It would definitely be great to get a PR for enabling it (along with simple unit test to show functioning), if that turns out doable. As the author I have a feeling there at least was some fundamental challenge to solve that seemed big enough to scare me... but what do I know. :-) (I do not recall details but my guess is that this is due to implementation of external-property-based (de)serialization being rather hairy AND due to builder handling also being somewhat... involved. Rendering combination thereof bit... challenging) -+ Tatu +- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jackson-user" group.
