Description

(idea came via jackson-users.ning.com discussion, suggested by Henrik Lundgren)
—
It would be nice to be able to do inverse of @JsonAnySetter – define a method that returns a Map (or possibly just collection of Map.Entry instances, or even just iterator?) and entries would be serialized as main-level attributes of enclosing object on serialization.

Although it would be possible to further generalize this idea (@JsonUnwrap?), for now it may be best value for development time to implement this in more limited form.

Note: JACKSON-132 is related; this issue can be seen as subset of it.

Also, note that both @JsonAnyGetter and @JsonAnySetter should be applicable to Map fields.

Implemented in trunk, for 1.6.0. Initially will only support Map-returning methods, did not expand to support fields or bean types (for any-getter where this could be done theoretically).
Can be expanded if and when actually needed by an user.
