[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-2959) Downgrade Jackson dependency

[Chris Roberts (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2959?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12950044#comment-12950044 ] 

Chris Roberts commented on WFLY-2959:
-------------------------------------

I think the downgrade to 2.2.3 is not ideal.
jackson-datatype-hibernate4:2.2.3 (used to work around lazy init exceptions easily with Jackson) does not support hibernate 4.3 as far as I can see only hibernate4.1.
jackson-datatype-hibernate4:2.3+ does but depends on jackson 2.3.0.

Jackson 2.3.2 is supposed to have put these APIs back as deprecated, but so far I've had no success upgrading my wildfly module version of jackson-jaxrs with the new 2.3.2 modules.

Here is a link to the relevant issue on the Jackson side which is supposed to solve the issue (but doesn't seem to work for me):

It would seem ideal that RestEasy support Jackson 2.3+  but I'm not sure how far away that is, or the deprecated APIs on the Jackson side are working.

> Jackson was upgraded to 2.3.0 which contains a [bug|https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-jaxrs-providers/commit/bafb6fb64bc15482c7bfc56784169204d6c4b1f2#commitcomment-5224156] that breaks RESTEasy. RESTEasy currently uses 2.2.1. Downgrading to at least 2.2.3, which is what CR1 is at, seems to resolve this issue.
> We should likely keep the version aligned with RESTEasy, but since CR1 was using 2.2.3 with no issues, I think reverting back to that should be fine.
