stringBuilder.toString();
        System.out.println("Input string - " + json);
        ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
        Item item = objectMapper.convertValue(json, Item.class);
        System.out.println("Object after mapping: " + item);

    }

Запускаю, чтобы проверить как мапится объект и получаю ошибку:

Подскажите, что делаю не так и как исправить мою ошибку, чтобы создавался объект Item.
