Enum as key of nested Map gets set as String when converting from string to Object #21
Description
public enum GreetingType {
ENGLISH, CHINESE, HAWAIIAN;
}
public class Greeting {
private String word;
public void setWord(String word) {
this.word = word;
}
public String getWord() {
return word;
}
}
public class MyObj {
private Integer id;
private Map<GreetingType, Greeting> greetings;
public void setId(Integer id) {
this.id = id;
}
public Integer getId() {
return id;
}
public void setGreetings(Map<GreetingType, Greeting> greetings) {
this.greetings = greetings;
}
public Map<GreetingType, Greeting> getGreetings() {
return greetings;
}
}
// DOES NOT WORK:
String json = "{\"id\": \"1\", \"greetings\": {\"ENGLISH\": {\"word\": \"hello\"} }, {\"CHINESE\": {\"word\": \"nihao\"} }, {\"HAWAIIAN\": {\"word\": \"aloha\"} } }";
MyObj myObj = JSON.std.beanFrom(MyObj.class, json);
// keys of map greetings map are strings - not enums
myObj.getGreetings().get(GreetingType.ENGLISH); // -> Error
myObj.getGreetings().get("ENGLISH"); // -> Success
// DATABIND ObjectMapper WORKS AS EXPECTED:
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
MyObj myObj = mapper.readValue(json, MyObj.class);
myObj.getGreetings().get(GreetingType.ENGLISH); // -> Success
