Persistent Entity Collection Mapping Issue in DomainObjectReader [DATAREST-1009]

Cole Olejniczak opened DATAREST-1009 and commented

Attempting to modify a persistent entity that has a collection of persistent entities fails if the collection is empty.

@Entity
public class Person {
    private List<Pet> pets;
}

@Entity
public class Pet {
    private String name;
}

If DomainObjectMapper tries to read { "pets" : ["pets/1"] } into a Person with no pets, it will fail. If it tries to read the same into a Person with at least 1 Pet, it will succeed.

DomainObjectMapper tries to readTreeValue the given json if the collection is empty and fails.

Affects: 2.5.7 (Hopper SR7)
