[Simple-support] stating the deserialization strategy on a class using annotation

[hatchetman82 <hat...@gm...>]

Hi.

we use simple-xml to (de)serialize entity classes for out
application's REST api (using resteasy).
as part of the RESTeay api, there's an interface called
MessageBodyReader responsible for deserializing XML into a java class
with the following signature:
public Object readFrom(Class type, /* stuff omitted */, InputStream
inputStream);
deserializing some of our classes requires custom Strategy
implementations, which turns the implementation of the above method
int a giant switchboard of if-elses according to the type variable. it
would be very nice to be able to have some sort of
@DeserializationStrategy(value=[some strategy class]) annotation on
simple-xml-annotated classes to prevent this scenario.
is this possible?
if so, is it on the roadmap anywhere?

thanks in advance for any assistance,
   radai.
