Zero argument constructor required for superclass of class to be serialized

[lukevd]

Describe the bug
If a class, which should be serialized, extends another class with no zero argument constructor, an error occurs.
To Reproduce
The description of the bug is based on the example specified here:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/MOXy/GettingStarted/TheBasics
Suppose we have a class Customer which should be serialized to XML:

package example.gettingstarted;

public class Customer extends Supercustomer {
 
    private String name;
 
    public Customer() {
	super("Super");
    }
 
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
 
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
 
}

The class Supercustomer is given below, note that it does not have a zero argument constructor:

package example.gettingstarted;

public class Supercustomer {
	String name;

	public Supercustomer(String name){
		this.name = name;
	}
}

The class Demo.java is used to serialize an object of Customer to XML:

package example.gettingstarted;
 
import jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
import jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBElement;
import jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException;
import jakarta.xml.bind.Marshaller;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
 
public class Demo {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) throws JAXBException {
 
        // Step 1 - Create the Domain Model
 
        Customer customer = new Customer();
        customer.setName("Jane Doe");
 
        // Step 2 - Convert the Domain Model to XML
 
        JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(Customer.class);
 
        Marshaller marshaller = jaxbContext.createMarshaller();
        marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);
 
        JAXBElement<Customer> jaxbElement = new JAXBElement<Customer>(new QName(null, "customer"), Customer.class, customer);
        marshaller.marshal(jaxbElement, System.out);
 
    }
 
}

On execution, the following error occurs:

Expected behavior
The class, which extends another class, can be serialized, even if the superclass does not have a zero argument constructor.
