Can not deserialize instance of java.util.ArrayList out of VALUE_STRING

Question

I have a REST service built with Jersey and deployed in the AppEngine. The REST service implements the verb PUT that consumes an application/json media type. Th

This is the solution for my old question:

I implemented my own ContextResolver in order to enable the DeserializationConfig.Feature.ACCEPT_SINGLE_VALUE_AS_ARRAY feature.

package org.lig.hadas.services.mapper;

import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.ext.ContextResolver;
import javax.ws.rs.ext.Provider;

import org.codehaus.jackson.map.DeserializationConfig;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper;

@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Provider
public class ObjectMapperProvider implements ContextResolver
{
   ObjectMapper mapper;

   public ObjectMapperProvider(){
       mapper = new ObjectMapper();
       mapper.configure(DeserializationConfig.Feature.ACCEPT_SINGLE_VALUE_AS_ARRAY, true);
   }
   @Override
   public ObjectMapper getContext(Class type) {
       return mapper;
   }
}

And in the web.xml I registered my package into the servlet definition...

    ...
    com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer
    
        com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages
        ...;org.lig.hadas.services.mapper        
    
    ...

... all the rest is transparently done by jersey/jackson.
