I have a rather exotic use-case that I have to support. Types annotated with @Id need custom deserialization logic, e.g. the value should be Base64 decoded before deserializing it (not the only case).
This means a type such as List<@Id Key> will be represented as a list of Base64 Strings that I deserialize using my custom logic. I originally have an AnnotatedType that I convert to JavaType using TypeFactory.constructType(annotatedType.getType()) prior to deserialization, which of course looses all the annotations. Later, in my custom Deserializers instance, in its various findXXXDeserializer methods, I have no way to find the correct deserializer as the annotations needed for the decision are gone... I was hoping the JDK8 module would have it's own TypeFactory-like mechanism to construct JavaType subclasses that preserve the annotations from AnnotatedTypes (e.g. AnnotatedTypeFactory.constructType(annotatedType)), but it doesn't seem to be the case. Is there any way at all to implement what I'm after? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jackson-user" group.
