Allow JsonSubTypes binding of several subtypes to one class

[TehBakker]

I've something like :
@JsonTypeInfo(use = Id.NAME, include = As.PROPERTY, property = "type")
@JsonSubTypes({@JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Mammal.class, name = "Dog"),
@JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Mammal.class, name = "Cat"),
@JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Bird.class, name = "Dodo"},
@JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Bird.class, name = "Cockatoo"})
public class Animal {

}

What I'm seeing right now is that Jackson will only recognize the Dog-to-Mammal and the Dodo-to-Bird mapping. This is because StdSubtypeResolver._collectAndResolve() only allows the same class to get registered once (due to the implementation of NamedType.equals()).

Based on the question at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18394819/jackson-polymorphism-how-to-map-multiple-subtypes-to-the-same-class following StaxMan advice to create an issue.

Duplicate of #312, I think.

Yep, so if i get it right this won't be implemented and i've to make my own deserializer?

[cowtowncoder]

Not at all, it means that I just want to keep one issue open for same underlying problem. :-)

So I hope that #312 does get implemented eventually. But it has not yet been implemented.

But given that it has not yet been fixed, you may have to write your own deserializer in the meantime (even if implemented, it'd go at earliest in 2.5.0, so it also depends on timing).

Oh sorry, i missread the link that was made from #312 to #652 with the closed icon for #652.
Glad it's not closed.

Thanks for your quick replies. ;)
Yep I'll work something around!
