jackson @JsonSerialize annotation is not working with Seam/RestEasy with JBoss EAP 6.1.0.Alpha1 (AS 7.2.0.Alpha1-redhat-4)

[dozer247]

Hi,

I've tried deploying  our Seam 2.3.1.Final app to JBoss EAP 6.1.0.Alpha1 (AS 7.2.0.Alpha1-redhat-4) and our RestEasy api is not working correctly anymore.

In Jboss AS 7.1.1 Final our json response was like

{
    "checklists": {
        "templates": [
            {
                "id": 12434654,
                "name": "Retail Operations audit"
            },
            {
                "id": 12435536,
                "name": "test Checklist"
            }
        ]
    }
}

now in  JBoss EAP 6.1.0.Alpha1 (AS 7.2.0.Alpha1-redhat-4) it like

{

    "checklists": {
        "templates": [
            {
                "id": 12434654,
                "name": "Retail Operations audit",
                "date": null,
                "siteName": null,
                "customerName": null,
                "address": null
            },
            {
                "id": 12435536,
                "name": "test Checklist",
                "date": null,
                "siteName": null,
                "customerName": null,
                "address": null
            }
        ]
    }
}

For some reason its ignoring our @JsonSerialize annotations which come from the jackson-mapper-asl-1.9.10.jar  which is in our lib directory.

our jboss-deployment-structure.xml looks like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Does anyone have an idea on what i've missed or why it is behaving like this?

Thanks in advance

I  think it is related to classloading issue, when you have different version of jackson-mapper-asl in classloader. Check

Laures/jackson-legacy-introspector · GitHub where it was changed packaging from org.codehouse to com.fasterxml and  with this change all classes that were annotated for Jackson 1.9 no longer work with Jackson 2.

Try do debug the real jar which is loaded.

I think its a classloading issue too,  Also we aren't using jackson 2 and jboss 7.2.0 come with jackson 1.9.9.

After some debugging none of my jackson annotation or object mapper code is called. I suspect it using the provided resteasy/jackson class instead of the one in our EAR  lib directory.

I would of thought my jboss-deployment-structure.xml file would exclude the provided resteasy/jackson class too.

How do you remove the provided resteasy/jackson class?

Darrell,

try to add the jackson-mapper-asl exclusion into all EAR submodules - for wars <sub-deployment name="1place.war">  and <sub-deployment name="1place-api.war"> too.

Hi Marek,

I've resolved this issue by adding the following to the deployment section of the jboss-deployments-structure.xml file

<exclude-subsystems>

     <subsystem name="jaxrs" />

     <subsystem name="webservices" />

</exclude-subsystems>

Thanks

I had a problem with (org.codehaus.jackson.map.annotate.JsonSerialize) @JsonSerialize annotation and found following link useful:
