This test demonstrates the issue where wildcard generic types (e.g., MessageWrapper<?>) incorrectly resolve to Object instead of respecting the type parameter's bound (e.g., Settings). This causes polymorphic type information to be lost during serialization when @JsonTypeInfo annotations are used.

Summary
This PR adds a failing test that reproduces issue #5285, where wildcard generic types (e.g.,
MessageWrapper<?>) incorrectly resolve toObjectinstead of respecting the type parameter's bound.Problem Demonstrated
When processing a field declared with a wildcard generic type like
MessageWrapper<?>whereMessageWrapper<T extends Settings>, Jackson's type resolution:java.lang.ObjectSettings)This causes polymorphic type information to be lost during serialization when
@JsonTypeInfoannotations are used.Test Details
The test compares serialization of identical object instances using two different field declarations:
MessageWrapper<?> wildcardWrapper(fails - missing"type"field)MessageWrapper<EmailSettings> specificWrapper(works - includes"type":"EMAIL")Expected vs Actual
Wildcard (Current - Broken):
Specific Type (Works):
The wildcard case should also include the
"type":"EMAIL"field for polymorphic serialization.Related Issue
Fixes #5285
