Expected a string but was BEGIN_OBJECT at line 1 column 2

That may be not an issue

Hello. I am using gwt-jackson. Parsing an object like {"name":"VALUE"} I get an error "Error at line 1 and column 2 of input <{"name": "AUSTRIA"}>.
I am trying to parse it into enum object like:

public enum Countries {
    AUSTRIA(2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1),
    ......
    @JsonProperty(value = "name")
    private String name;

    public CountryRegions getName(){return valueOf(name);}

    public void setName(String name){this.name = name;}
}

Here is the mapper:
public interface CountryMapper extends ObjectMapper<Countries>{}
Mapper creation:
CountryMapper mapper = GWT.create(CountryMapper.class);
and
Countries country = mapper.read("{\"name\": \"AUSTRIA\"}");

I have tried without property, getter and setter in the enum - this also didn't help. The only way to parse it is to create a proxy model with string property and first parse json to that model.
I suppose the issue is in the enum.
What would be your suggestion? What do I do wrong?

Hello,

Sorry for the late response.
You are creating a mapper directly on your enum.
The "json" should be the value directly :

Countries country = mapper.read("\"AUSTRIA\"");

If you have a json with {\"name\": \"AUSTRIA\"}, you should create a mapper on a class with a name property of type Countries.
