(Reintroduce #987).
Upon deserializing (
ObjectMapper#treeToValue
), Jackson will firstvalidate the
valueType
for whether ti can be deserialized with the"standard" bean deserializer. This will bail out if there are multiple
ambiguous setters for a given property (they are ambiguous if they have
parameters of non-trivial types, such as
List
, some class, ...).In order to remove the problem, this changes the deserialization path so
that instead of asking for deserialization into the needed instance type
directly,
JsiiObject
will be requested instead when the declared typeis a sub-class of that. Since such types are passed by-reference, the
custom de-serializer modifier will correctly determine the "right" class
to use (the declared type, or a subtype of it), and return this... But
Jackson will not get the chance to be confused or unhappy about that
type's structure.
This was the root cause of aws/aws-cdk#4080
