Along the lines of what Tomáš Záluský has suggested, in cases where using BeanDeserializerModifier is undesirable you can construct a default deserializer yourself using BeanDeserializerFactory, although there is some extra setup necessary. In context, this solution would look like so:

public User deserialize(JsonParser jp, DeserializationContext ctxt)
  throws IOException, JsonProcessingException {

    ObjectCodec oc = jp.getCodec();
    JsonNode node = oc.readTree(jp);
    User deserializedUser = null;

    DeserializationConfig config = ctxt.getConfig();
    JavaType type = TypeFactory.defaultInstance().constructType(User.class);
    JsonDeserializer
