JSON Jackon deserialze filepath (String) in json to File object in java -

i using object mapper jackson map json file nested set of java beans. nested beans , string, integer , enum objects correctly set in based on defined in json.

some of string represent filepath , nice have jackon object mapper directly map filepath string java file object.

is possibly?

i think, works default. please, see example:

import java.io.file; import java.io.ioexception;  import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.jsonfactory; import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.jsonparser; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.objectmapper;  public class jacksonprogram {      public static void main(string[] args) throws ioexception {         objectmapper objectmapper = new objectmapper();         jsonfactory jsonfactory = new jsonfactory();         jsonparser parser = jsonfactory.createjsonparser("{\"id\":\"1s200d\", \"path\":\"/tmp/test/file.txt\"}");         entity employee = objectmapper.readvalue(parser, entity.class);         system.out.println(employee);     } }  class entity {      private string id;     private file path;      public string getid() {         return id;     }      public void setid(string id) {         this.id = id;     }      public file getpath() {         return path;     }      public void setpath(file path) {         this.path = path;     }      @override     public string tostring() {         return "entity [id=" + id + ", path=" + path + "]";     } } 

as can see, declared property file.
