Polymorphic Request based on Json Properties

This app illustrates deserialization of a json request to appropriate sub-typed POJO, based on properties.

Given, different type of animal request POSTed to the api hosted at http://localhost:8081/animals, it returns the greetings based on type of animals

Note: Currently handles only dog and cat types.

How to test

Well, all the relevant tests are already present in there :)

The decision on selection of which sub-type class to be dematerialized to, is made on the property type. So "type": dog would serialize to Dog class, whereas "type": cat would serialize to the respect Cat class.

• Say we give a dog type json request as follows

  {
    "type": "dog",
    "name": "Dennis",
    "breed": "St. Bernard"
  }

  When sent a post request with above json, it greets the way a loving dog would :)

• Change the value of "type" key to cat and see how she reacts...
