How to annotate enum fields for deserialization using Jackson json

by

If you are using Jackson 1.9, serialization would be done by:

public enum BooleanField {
   BOOLEAN_TRUE("1")
   ;

   // either add @JsonValue here (if you don't need getter)
   private final String value;

   private BooleanField(String value) { this.value = value; }

   // or here
   @JsonValue public String value() { return value; }

so change you need is to add method to Enum type itself, so all values have it. Not sure if it would work on subtype.

For @JsonCreator, having a static factory method would do it; so adding something like:

@JsonCreator
public static BooleanField forValue(String v) { ... }

Jackson 2.0 will actually support use of just @JsonValue for both, including deserialization.
