[json-lib-user] Problem with special characters in JSON string keys

[Florian S. <flo...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I am facing the following problem while using json-lib:

{"array" : [1,2] }

When I try to convert this JSON string into a Java
object, I get no errors at all; everything works fine.
However, trying to convert this JSON string

{"array.java" : [1,2]}


into a Java object yields an error:

Exception in thread "main" net.sf.json.JSONException:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException:
Unknown property 'array'
    at net.sf.json.JSONObject.toBean(JSONObject.java:543)

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException:

It seems that keys that contain period cannot be fully
parsed; only the string up to the first period is taken into account.
Any ideas why?

Thanks in advance,
Florian
