java.util.LinkedHashMap cannot be cast to java.lang.String (RestTemplate)

Getting a Casting Exception on the Object returned from the API Call. I am using Spring's RestTemplate to make the API Calls. I know the reason why but unsure about the best solution. The error is on the following line:

The following fails with Exception:

Map map = restTemplate.postForObject(buildUri(yqlQuery),request, LinkedHashMap.class);

And this too:

Profile profile = restTemplate.postForObject(buildUri(yqlQuery),request, Profile.class);;

Exception

The problem had to do with casting on YahooErrorHandler.java:50

Should be using toString() instead of direct cast on following line: 

errorText = (String) errorMap.get("error");

Correct: 

errorText = errorMap.get("error").toString();
