Is there a global Jackson setting for @JsonIgnoreProperties(unknown=true)?

Is there a global Jackson setting/configuration so that I do not have to annotate every class with @JsonIgnoreProperties(unknown=true)?

Answer

This should do the job:

objectMapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);

See the APIs for ObjectMapper and DeserializationFeature for more information.
