Unable to retrieve an object from CouchDB as String

[yassine...@gmail.com]

Hello there !

Here is my problem:

I have a couchDB database running, and I am trying to get one of its documents' property from Ektorp API, but I am unable to.

To make it short, my field is named "Project" and is represented as something like:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Field "Project" from document in CouchDB database:

{
   "name": ...,
   "ver": ...,
   "type": ...,
   "Properties": {
       [bunch of String properties]
   },
   "modules": {
       "modulename": {
           [bunch of String properties],
           [some other imbricated objects]
       }
   }
}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the Project field is injected via a POST method directly in a single field as a single String, I thought I could retrieve it directly, but I have the following response:

Template.java:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_EMPTY)
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class TemplateType {
 @JsonProperty("_id")
 private String id;


 @JsonProperty("_rev")
 private String revision;


 private String Project;


 public TemplateV2Type() {


 }
[getters and setters]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MainClass:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[http connections and configs]
[TemplateRepository instance].get(<existing document ID>);
 System.out.println(templ.getProject());

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Response from Ektorp:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2868 [main] DEBUG org.apache.http.headers  - << HTTP/1.1 200 OK

null

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I checked, the document exists, the GET is correctly sent, but it seems that Java cannot retrieve the Project field correctly ...

If I remove the @JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true) or if I do not ignore the Project property, I'm getting the following error:

Exception in thread "main" org.ektorp.DbAccessException: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.UnrecognizedPropertyException: Unrecognized field "Project"

I'd be thankful if you could help me, I only have a few days on Ektorp and I cannot find out why I cannot get this field.

Is this because the field, even if injected as a String, is a JSON Object and must be retrieved as if ?

Is there a way to get a JSON Object from an field in a document using Ektorp ?

Thank you,
