I have a JAX-RS resource, which gets its paramaters as a JSON string like this:

http://some.test/aresource?query={"paramA":"value1", "paramB":"value2"}

The reason to use JSON here, is that the query object can be quite complex in real use cases.

I'd like to convert the JSON string to a Java object, dto in the example:

@GET 
@Produces("text/plain")
public String getIt(@QueryParam("query") DataTransferObject dto ) {
    ...
}

Does JAX-RS support such a conversion from JSON passed as a query param to Java objects?
