Mechanism required to customize schema for object property

[rpdai]

If I have a custom annotation on the property of an object, this cannot be visited as the JsonFormatVisitorWrapper takes only the type of the property. I've looked also at subclassing ObjectSchema but since this takes the property name as a String only, seems I'd have to do some reflection to get back to the property itself.

I can see a significant number of use cases of wanting to customize a schema being related to the information associated with an object property (custom annotations, documentation, validation, etc.). My particular use-case is that the schema should provide some information for client-side validation, from the bean validation API.

I've seen threads suggesting that this would be possible (http://jackson-users.ning.com/forum/topics/json-schema-generation-with-jackson-module-jsonschema, http://jackson-users.ning.com/forum/topics/handling-a-custom-annotation-when-generating-json-schema) but I can't see it, myself.

Is there some mechanism I'm missing?
