Deploying to JBoss with latest version of Jackson

[nmcgover]

I am trying to deploy a war file to jboss with my own version of Jackson. However, jboss ignores the dependencies set in my pom and uses the default jackson lib that is several versions behind. I know I can use a jboss-deployment-structure.xml file to exclude the default jackson dependency from this stack overflow post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46366031/missing-jackson-dependencies-in-jboss-eap-7/46390268#46390268, but it still does not have the latest version I need. Is there a way I can specify to jboss to just look in the lib folder inside my war file?

copy jar into the old module and than open module.xml and update reference to point to new jar

I am not sure what you mean. This is for a maven project and I do not have a module.xml file.

As far as I know, WildFly doesn't force/expose Jackson module on the deployments, so you should just be able to package a Jackson library version of your own in the .ear/lib or .war/WEB-INF/lib of your application and use it in a way you want to.

If you are running into issues doing that, can you paste the entire exception stacktrace that you see, the snippet of the code from your application which triggers this and the exact version of WildFly that you are using?

The error that I am getting is when I call the following line:

mapper.setPropertyNamingStrategy(PropertyNamingStrategy.SNAKE_CASE);

and the error that is thrown is:

13:18:26,170 ERROR java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: SNAKE_CASE

I am using WildFly Core 2.1.15.Final-redhat-1

And this is my jboss-deployment-structure.xml:

<jboss-deployment-structure>
  <deployment>
       <exclusions>
            <module name="com.fasterxml.jackson.core.databind"/>
       </exclusions>
  </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
