Deserializing List of Objects with Mirah for Codename One

Question

I am trying to use mirah for JSON to POJO mapping in an codenameone application. It works finde when i want to map a Simple JSON like
{"id":"1","name":"foo","classification":"10"}
With this class:

public class Brand {
    private String id; 
    private String name;
    private String classification;

    public String getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(String id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getClassification() {
        return classification;
    }

    public void setClassification(String classification) {
        this.classification = classification;
    }    
}

Now I want to wrap it in a Message Object, where i have a list of brands:

import java.util.List;

public class Message { 
    public List<Brand> brands;

    public List<Brand> getBrands() {
        return brands;
    }

    public void setBrands(List<Brand> brands) {
        this.brands = brands;
    }        
}

I use this Mirah Script for mapping:

data_mapper Message:MessageMapper
data_mapper Brand:BrandMapper

like shannah described here.

My code where I call my Webservice:

    MessageMapper scheduleMapper = new MessageMapper();
    DataMapper.createContext(Arrays.asList(
            scheduleMapper,
            new BrandMapper()
        ), new DataMapper.Decorator() {

        public void decorate(DataMapper mapper) {
            mapper.setReadKeyConversions(Arrays.asList(DataMapper.CONVERSION_NONE));
        }
    });



    try {
    Message  message = scheduleMapper.readJSONFromURL("http://localhost/php-REST-DigitaleMusterplatte/api.php/brands", Message.class);
        System.out.println(message);
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        Log.e(ex);
    }

This is the json response:
{"brands":[{"id":"1","name":"foo","classification":"10"},{"id":"2","name":"bar","classification":"20"}]}

I get this exception:

The demo application OSCONScheduler works fine.

This looks like a bug. But try changing brands to be private instead of public. It could be getting confused over whether to use your accessor/mutable or to use the public var.
