Parsing Json in scala with extending java class

Question

I have a java class as below

public class JobConfig implements Serializable {
private String appName;
//some other params
public JobConfig() {
}
// getters setters 

I am trying to extend the above java class in scala

class CsvJobConfig extends JobConfig(){
var delimiter =null
//other attributes

Now in main class am trying to parse a json and assign it back to CsvJobConfig .

val is = fileReader.getInputStreamFor(configFileName, configPath, spark)
var jobConfigJson = IOUtils.toString(is, Charset.defaultCharset.name)
val mapper = new ObjectMapper
val config = mapper.readValue(jobConfigJson, classOf[CsvJobConfig]).asInstanceOf[CsvJobConfig]

Below is the sample json am trying to parse

{
"appName":"abc",
"delimiter": "\\|\\|"
}

Although it works fine when tried from java , its giving me below error in scala

    Exception in thread "main" com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.UnrecognizedPropertyException: Unrecognized field "delimiter" (class CsvJobConfig), not marked as ignorable (1 known properties:  ["appName"])

ObjectMapper has to be configured to not to FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES refer below code and also assign type of the variable in the scala class.

class CsvJobConfig extends JobConfig {
  var delimiter: String = null
}

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.{DeserializationFeature, ObjectMapper}
import com.fasterxml.jackson.module.scala.DefaultScalaModule
val mapper = new ObjectMapper()
mapper.registerModule(DefaultScalaModule)
mapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false)
mapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.ACCEPT_SINGLE_VALUE_AS_ARRAY, true)
val config: CsvJobConfig = mapper.readValue("{\"appName\":\"abc\", \"delimiter\": \"\\\\|\\\\|\"}", classOf[CsvJobConfig])
println(config)
println(config.delimiter)
