Can you configure Spring controller specific Jackson deserialization?
<p>I need to add a custom Jackson deserializer for java.lang.String to my Spring 4.1.x MVC application. However all answers (such as <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3591291/spring-jackson-and-customization-e-g-customdeserializer">this</a>) refer to configuring the ObjectMapper for the complete web application and the changes will apply to all Strings across all @RequestBody in all controllers.</p>

<p>I only want to apply the custom deserialization to @RequestBody arguments used within particular controllers. Note that I don't have the option of using @JsonDeserialize annotations for the specific String fields.</p>

<p>Can you configure custom deserialization for specific controllers only?</p>
