Description

while printing a nested json using JSON template layout, I'm getting "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: maxDepth has been exceeded" exception.
I tried setting the property value in .XML file below but this is of no use. Please tell me what am I doing wrong here ?
I wish to increase the maxdepth limit
