how to deserialize into a logically identical class?

I don't want to go into too much detail, so I'll try to boil it down as simple as I can. We've got an app (Java, Spring Boot) that generates some information which we then serialize and store in a database. To serialize it, we use ObjectMapper:

Code:

---

final ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.registerModule(new JavaTimeModule());
mapper.disable(SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS);
mapper.enableDefaultTyping(); // default to using DefaultTyping.OBJECT_AND_NON_CONCRETE
mapper.enableDefaultTyping(ObjectMapper.DefaultTyping.NON_FINAL);

manifestJson = mapper.writeValueAsString(manifest);

---

And the JSON is then stored in the database. Yippy yay. manifest is a complex object that contains a number of other objects and information that's used to created a final product. The problem is when we go to try to use that info to generate a new object. The FQN of the original class is stored with the information (makes sense). But the read back of the information is taking place in a different location/application. So while the original namespace that was stored with the json was type a.b.c.d.e.f.class1, we're now trying to read it back into class a.b.c.g.h.i.f.class1 ... logically class1 is the same in both namespacesses, in fact it was copied directly from one to the other. The only difference is the intervening package names.

Naturally, the when we then try to deserialize the JSON, it throws an error about not finding the type, the original type is in the original project/applicaiton and the "new" type is in the current project. We could reference the original app from the secondary app, but for functional reasons, we're trying to maintain decoupling between the two.

So the question is, how to get a serialized an object from one project and then deserialize it into another class that is logically identical?
