I try to load the following yaml sequence : – Person(paul): firstName: Paul lastName:

  • 0

I try to load the following yaml sequence :

- Person(paul):
firstName: Paul
lastName: Lumbergh
children :
    - Person(bill)
    - Person(jane)

which i tried to load in the following bean :

public class Person {

private long id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private Person father;
private Set<Person> children;
}

I got this error which is due to the fact that snakeYaml load my sequence in a java.util.List instead of java.util.Set.

Is it a way to force snakeYAML to load a sequence in a java.util.Set ?

org.yaml.snakeyaml.error.YAMLException: org.yaml.snakeyaml.error.YAMLException: Cannot set property='children' with value='[Person [firstName=Bill, secondName=Lumbergh], Person [firstName=Jane, secondName=Lumbergh]]' (class java.util.ArrayList) in Person [firstName=Paul, secondName=Lumbergh]

    According to the yaml specification the set syntax is the following one :

    - Person(paul): 
      firstName: Paul 
      lastName: Lumbergh 
      children : !!set ? Person(bill) ? Person(jane) –
