2. Try to convert a Community object from a JSON text using:
//Convert the JSON string to community
Gson gson = new Gson();
community = gson.fromJson(communityJSON, Community.class);

3. This is the JSON:

ist":null,"manager":"avillalobos@alinean.com","networkContact":"avillalobos@alin

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is the Community Object converted from that JSON, the JSON 
is generated by Spring Web Services like this:

HttpEntity<Community> entity = new HttpEntity<>(community);
ResponseEntity<Community> response = 
restTemplate.postForEntity(getSyncServiceURL("url.sync.community.create"), 
entity, Community.class, userID);

The problem seems to be with the brandingLogo property, which is a byte[] type.

The output is:
