Configure Jackson to use name property of @XmlRootElement

I have a java bean that uses the JAXB annotation: @XmlRootElement(name="beanName"). Is there a way to configure jackson to use the name property of the @XmlRootElement annotation when deserializing?

Yes, like this

@JacksonXmlRootElement(localName = "SOMETHING_ELSE")
public class MyClass
{
}

One thing I've done to make sure that Jackson uses the @XMLRootElement of a class is to set the provider class to be JacksonJaxbJsonProvider (rather than, e.g. JacksonJsonProvider). This can be done in a number of ways, depending on what JAX-RS implementation you are using, and whether the code is client side or server side.

Looks like this is available in Jackson 1.7:

See last comment.
