Deserializing the firs

Answer 1

There is no support currently for builder pattern, although it has been requested quite a while ago (and finally Jira issue http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JACKSON-469 was filed) -- it is something that may be added for 1.8 release if there is enough demand (make sure to vote at Jira!). It is a reasonable additional feature, and only delayed by amount of time developers have. But I think it would be great addition.
