Attribute that will eventually be stored into a JsonB column

Support
#1

What If the Entity contains an attribute that will eventually be stored into a JsonB column ( I have written a Converter for the commit operation ), how to perform deserialization of the request body in such a case. The Controller method is throwing

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: JsonObject
com.google.gson.JsonElement.getAsString(JsonElement.java:179)
com.haulmont.cuba.core.app.serialization.EntitySerialization$EntityDeserializer.readSimpleProperty(EntitySerialization.java:583)

because it is expecting a String, not a nested Json for the Entity attribute. Please note attribute has ‘String’ type in Entity class definition as JsonObject seems to be unacceptable.

How to perform the operation ?

Where does the JSON that is used for deserialization come from? Is the attribute value is a JSON string (surrounded by quotes) or a JSON object?
