Hi, That is indeed the reason for the class cast exception, but on the server the Set is populated with AMRecord objects and after the Jackson representation un-marshalling the AMRecord object has become a LinkedHashMap.
So there has to be something going on in the Jackson/JSON representation implementation that prevents my custom class working in a collection, but fine when it's just on its own. regards Steve -- Steve Ferris : ForgeRock AS : e: [email protected] t: +44 (0)7813 709285 f: +44 (0)7971 042421 w: forgerock.com OpenAM, the new name for OpenSSO On 19 Apr 2011, at 3:40pm, Tim Peierls wrote: > A LinkedHashMap is not a Set.
