When using JPA The RepositoryAwareJacksonModule doesn't seem to deserialize an @ElementCollection of type Map correctly.

ie an entity with:

java
...
@ElementCollection
private Map<Long, String> userIdSessionKeys;
...

which is attempted to be created with:

javascript
... , 'userIdSessionKeys': { 123: 'aslkdfjalkj=43Z' }, ...

Will case an error at line 329 of the RepositoryAwareJacksonModule, either assigning the key of the map element as a property or as a hateos reference.

Ideally when the attrMeta.attribute.persistentAttributeType is ELEMENT_COLLECTION is detected (I have no idea what the equivalent is in other spring-data modules) the default jackson deserializer type parser is used
