Major Description
Jackson seems to be the only JSON provider that works well (the other ones work in limited situations, but Jackson seems to handle it all well). So IMO Jackson should be considered as the default JSON provider for Wink.
ATM the Jackson module doesn't provide a Provider impl, it should get a proper implementation that sets up a reasonable configuration. This has been working very, very well for me:
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); AnnotationIntrospector pair = new AnnotationIntrospector.Pair( new JaxbAnnotationIntrospector(), new JacksonAnnotationIntrospector()); mapper.getDeserializationConfig().setAnnotationIntrospector(pair); mapper.getSerializationConfig().setAnnotationIntrospector(pair); JacksonJaxbJsonProvider provider = new JacksonJaxbJsonProvider(); provider.setMapper(mapper);
