What I want from Jackson

public class SubscriberConfig {
  @JsonValue
  public String name;

  @JsonValue
  public String type;

  @JsonMagicThisIsHowYouShouldResolveMyType
  public Class getClassForJsonNode(HashMap<Object, Object> rawJson) {
    return Class.forName(((String) rawJson).get("type") + "Config");
  }
}

public class AMQSubscriberConfig extends SubscriberConfig {
  @JsonValue
  public String host;
}

public class FileSubscriberConfig extends SubscriberConfig {
  @JsonValue
  public String fileName;
}



{
  "subscribers": [
     {
       "name": "AMQ"
       "type": "com.ning.metrics.AMQSubscriber", // The actual class dealing with AMQ connection
       "host": "127.0.0.1"
     },
     {
       "name": "File"
       "type": "com.ning.metrics.FileSubscriber", // The actual class dealing with File stuff
       "fileName": "/tmp/bleh.dat"
     }
  ]
}
