Playing with readEntity(String.class)

[Vincenzo D'Amore]

Hi All,

I don't understand why when I receive a json encoded string this is not
decoded automatically.
I wrote this code:

    Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient().register(JSONProvider.class);

    WebTarget target = client.target("http://example.org/rest/service1";);
    target = target.queryParam("method", "method1");

    Entity<EndpointRequest> entity = Entity.entity(new
EndpointRequest("0000"),
                           MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
    Response response = builder.post(entity);

       System.out.println( response.getStatus() );

       if (response.getStatus() == 200) {

// The problem comes here

       String basePath = response.readEntity(String.class);
       System.out.println( basePath );
       }

The request is successfully executed but basePath contains
"\/opt\/local\/application\/rest\/"  (backslash and double quotes included)

basePath should instead contain this:  /opt/local/application/rest/

It seems to me, the json deserialization hasn't be triggered when it should.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Vincenzo
