Infer alternate type rules using serializers and deserializers

[justcoon]

if in request body is used interface, only with getters, with custom serialization and deserialization

@Value.Immutable 
@JsonSerialize(as =  ImmutableCreateRoleCommand.class)
@JsonDeserialize(as = ImmutableCreateRoleCommand.class)
public interface CreateRoleCommand  {
 String getAggregateId();
 String getName();
}

@RestController
public class RoleController {

    @ApiOperation(httpMethod = "POST", value = "create role", response = RoleAggregate.class)
    @RequestMapping(path =  "/role/create", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    RoleAggregate createRole(@RequestBody CreateRoleCommand command) {
       ...
    }
}

model is not detected correctly

problem is probably in implementation of

springfox.documentation.schema.property.OptimizedModelPropertiesProvider

method: BeanDescription beanDescription(ResolvedType type, ModelContext context)

Create an alternate type rule to map CreateRoleCommand.class to ImmutableCreateRoleCommand.class. Springfox cannot infer serializers, may be it should but as of now its not supported. So you need to assist it by telling it what your object looks like.

As a followup to this feature request, could someone take a look at this link and let me know if it's the same problem? I'm finding it a bit hard to read from context. If so, could you also elaborate on "Create an alternate type rule to map A to B" in the previous comment? I'm struggling to find documentation on how to do this.
Thank you.
