Version of google-http-java-client

The one that's embedded in google-api-java-client 1.4.1-beta

Java environment (e.g. Java 6, Android 2.3, App Engine 1.4.3)?
All

Describe the problem.

package my.pkg;

class A {
@key
String foo;
}

class B extends A {
@key
Integer foo;
}

When attempting to anHttpResponse.parseAs(B.class), google-java-api-client complains like this:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: two fields have the same name : public java.lang.String my.pkg.A.foo and public java.lang.Integer my.pkg.B.foo
at com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkArgument(Preconditions.java:115) ... etc.

How would you expect it to be fixed?

Because the intent of B.foo is to hide A.foo, google-http-java-client should only consider B.foo to be of interest for parsing, even though the java.lang.reflection API does give it complete information about the definitions of foo, and both classes use the @key annotation.
