Hi All,

I want to store a Map<String, String> into a Pega property.
Can anyone provide me with an example?

What should the property type be? Java Object?
And how to set the value?

Background

We need to send a message out via another system, that is build in Java. We communicate via a axual-stream and we need to produce a message according to this format:

{
    "type": "record",
    "name": "OutboundMessage",
    "fields": [{
        "name": "timestamp",
        "type": "long"
    }{
        "name": "messageType",
        "type": {
            "type": "string",
            "avro.java.string": "String"
        }
    },
    {
        "name": "params",
        "type": {
            "type": "map",
            "values": {
                "type": "string",
                "avro.java.string": "String"
            },
            "avro.java.string": "String"
        }
    }]
}

The timestamp & messageType are not the issue. 
But in params, the consumer expects { "param1" : "Some value", "param2" : "some other value" } 
 

If I try to store that, the serialization gives an error, because the value becomes:
"{ \"param1\" : \"Some value\", \"param2\" : \"some other value\" }"

Hopefully someone can help out by telling me what the property type should be, and how to store the values in there.

Thanks!
