Reading XML file in JAVA and creating database

I have a problem reading "traits" from an XML file and filling a table in a database. I successfully read teacher and student list but I get error trying to read traits. For parsing I am using jackson-dataformat-xml. Any help would be really appreciated.

The error that I am getting:

JSON parse error: Cannot deserialize value of type `java.util.ArrayList<com.Homework.Structure.Trait>` from Object value (token `JsonToken.START_OBJECT`); nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.MismatchedInputException: Cannot deserialize value of type `java.util.ArrayList<com.Better.Homework.Structure.Trait>` from Object value (token `JsonToken.START_OBJECT`)\n 

This is my XML file:

<teacher id="100" class="English">
    <students>
        <student>
            <id>1</id>
            <first_name>Alice</first_name>
            <last_name>Wild</last_name>
            <traits>
                <trait>nice</trait>
                <trait>good_grades</trait>
            </traits>
        </student>
        <student>
            <id>2</id>
            <first_name>John</first_name>
            <last_name>Doe</last_name>
            <traits>
                <trait>kind</trait>
                <trait>likes_to_help</trait>
            </traits>
        </student>
    </students>
</teacher>
