Null key for a Map not allowed in JSON

There is a particular case, when the uid
field is part of the fields mapping, that causes
Failed to serialize object to JSON
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: Null key for a Map not allowed in JSON (use a converting
NullKeySerializer?) (through reference chain: java.util.LinkedHashMap["users"]->java.util.HashMap["null"])
on https://github.com/xwikisas/application-ldapuserimport/blob/main/application-ldapuserimport-api/src/main/java/com/xwiki/ldapuserimport/internal/DefaultLDAPUserImportManager.java#L289.
For example, if the uid
is sn
and the mapping contains last_name=sn
.
This can happen when the uid
is sn
because there is a default mapping (first_name=givenName,last_name=sn,email=mail
) that improves the usability of the application (it can work without configuring the mapping on UI) and it can also happen when the administrator explicitly configures the mapping to contain it.
What is needed here is a better way of building the users Map.
