Json deserialization of enum, forbid int

~~I have DTO that contains `enum`:~~
~~```~~
~~@Getter~~
~~@Setter~~
~~static class Foo {~~
~~Bar bar;~~
}
~~enum Bar {~~
~~X, Y~~
}
```
~~When I deserialize json it allow to use `int` as values.~~
```
~~var objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();~~
~~Foo foo = objectMapper.readValue("""~~
~~{"bar": 1}"~~
~~""",~~
~~Foo.class~~
);
~~```~~
~~I expect error here, but get value `Bar.Y`.~~
How can I validate Json so only string values for `enum`s allowed?
~~Here id json library dependency:~~
~~```~~
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>2.17.1</version>
</dependency>
~~```~~

I have a DTO that contains an `enum` field:
```java
@Getter
@Setter
static class Foo {
Bar bar;
}
enum Bar {
X, Y
}
```
When I deserialize a JSON, it allows `int` as values:
```java
var objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
Foo foo = objectMapper.readValue("""
{"bar": 1}"
""",
Foo.class
);
```
I expect an error here, but get the value `Bar.Y`.
How can I validate a JSON so only string values for `enum` are allowed?
Here's the JSON library dependency:

<version>2.17.1</version>
