Annotation Type JsonTypeIdResolver

  • @Target({ANNOTATION_TYPE,METHOD,FIELD,TYPE,PARAMETER})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface JsonTypeIdResolver
    Annotation that can be used to plug a custom type identifier handler (TypeIdResolver) to be used by TypeSerializers and TypeDeserializers for converting between java types and type id included in JSON content. In simplest cases this can be a simple class with static mapping between type names and matching classes.

    NOTE: since 2.4, applicable to properties as well (should have been long time ago, but problem only found then)
