Bug 341726

Description David Wegener 2011-04-03 14:58:45 EDT

Build Identifier: 7.3.1.v20110307

The JSONPojoConverter class isn't able to convert a char or Character fields when de-serializing JSON strings.  Characters are sent as strings.  The JSONPojoConverter.Setter class doesn't take this into account when invoking the setter method for the character field.  The Setter.invokeObject passes the field value as a String to the setter method.  The String needs to be converted to a char prior to invoking the setter method of the target object.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Define a class that includes a char or Character field.  Make sure that the class has a getter/setter for the field.
2. Register the JSONPojoConverter as the converter for the class.
3. Create an instance of the class and set the fields.  Use JSON.toString to convert the instance to a string.
4. Use a JSON.parse method to convert back to an object.

When the character field is encountered an InvocationTargetException because a String is passed instead of a char/Character to the set method.

Here is a sample class the demonstrates the problem.  The "type" field is the char field that causes the problem, and here is a sample of the JSON string created for a class instance.
{"class":"com.cboe.flex.translator.ProductRequestStruct","strike":100,"symbol":"IBM","expirationType":1,"priceType":0,"month":"JAN","settlementTime":0,"type":"C"}
public class ProductRequestStruct {
	
	private String symbol;
	private String month;
	private int strike;
	private int priceType;
	private char type;
	private int expirationType;
	private int settlementTime;
	public String getSymbol() {
		return symbol;
	}
	public void setSymbol(String symbol) {
		this.symbol = symbol;
	}
	public String getMonth() {
		return month;
	}
	public void setMonth(String month) {
		this.month = month;
	}
	public int getStrike() {
		return strike;
	}
	public void setStrike(int strike) {
		this.strike = strike;
	}
	public int getPriceType() {
		return priceType;
	}
	public void setPriceType(int priceType) {
		this.priceType = priceType;
	}
	public char getType() {
		return type;
	}
	public void setType(char type) {
		this.type = type;
	}
	public int getExpirationType() {
		return expirationType;
	}
	public void setExpirationType(int expirationType) {
		this.expirationType = expirationType;
	}
	public int getSettlementTime() {
		return settlementTime;
	}
	public void setSettlementTime(int settlementTime) {
		this.settlementTime = settlementTime;
	}
