Actually I had configured Jeresy to just use the Jackson provider
(org.codehaus.jackson.jaxrs.JacksonJaxbJsonProvider) because JAXB was
behaving even stranger with my date format. Thanks for pointing out the
link though I'll give that a shot.
But out of curiousity if I'm using Jackson directly why wouldn't it be able
to handle a Unix timestamp like I have below? I thought that was it's
default behavior. The strange thing is if I take the quotation marks off of
the timestamp value it works fine. But with the quotes it thinks it's a
String and not a long and tries to parse it as such.
Thanks!
