Hopefully I'm not talking too much bull here. Let's try:
For future reference to any hapless soul trying to meddle with Jersey's
twisted magic:
The center ingredient to customizing Jackson's ObjectMapper is to make
Jersey use Jackson's own JAX-RS <-> Jackson MessageBodyReader and
MessageBodyWriter instead of it's own.
- Jackson's JAX-RS integration looks up the ObjectMapper instance from
ContextResolvers.
- Jersey-provided Jackson integration doesn't, and instead instantiates
it's own, leaving no room for customizing the ObjectMapper.
Step 1. Implement ContextResolver<ObjectMapper> to provide your
customized ObjectMapper instance and register it with Jersey.
Step 2. Register
com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs.json.JacksonJaxbJsonProvider with Jersey.
Step 3. Done.
