Is there a way to deserialize json into complex objects with spring mvc 3.1?

As you say that your complex objects serialized successfully before, I can guess that your Spring config files are okay and Jackson is configured properly. I think that you don't need to create a separate serializer/deserializer for MyForm class.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
