I tried out the changes you suggested above and yes, it works just fine!
The UNWRAP_ROOT_NODE Feature on DeserializationConfig also works, which was
another issue I think in 1.8.
Since I haven't heard from anyone about how to get Jersey's Natural
implementation to generate a null instead of a nil, I'm concluding that the
only solution is to wait for Jackson 1.9 to be GA and incorporate it into my
Jersey app.
Thanks for your help.
