title: Jackson Unexpected character ('h' (code 104)): expected a valid value
body: <p>I am accessing a REST API using an URL which gives me the following JSON result:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{"size":1,"filter":{"applicationName":"xx.x1",
  "fromTimestamp":1261746800000,
  "toTimestamp":1361833200000,
  "company":"xx",
  "groupedBy":"COMPANY_APPLICATION"},
  
  "values"[{"applicationName":"xx.x1","count":17,"company":"xx"}],
  "start":0,"limit":25,"lastPage":true} 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Using Jackson i try to parse the json this way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>          ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); 
  
        try {
          ErrorDataRest error = mapper.readValue(url, ErrorDataRest.class);
          Map&lt;String,Object&gt; map = mapper.readValue(url, Map.class);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Dosn't matter if i use the first or the second, i get this exception:</p>

  <p>I have no idea what is wrong or how to fix it.</p>
  
  <p>i have no acces to the rest API, but i know it uses RESTeasy.</p>
  
  <p>The only thing i want is to map the JSON response to a Java class, so perhaps there is some other way to do it?</p>
