Yes, we definitely need an option to pick up a custom ObjectMapper. Could you file a JIRA and assign it to me, please?
However, the type converter is only used as a (very convenient) fallback. If you provide a DBObject to your endpoint, no type conversions will be triggered. Therefore, for now, you can just implement a processor/bean to convert your custom Object into a DBObject with a code similar to [1], but controlling whichever options you want in the ObjectMapper.
