Content-Type application/json

[Niclas Hedhman]

Hi,

I am having problem that string and number are recognized as valid application/json and Restlet returns a ERROR 500 before my code is called. For instance a payload of "8" (with or with quotes) on a PUT to

@Put( "json" )
<T> void store( InputRepresentation value );

I am using the jackson extension (2.10.1) and version 2.4.1 of restlet.

Is this due to following RFC4627 where

 JSON-text = object / array

which is incorrect and superceded by RFC7159 followed by RFC8259 which defines it as

 JSON-text = ws value ws

Jackson itself handles it (perhaps even more than it should);

Object a = new ObjectMapper().readValue( "12", Integer.class);
Object b = new ObjectMapper().readValue( "\"12\"", Integer.class);
Object c = new ObjectMapper().readValue( "\"12\"", String.class);
Object d = new ObjectMapper().readValue( "12", String.class);
System.out.println(a.getClass() + " " + a);
System.out.println(b.getClass() + " " + b);
System.out.println(c.getClass() + " " + c);
System.out.println(d.getClass() + " " + d);

class java.lang.Integer 12
class java.lang.Integer 12
class java.lang.String 12
class java.lang.String 12

(other operations such as getting tokens, readTree and so on also works)

OR is it something I completely missed to make it work?

Thanks

Niclas
