I am trying to introduce the JsonCreator with extra attributes: animalType.
But it seemed the Factory constructor is never being called?
*@JsonCreator*
*public static Animal factoryDataSource(@JsonProperty("animalType")
AnimalType animalType){*
* if (animalType == AnimalType.Dog){*
* return new Dog();*
* }*
* else{*
* return new Cat();*
* }*
*}*
By the way, I am working on AS 5.3.0. Appreciated for your advice.
Kind Regards, Wenxing
