Jackson – Deserialize Generic class variable

You will need to build JavaType explicitly, if generic type is only dynamically available:

// do NOT create new ObjectMapper per each request!
final ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

public Json<T> void deSerialize(Class<T> clazz, InputStream json) {
    return mapper.readValue(json,
      mapper.getTypeFactory().constructParametricType(Json.class, clazz));
}
