Jackson enum Serializing and DeSerializer

by

I’m using JAVA 1.6 and Jackson 1.9.9 I’ve got an enum

public enum Event {
    FORGOT_PASSWORD("forgot password");

    private final String value;

    private Event(final String description) {
        this.value = description;
    }

    @JsonValue
    final String value() {
        return this.value;
    }
}

I’ve added a @JsonValue, this seems to do the job it serializes the object into:

{"event":"forgot password"}

but when I try to deserialize I get a

Caused by: org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonMappingException: Can not construct instance of com.globalrelay.gas.appsjson.authportal.Event from String value 'forgot password': value not one of declared Enum instance names

What am I missing here?
