question/issue about reading Object as JsonObject

question/issue about reading object as JsonObject (instead of empty java.lang.Obect)
From Davide Pellegatta

It’s about object mapping in spring-data-couchbase for very generic objects:
@DaTa
@with
@AllArgsConstructor
@NoArgsConstructor
@document
public class Note {
@id
private String id;
private Map<String, Object> json;
}

basically my customer would like to work with something like this. I don’t think it’s possible to make it work. But I’d like to double check this
I already point them to CouchbaseTemplate for this, but at the same time I’d want to be sure as this with the mongo implementation works just fine.

Couchbase does not currently read it as a Map - it would need to assume that an Object is a map like this: (about line 353 in MappingCouchbaseConverter)

 	protected Map<Object, Object> readMap(final TypeInformation<?> type, final CouchbaseDocument source,
			final Object parent) 
.
.
.

			TypeInformation<?> valueType = type.getMapValueType();
			if (value instanceof CouchbaseDocument) {
				if (valueType.getType().equals(Object.class)) {
					map.put(key, readMap(type, (CouchbaseDocument) value, source));
				} else {
					map.put(key, read(valueType, (CouchbaseDocument) value, parent));
				}

Thank you Mike! do you think this is something worth adding or better go for a custom converter?
