[json-lib-user] Dont want to process JSONObject variable in JavaBean

[Haritha J. <har...@ya...>]

Hi All/Andres,
I have a json string
String inputJsonString ={\"id\":\"120093773707853925\",
        \"parent_id\":\"120093773303118315\",
        \"objectType\":\"DataTableObject\",
        \"jsonData\":        
        { 
        \"objectType\":\"DataTableObject\",
        \"id\":\"120093773707853925\",
        \"name\":\"\",
        \"position\":\"({left:320, top:200})\",
        \"size\":\"({width:620, height:300})\",
        \"cssClass\":\"\",
        \"style\":\"left:320px;top:200px;width:620px;height:300px;\",
        \"dataSource\":\"exampleData.json\",
        \"objects\":[{name:\"col1\", friendlyName:\"Column 1\"},{name:\"col2\", friendlyName:\"Column 2\"},{name:\"col3\", friendlyName:\"Column 3\"},{name:\"col4\", friendlyName:\"Column 4\"},{name:\"col5\", friendlyName:\"Column 5\"}]
        },
        \"orderIndex\":0
}

and a JavaBean

public class ChildItem{
    private Long id;
    private Long parent_id;
    private String objectType;
    private Integer orderIndex;    
    private String jsonStr;
    private JSONObject jsonData;
    private List objects;
}

Java code to capture json string in ChildItem is
            JsonConfig jConfig = new JsonConfig();
            jConfig.setRootClass(ChildItem.class);
            jsonObject = JSONObject.fromObject( itemList.get(i),jConfig);              
            objectType=jsonObject.getString("objectType");
            log.debug("Object Type is:"+objectType);
            log.debug("json value is : "+jsonObject.getJSONObject("json"));
              child = (ChildItem)JSONObject.toBean(jsonObject ,ChildItem.class);

on the last line  child = (ChildItem)JSONObject.toBean(jsonObject ,ChildItem.class);  , i get this exception
net.sf.json.JSONException: Error while setting property=columns type interface java.util.List

When i convert json string to java object, the property 'jsonData' is captured as  JSONObject as desired. But i dont want to process it further. but looks like JSON-lib is processing the value of 'jsonData' property , how can i avoid this??
Thanks
Haritha
