title: Deserialize json in java with static field
body: <p>I have a class with a field which I would like to be static. Is there anyway I can use jackson to create an instance of this class? Right now jackson is ignoring the static field.</p>
  
  <p>Here is an example.</p>
  
  <p>Json:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
   "index": "xyz"
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>JavaClass:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Foo {
    private static String index;
    ..
    ..
  }
  </code></pre>
