Research direction

Start by reading the SchemaFactoryWrapper entry point and the linked JSON Schema extension discussion to understand how custom properties are represented. Trace how schemas are generated for properties of different types, then define and verify what support for an attribute such as sortable: true should look like; the issue names no file or test to run.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

A JSON Schema specification could be easily extended to add custom properties (see json-schema/json-schema/issues/187). How can I achieve this with Jackson? I'm trying to use a custom SchemaFactoryWrapper but I can't find a way to add a new attribute like sortable: true to a property schema (that could be of type string or number or other).
