Description

Unmarshalling the JSON :

{"@xsi.type" : "subClassTest", "id" : "10000000", "name" : null }

should give an instance of SubClassTest.class and the value of the field name(which is a String) should be null, but with the current implementation the value of the field name is String "null" .

This happens only in the case of unmarshalling JSON to a subclass.
