Backward-incompatible behaviour of 2.8: deserializing enum types with two static factory methods fail by default #1291
Description
After upgrading to 2.8, I'm getting:
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: Conflicting String creators: already had explicitly marked [method com.company.MyType#valueOf(1 params)], encountered [method com.company.MyType#fromString(1 params)]
Whereas in previous (2.7.x) it worked well.
The enum is defined as:
public enum MyType {
V1("val1"),
V2("val2"),
V3("val3"),
V4("val4"),
V5("val5"),
V6("val6");
private final String name;
MyType(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public static MyType fromString(String name) {
for (MyType type : MyType.values()) {
if (type.name.equals(name)) {
return type;
}
}
// In case no matching delegate to default parser which will throw a
// IllegalArgumentException if it's unable to parse the name
return MyType.valueOf(name.toUpperCase());
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return name;
}
}
