How can I retrieve a child property using @JsonProperty?

Question

I have the following metadata for the artist Joseph Turner:

{ "activePlaceCount":0, "birth":{ "place":{ "name":"London, United Kingdom", "placeName":"London", "placeType":"inhabited_place" }, "time":{ "startYear":1775 } }, "birthYear":1775, "date":"1775\u20131851", "death":{ "place":{ "name":"Chelsea, United Kingdom", "placeName":"Chelsea", "placeType":"neighbourhood" }, "time":{ "startYear":1851 } }, "fc":"Joseph Mallord William Turner", "gender":"Male", "id":558, "mda":"Turner, Joseph Mallord William", "movements":[ { "era":{ "id":290, "name":"18th century" }, "id":345, "name":"Picturesque" }, { "era":{ "id":350, "name":"19th century" }, "id":364, "name":"Romanticism" }, { "era":{ "id":290, "name":"18th century" }, "id":349, "name":"Sublime" } ], "startLetter":"T", "totalWorks":41861, "url":"http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/joseph-mallord-william-turner-558" }

If I wanted to map fc to firstName in my Java program, I could simply do the following:

@JsonProperty("fc") private String fullName;

That, or private String fc.

What would I do if wanted to retrieve "death"."time"."startYear"?

Not (easily) with jackson objectmapper but you could use different libraries especially if you're interested in just reading json: github.com/jayway/JsonPath — zapl

Based on this SO answer, it is currently not possible to create an annotation of this sort, but it is a ticket for the future (updates of Java).
