Deserialise an array of JSON objects to a list of strings

I have a scenario where I need to deserialise a JSON array to a list of strings.

My class is:

public class Pojo {  
  private String message;  
  private ArrayList<String> details;  
}

JSON payload:

{
"message":"some value",
"details":[]    
}

If I try to deserialise the below JSON, it works:

{
"message":"working example",
"details": [ 
"First element of the array", 
"Second element"
]
}

In this case:

details = ["First element of the array", "Second element"]

If the array contains JSON objects as elements it will fail with MismatchedInputException:

{
  "message":"working example",
  "details":[ 
    {"First":"Value"}, 
    "Second element"
]}

For the second example, I'm expecting

details = ["{\"First\":\"Value\"}", "Second element"] 

Is there a quick way to do this?
