Jackson module version

[arielcarrera]

Hi, I am testing wildfly 10.0.0.Final and I have a question that maybe someone here can have the answer...

Why is included the jackson version 2.5.4  in the Wildfly 10.0.0.Final?

I see that the last included version of Hibernate is 5.0.7 and to use the famous Jackson Hibernate5Module with it, version 2.6 or greater of jackson is needed.

Is it possible to open an issue to update this dependency in future versions? It can be good to avoid install manually all the jackson modules needed.

Hibernate does have a dependency on com.fasterxml:classmate:0.8.0, however, WildFly is using 1.1.0.

I do see com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core (2.5.4) being referenced by WildFly but not Hibernate ORM.  Perhaps I'm missing something when I looked.

Can you please help me to understand which artifacts your seeing the conflict with (please provide the actual maven groupid/artifactid).

Do you see an actual problem due to the conflict?  Or is it more that your concerned that different versions are being used?

Hi Scott... there is not conflict with included dependencies now...

but if you want to use wildfly 10 with a project that use "hibernate 5 + jackson + hibernate5module" (as you knows hibernate5module is useful to avoid problems using jackson and hibernate with lazy properties).... you will need to upgrade or exclude all jackson modules.

For example I have a project with jax-rs + hibernate 5 + jackson + wildfly 10... and I finished by adding all this modules:

com\fasterxml\jackson\core\jackson-annotations\2.7.1

com\fasterxml\jackson\core\jackson-core\2.7.1

com\fasterxml\jackson\core\jackson-databind\2.7.1

com\fasterxml\jackson\datatype\jackson-datatype-hibernate5\2.7.1

com\fasterxml\jackson\jaxrs\jackson-jaxrs-json-provider\2.7.1

Hibernate 5 is only supported by jackson starting with version 2.6.

You can check it at:

GitHub - FasterXML/jackson-datatype-hibernate: Add-on module for Jackson JSON processor which handles Hibernate (http://…

"Note: Hibernate 3.x, 4.x and 5.x are supported (5.x starting with Jackson 2.6)"

NOTE: add "jackson-datatype-hibernate5" as a module can be nice feature too....

Thanks for explaining Ariel!  You could file a WFLY enhancement request but even better would be create a patch to go with the jira request.  :-)

If your interested in contributing the change, a guide to getting started is here.  Either way is fine.

Actually, there's a pull request to update to 2.7.3 https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/pull/8519

Are there any official release date plans available?
