I have an API hosted/written in DropWizard. It consumes JSON and works well

```
@POST
public void somePost(SomeObject object)

```

Where `SomeObject` is a pojo. Jackson deserialises JSON into the object without a problem.

To future proof the "calling code" that uses this API I started to add some properties that are not yet in `SomeObject`. However (presumably Jackson) now throws an "error parsing json" error.

I would like to relax the rules a bit so that Jackson is a bit more tolerant about fields that it doesn't recognise in the incoming JSON (GSON does that by default). I tried `@JsonIgnoreProperties` class level annotation but no luck.

Thanks in advance.
