@JsonString annotation not recognized on field of type List or Map

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Version of google-http-java-client (e.g. 1.5.0-beta)?

1.10.3-beta

Java environment (e.g. Java 6, Android 2.3, App Engine)?

All

Describe the problem.

Try JSON parsing/generation on this class:

public class A {
    @Key
    @JsonString
    List<Long> longListValue;

    @Key
    @JsonString
    Map<String, Long> longMapValue;
}

and it will ignore the @JsonString annotation.  Sample stack trace:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: null: number field formatted as a JSON 
string must use the @JsonString annotation: null

How would you expect it to be fixed?

@JsonString annotation should be honored.
