title: How to automatically parse String @RequestBody as json
body: <p>I have an endpoint which should read a string value as body.</p>
  
  <pre><code>@RestController
  public class EndpointsController {
     @RequestMapping( method = RequestMethod.PUT, value = "api/{myId}/name", consumes= MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON )
     public String updateName( @PathVariable( MY_ID ) String myId, @RequestBody String name) {
  
       //will be: "new name"
       //instead of : newname
       return myId;
     }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My problem is, that client will call this with "new name" which is correct IMHO but the server reads this with the quotes, because it does not handle the string as a json object. How can I tell Jackson to parse the string as well (same way than it does with Pojos)? </p>
