Is Jackson really unable to deserialize json into a generic type?

Question

This is a duplicate question because the following questions are either messy or they are not answered at all:

Answer 1

public class AgentResponse {

private T result;

public AgentResponse(T result) {
    this.result = result;
}
public T getResult() {
    return result;
}

}

So for the above class structure and T can be of Type T1,T2 class

So to deserialize for AgentResponse, use the following code

JavaType javaType = objectMapper.getTypeFactory.constructParametricType(AgentResponse.class,T1.class)
AgentResponse agentResponseT1 = objectMapper.readValue(inputJson,javaType);
