Problem

SpringEntityLeakDetector does not seem to support the case when an argument is a Map:
     java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid class name

Code

@Controller
public class SpringEntityLeakController  {

    @RequestMapping("/api1")
    public HashMap<String, List<HelloBean>> getHelloBeans() {

        HashMap<String, List<HelloBean>> map = new HashMap<>();

        List<HelloBean> list = new ArrayList<>();

        list.add(new HelloBean("1", "name1"));
        list.add(new HelloBean("2", "name2"));
        map.put("data", list);
        return map;

    }

}

class HelloBean {
    String id;
    String name;

    public HelloBean(String id, String name) {
        super();
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
    }

}

We have a similar problem, is there a work-around?
