Aws Java sdk how to set tags to volume

Question

I am trying to create an ec2 volume using tags

        //Create ec2 client using credentials
    AmazonEC2 ec2 = AmazonEC2ClientBuilder.standard().withCredentials(creds).withRegion(region).build();

    List<TagSpecification> ts = new ArrayList<TagSpecification>();
    ts.add(new TagSpecification().withTags(new Tag("Name","HelloWorld")));

    CreateVolumeRequest cvr = new CreateVolumeRequest(10,azone);
    cvr.setVolumeType(VolumeType.Gp2);
    cvr.setTagSpecifications(ts);

    ec2.createVolume(cvr);

But it throws the following error when I try to execute the above code.

Exception in thread "main" com.amazonaws.services.ec2.model.AmazonEC2Exception: 'null' is not a valid taggable resource type for this operation. (Service: AmazonEC2; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidParameterValue)

the following code should create a new volume and assign tags to it.

public void createVolumeWithTags() {
    AmazonEC2 amazonEC2 = AmazonEC2ClientBuilder.standard()
        .withCredentials(new AWSStaticCredentialsProvider(basicAWSCredentials))
        .withRegion(Regions.US_WEST_2)
        .build();

    CreateVolumeRequest createVolumeRequest = new CreateVolumeRequest(10, "us-west-2a");
    CreateVolumeResult createVolumeResult = amazonEC2.createVolume(createVolumeRequest);

    ArrayList<Tag> instanceTags = new ArrayList<Tag>();
    instanceTags.add(new Tag("Name", "HelloWorld"));
    CreateTagsRequest createTagsRequest = new CreateTagsRequest().withTags(instanceTags).withResources(createVolumeResult.getVolume().getVolumeId());

    amazonEC2.createTags(createTagsRequest);
}
