在用jackson-core-asl-1.9.10.jar和jackson-mapper-asl-1.9.10.jar两个包做json字符串转换Pojo对象时报如下异常：

org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonMappingException:  Can not deserialize instance of java.util.List out of START_OBJECT token

Java代码如下：

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

String myajsonstr = "{"myname":{"first":"yu2","last":"shibo2"},"myflag":false,"myversion":"version-1.1","myage":31,"mygender":"FAMALE"}";

List myListBean = mapper.readValue(myajsonstr, new TypeReference>(){});

运行后的信息如下：

org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonMappingException: Can not deserialize instance of java.util.List out of START_OBJECT token

上述问题在网上搜了好久都没找到解决的办法，最后只能根据报错信息去查jackson的API文档，这个过程比较痛苦，就是一个一个的做实验，根据错误信息中的 Can not deserialize instance of java.util.List out of START_OBJECT token这一句基本可以断定是类信息不能被反序列化，到jackson的API文档里( http://jackson.codehaus.org/1.8.8/javadoc/index.html )找到DeserializationConfig.Feature这个Enum类，发现其中有个ACCEPT_SINGLE_VALUE_AS_ARRAY属性，大致翻译了一下给的解释，意思是反序列化的作用是确定是否强制让非数组模式的json字符串与java集合类型相匹配。

【解决方法】：在 List myListBean = mapper.readValue(myajsonstr, new TypeReference>(){});这句之前加上mapper.configure(DeserializationConfig.Feature.ACCEPT_SINGLE_VALUE_AS_ARRAY, true);这句， DeserializationConfig.Feature.ACCEPT_SINGLE_VALUE_AS_ARRAY属性默认值是false，其中的 MyAnotherJsonBean.java是笔者迎合json字符串自定义的Pojo类，里面就是基本属性和set、get方法
