JSON: Deserializing DateTime field throws IllegalArgumentException

[Chris Vaughan]

Should this work?

JSON:

{

...

"start_date": "2013-10-03T11:12:13.000+0100"

... 

}

POJO:

public class ConfigResponse {

...

@Key("start_date")

public com.google.api.client.util.DateTime date;

... 

}

To deserialize I'm doing thisl:

new JacksonFactory().createJsonParser(json).parse(ConfigResponse.class)

I'm getting an IllegalArgumentException:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: key start_date

at com.google.api.client.json.JsonParser.parseValue(JsonParser.java:871)

at com.google.api.client.json.JsonParser.parse(JsonParser.java:374)

at com.google.api.client.json.JsonParser.parse(JsonParser.java:328)

at com.google.api.client.json.JsonParser.parse(JsonParser.java:304)

at com.laterooms.core.util.JsonUtils.parseContent(JsonUtils.java:37)

...

I'm using lib 1.16, but the release notes for 1.17 suggest that if this is a bug, it hasn't been fixed.
