Add post-processing (deserialization) hook, like @JsonPostDeserialize

Tatu, hello;

I am using mapper policy like one shown below;

what I am missing is @JsonMandatory annotation which would distinguish few fields in the bean which MUST be present for the deserializer to succed;(most other fields are already annotated with @JsonProperty and are optional)

or am I missing some hidden feature?

thank you.

Andrei.
