serializing and deserializing a json object through Lift-JSON

I have a exception from lift-json when I want to deserialize a json string. (using v2M1).

Basically I have the following class:

@BeanInfo
case class Game(val id:Int,
val bad:Map[String,Plan],
val good:Map[String,Plan])

and I am using

net.liftweb.json.Serialization.read[Game](jsonInString) 

to deserialize the jsonInString into a Game case class. Unfortunately I am getting the following error:

net.liftweb.json.MappingException: Can't find primary constructor for class interface scala.collection.immutable.Map

I appreciate your comments, Thanks, -A

PS - I tried v2M2 (snapshot @ 10 Feb, 2010 from Scala-tools.org), the exception gone but the serialization is not correct ! See the comments belo开发者_开发知识库w.

Support to serialize scala.Map was just added a few days ago. It will be in Lift-2.0-M2 which is released in a day or two. If you need that feature now you can try nightly snapshot.

Note, @BeanInfo and explicit vals are not needed in case classes. You can just define:

case class Game(id: Int, bad: Map[String, Plan], good:Map[String,Plan])
