UUID serialized as "binary" (base64 encoded) with convertValue()

(see comments for issue #310)

It seems like there is a case where java.util.UUID is being accidentally serialized "as binary". I am guessing this is due to use of TokenBuffer, during conversions.

@cowtowncoder thanks! and yes, an UUID is accidentally serialized as binary. While debugging I can see that is because the use of TokenBuffer.

thanks again

Fixed; now TokenBuffer will get String representation of UUID, not raw binary one; this allows expected conversion.

Is there any workaround for this bug?

[jknack]

Not sure, for now I just downgrade to 2.2.x

[cowtowncoder]

FWIW, fix for this will be in 2.3.1.

Since this only affects cases where TokenBuffer is used -- such as ObjectMapper.convertValue() -- one work-around is to do actual serialization into JSON, then reading back; this avoids use of TokenBuffer.

Thanks, I have downgraded to 2.2.3 till 2.3.1 release
