I have been doing a poc on Spring4 and RestWS integration. I am new to both with barely a weeks exposure. I am following instructions from blogs. I understand that in Spring 4 and restWS setup jackson-core/anotation/databind 2 is to be used for correct message converstion of JSON <-> Java object to happen. Also org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter
is to be used for message conversion.
I satisfied all these requirements. However when I try to start application, I get bean create exception.
stack

It seems that something is wrong with MappingJacksonJsonView class.
Could following from factory file be the cause of trouble ?
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.json.MappingJacksonJsonView">
<property name="contentType" value="text/plain"/>
</bean>
Am I supposed to replace this class as well?
I will help assistance to fix this.
Thanks,

You are currently using the
MappingJacksonJsonView
which is designed to work with Jackson1 .You mention the following:
Which means you have Jackson2 on your classpath. Jackson1 and Jackson2 aren't compatible (different packages, different classes etc.).
You have 2 possible solutions
MappingJacksonJsonView
with theMappingJackson2JsonView
