Custom Jackson Deserializer Getting Access to Current Field Class

Question

I\'m trying to write a custom deserializer for Jackson and I want to make it generic (generic in the sense of working on any type, not as in \"generics\").

However I

Answer 1

I have solved my particular problem by adding an implementation of Deserializers to the ObjectMapper. Eg

   Deserializers d = new Deserializers.Base() {

   @Override
   public JsonDeserializer findEnumDeserializer(Class type, DeserializationConfig config, BeanDescription beanDesc, BeanProperty property)
                  throws JsonMappingException {
                if (property.getType().getContentType() != null)
                    return new EnumDeserializer(property.getType().getContentType().getRawClass());
                return new EnumDeserializer(property.getType().getRawClass());
            }

        };
        mapper.setDeserializerProvider(mapper.getDeserializerProvider().withAdditionalDeserializers(d));

This will return my custom EnumDeserializer instantiated for each separate Enum type.
