    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `java.util.Collection<NamedType>` | `collectAndResolveSubtypes(AnnotatedClass baseType, MapperConfig<?> config, AnnotationIntrospector ai)` Deprecated. Since 2.6 Use either `collectAndResolveSubtypesByClass(MapperConfig, AnnotatedClass)` or `collectAndResolveSubtypesByTypeId(MapperConfig, AnnotatedClass)` instead.
    `java.util.Collection<NamedType>` | `collectAndResolveSubtypes(AnnotatedMember property, MapperConfig<?> config, AnnotationIntrospector ai, JavaType baseType)` Deprecated. Since 2.6 Use either `collectAndResolveSubtypesByClass(MapperConfig, AnnotatedMember, JavaType)` or `collectAndResolveSubtypesByTypeId(MapperConfig, AnnotatedMember, JavaType)` instead.
    `java.util.Collection<NamedType>` | `collectAndResolveSubtypesByClass(MapperConfig<?> config, AnnotatedClass baseType)` Method for finding out all reachable subtypes for given type, such that access is by type, typically needed for serialization (converting from type to type name).
    `java.util.Collection<NamedType>` | `collectAndResolveSubtypesByClass(MapperConfig<?> config, AnnotatedMember property, JavaType baseType)` Method for finding out all reachable subtypes for a property specified by given element (method or field), such that access is by type, typically needed for serialization (converting from type to type name).
    `java.util.Collection<NamedType>` | `collectAndResolveSubtypesByTypeId(MapperConfig<?> config, AnnotatedClass baseType)` Method for finding out all reachable subtypes for given type, such that access is by type id, typically needed for deserialization (converting from type id to type).
    `java.util.Collection<NamedType>` | `collectAndResolveSubtypesByTypeId(MapperConfig<?> config, AnnotatedMember property, JavaType baseType)` Method for finding out all reachable subtypes for a property specified by given element (method or field), such that access is by type id, typically needed for deserialization (converting from type id to type).
    `abstract void` | `registerSubtypes(java.lang.Class<?>... classes)`
    `abstract void` | `registerSubtypes(NamedType... types)` Method for registering specified subtypes (possibly including type names); for type entries without name, non-qualified class name as used as name (unless overridden by annotation).

    - #### registerSubtypes

          public abstract void registerSubtypes(NamedType... types)

      Method for registering specified subtypes (possibly including type names); for type entries without name, non-qualified class name as used as name (unless overridden by annotation).

    - #### registerSubtypes

          public abstract void registerSubtypes(java.lang.Class<?>... classes)
