Hi,

I would like to take my custom annotation into account when
deserializing an instance of the following class:

class MyClass {
private int value1 = 1;
private String value2 = "abc";

@MyAnnotation
@SomeOtherAnnotationThatSpecifiesACustomFormatting
private SomeType value3;
}

Is this possible?

Best regards,
Andy.

At the moment, there is no way to register a custom action for a
specific annotation.
However, that seems like a really useful thing. I have added that as
one of the things we would look to support in Gson 1.7.
