Well, thanks for the suggestion. I guess that "com.fasterxml.jackson.*"
is used a a default backend then? I used a
"com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper" to write an object, but
this does not seem to take into account that there might be XmlAdapters
for some special types. Can I get that to work as well?
