Summary
I have a (superclass) that overloads a set method for one of it's properties. It's simply for convenience. The Java driver gets confused and can't differentiate the set method for the actual property type verse the signature for the alternate.
An example would be:
public class Dataset { @BsonProperty("property") protected List<String> property; public Dataset() { } @BsonCreator public Dataset(@BsonProperty("property") List<String> property) { this.property = property; } public List<String> getProperty() { return property; } public void setProperty(List<String> property) { this.property = property; } /** * This method is a problem. * @param property */ public void setProperty(String property) { if (this.property == null) { this.property = new ArrayList<>(); } this.property.add(property); } } }
