Problem

SpringEntityLeakDetector does not seem to support the case when an argument is a Map:

Code

@Controller
public class SpringEntityLeakController  {

	@RequestMapping("/api1")
	public HashMap<String, List<HelloBean>> getHelloBeans() {

		HashMap<String, List<HelloBean>> map = new HashMap<>();

		List<HelloBean> list = new ArrayList<>();

		list.add(new HelloBean("1", "name1"));
		list.add(new HelloBean("2", "name2"));
		map.put("data", list);
		return map;

	}

}

class HelloBean {
	String id;
	String name;



	public HelloBean(String id, String name) {
		super();
		this.id = id;
		this.name = name;
	}

}

We have a similar problem, is there a work-around?
