Crash in RKObjectMapper element comparison (more error handling) about restkit

Greg -

I really need some JSON structures that exercise this particular branch of the code to consider this for merging. Right now I am planning out a large refactoring of the object mapper in coming weeks and I need to get unit tests in place for any behavior that needs to be maintained. I can't really merge this not knowing what cases it handles.

Understood. Tracking it down it looks like it may be related to nsdate conversion in restkit and strings (not dates) as the property type in the object model. This bit of code just forces a set without trying to compare: two different property types. If one is a string, it would otherwise try to use isEqualToString: beteen a number and string, causing an exception.

If no one has complained about this then don't worry, I'm comfortable plugging it in for my merges.

This issue was nullified by subsequent changes in the mapper.
