You're right, forgot init(), however, the following code prints "LinkedHashMap". If I uncomment setDefaultTyping(..) it prints "Exception" correctly. So still, polymorphic serialisation can't be controlled for an Object target type.
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonTypeInfo; import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonTypeInfo.As; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JavaType; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper.DefaultTypeResolverBuilder; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper.DefaultTyping; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.json.JsonMapper; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.jsontype.impl.LaissezFaireSubTypeValidator; public class Main4 { public static void main(String[] args) throws java.io.IOException, ClassNotFoundException { ObjectMapper mapper = JsonMapper.builder().activateDefaultTyping( LaissezFaireSubTypeValidator.instance, DefaultTyping.NON_FINAL, As.PROPERTY).build(); DefaultTypeResolverBuilder typeResolver = new DefaultTypeResolverBuilder(DefaultTyping.NON_FINAL) { @Override public boolean useForType(JavaType t) { return Throwable.class.isAssignableFrom(t.getRawClass()); } }; typeResolver.init(JsonTypeInfo.Id.CLASS, null); typeResolver.inclusion(JsonTypeInfo.As.PROPERTY); mapper.setDefaultTyping(typeResolver); *// comment this* String json=mapper.writeValueAsString(new Exception("Test")); System.out.println(mapper.readValue(json, Object.class).getClass()); *// prints LinkedHashMap* } } By the way, you might replace NoCheckSubTypeValidator with LaissezFaireSubTypeValidator and delete NoCheckSubTypeValidator, as it it completely equivalent.
