De-serializing to java fails on toString(2)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Entity:

JSON:

toString()
    [junit] 
{"footer":"footer","header":null,"displayType":"display","imageText":null}

toString(2)
 [junit] ------------- Standard Output ---------------
    [junit] {
    [junit]   "footer": "footer",
    [junit]   "header": {},
    [junit]   "displayType": "display",
    [junit]   "imageText": {},
    [junit] }

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

First one works
Second one fails with:
    [junit] org.json.JSONObject
    [junit] java.lang.ClassCastException: org.json.JSONObject

Is it intended that org.json.JSONObject.toString() and
org.json.JSONObject.toString(int) do not return the same json structurally?

Before looking at the internals, I was under the impression that they would 
return
the same structure just different white space.

We have phased out org.json of the library, this bug is therefore not relevant 
anymore.
