I have a Spring Boot (2.1.1) app that is modeling ActivityStreams <https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary> objects and for the most part Jackson's (2.9.7) Polymorphic Deserialization works well.
There are 'objects' in the JSON which are references (links) and not JSON objects with type information. For instance "actor":"https://some.actors.href/ rather than "actor":{ "type":"Actor", "name":"SomeActor" } I've written custom deserializers and and placed them on the fields to deal with this @JsonDeserialize (using = ActorOrLinkDeserializer.class) private Actor actor; However my ActorOrLinkDeserializer is instantiated but never called and Jackson complains with Missing type id when trying to resolve subtype of [simple type, class org.w3.activity.streams.Actor]: missing type id property 'type' (for POJO property 'actor') which is from the polymorphic deserializer. It appears that the polymorphic deserialization code takes precedence over my local @JsonDeserialize annotation and I need a way to force my code to have precedence when a @JsonDeserializer annotated field is encounted. I've tried using my own ObjectMapper with a SimpleModule and get the same result. I'd appreciate pointers and suggestions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jackson-user" group.
