job execution context is not saved properly

[RobertGloverJr]

The problem I have is that the job execution context is not saved properly: I
have a class that has a String attribute; in my particular scenario the value
of that field is actually a number, but with a leading zero (021038831); when
saved to the batch_job_execution_context table the leading zero is lost;
that means that in case I need to restart the job it will be restarted with an
invalid context;

Here is the code for my class

public class Obligation implements Serializable{
	
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 3044514607425389560L;
	
	private long obligationId;
	private String funderABA;
	private Date recordDate;
	private Date paymentDate;
	private Date balanceDate;
	private Notification notification;
	private BigDecimal totalFundingAmount;
	private Collection<PayoutPattern> payoutPatterns = new ArrayList<PayoutPattern>();
	
	.... snip ....
	public String getFunderABA() {
		return funderABA;
	}
	public void setFunderABA(String funderABA) {
		this.funderABA = funderABA;
	}
      .... snip ....
}

The field with the problem is funderABA.

And this is the value persisted in the short_context column of batch_job_execution_context.
(you will see the within the code below: "funderABA":21038831 )

{"map":{"entry":{"string":"Obligation","frb.ny.sec.pni.model.Obligation":
{"obligationId":5339,"funderABA":21038831,"recordDate":{"@class":"sql-
date","$":"2009-09-01"},"paymentDate":{"@class":"sql-
date","$":"2009-09-25"},"balanceDate":{"@class":"sql-
date","$":"2009-08-31"},"notification":{"notificationId":5339,"payoutDate":
{"@class":"sql-date","$":"2009-09-25"},"reportDate":{"@class":"sql-
date","$":"2009-09-18"}},"totalFundingAmount":1.207551898606E10,"payoutP
atterns":{"@class":"list","frb.ny.sec.pni.model.PayoutPattern":
[{"incrementNo":1,"percentage":30},{"incrementNo":2,"percentage":30},
{"incrementNo":3,"percentage":40}]}}}}}

You will notice that the value of the funderABA field does not have the leading zero.
I'm using spring batch 2.0.4.

That's a bug in Jettison. I think it might be fixed, so can you upgrade to 1.1 and see if it works?
