Jackson custom deserializer for one field with polymorphic types
Jackson processes @JsonTypeInfo before choosing which Deserializer to use, probably because the choice of Deserializer could depend generally on the type. However, you can easily disable this on a per-field basis the same way you specify custom Deserializer - by annotating the field directly:
@JsonDeserialize(using = DefinitionDeserializer.class)@JsonTypeInfo(use = JsonTypeInfo.Id.NONE)private Definition definition;
