Strange behavior on Map serialization #478

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I'm trying to serialize a generic typed map using gson.
As result of "toJson(...)" I get following string:
"{"java.awt.Point[x\u003d10,y\u003d10]":{"x":101,"y":101}}"

it seems that for key it just call "toString()" function instead of 
serialization.

On desirialization I get following exception:

Exception in thread "main" com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: 
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was STRING at line 1 
column 39

due to the bad json format.

Is there any workaround?

Thanks In Advance.

Problem solved, my fault, sorry.
There is an option called ComplexMapKeySerialization.
It can be enabled using GsonBuilder.

GsonBuilder builder = new GsonBuilder();
builder.enableComplexMapKeySerialization();
builder.create();
