Deserialization inside and array fails

[threadedblue]

I have two type of strings: 1) java.lang.String and 2) org.hl7.fhir.String. I must use them. They are incompatible. I implemented a custom deserializer: StringDeserializer.java. I registered it and it works.

When the JSON has a free standing string: { ... "family" : "Jones", ... }. the StringDeserializer is called--no problem.
But when the JSON has a string as an element inside and array: { ... "given" : ["Elizabeth", "Betsy"], ... }. the StringDeserializer is not called, an error is thrown complaining about the end of array.

I inquired of Jackson and the response was that it is not a Jackson problem. I am left with this being an emfjson problem.

Hello @threadedblue ,

emfjson relies heavily on the EMF metamodel to guide the deserialization.
Before we start investigating the deserializers code, can you post your metamodel with the example model so we can check this is not a modelization error? (e.g. mono-valued feature, wrong datatype...)

Ideally, if you have a small metamodel with a junit test to reproduce the error, this would be really nice.
