Jackson：从 XSD 生成 Jackson 类

Question

Similar to JAXB generating JAXB classes to a given XSD, does Jackson provide any utility to generate Jackson classes from XSD or JSON.

JAXB class geberator has generated a set of classes for XSD schema defined. For example, for polymorphic types JAXB has the following annotation to identify the name based on XML Element name.

@XmlElements({
    @XmlElement(name = "Dog", type = Dog.class),
    @XmlElement(name = "Cat", type = Cat.class)
})
protected List<Animal> animal;

Is it possible to create similar classes in Jackson. ie., to identify the type based in XML element name.
