Re: [json-lib-user] JSON Lib Issue

[Andres A. <aal...@ya...>]

Hi Janardhanan,=0A=0AHere is what's happening:=0AYou are using "Object" as =
a "catch-all" type for your property, when the JSONObject.fromObject() stat=
ic factories get called=0Afrom the JSONSerializer, it inspects the properti=
es of the input object (IssueObject) by type and determines that the proper=
ty=0A'value' must be converted to a JSONObject, following the chain it find=
s out its a String, but because the original command=0Awas to build a JSONO=
bject and your String value does not begin with a "{" and exception is thro=
wn.=0AAn exception should be thrown too if instead of a String you use a Nu=
mber, Array, Collection or Boolean.=0A=0AThe solution would be to inspect t=
he property's value for a more specific type, once the factory method has r=
eached the conclusion=0Athat the type is "Object" and before it calls fromO=
bject() again. AS you may foresee this is not an easy change and will take =
a=0Acouple of days, I'll register this as a Feature Request (as I consider =
that inspection by type is correct), please keep an eye on the=0Aproject's =
tracker to find out when the change is on the cvs.=0A=0ARegards,=0AAndres=
