Configuring Jackson as JSON provider in JAX-RS client

[forumssj]

Hi,

   I am new to CXF. With some effort I could get REST webservices working
which consume and produce JSON. Now I am trying to write a client to test
the same. I am using Jackson for JSON and CXF2.5.1. When I try to access the
webservice from the client, tomcat throws this error - 
org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.ProviderFactory createProvider
INFO: Problem with setting the default provider
org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.JSONProviderorg/codehaus/jettison/mapped/TypeConverter

  I understand from the error that I need to configure Jackson as the JSON
provider. I am using a simple servlet for the client, no spring and do not
understand how I can configure Jackson as the JSON provider in code. Here's
what I try to do :
                XXXManager mgr =
JAXRSClientFactory.create("http://localhost:8080/XXXService/rest/XXXService";,
XXXManager.class);
                try {
                       //create JSON object to pass to webservice
                        SearchRequest req = .....
                        SearchResponse resp = mgr.SearchXXX(req);
                }
                catch(ServerWebApplicationException  ex) 
                {
                          Response r = ex.getResponse();
                          String message = ex.getMessage();
                }

      Here both SearchRequest and SearchResponse are annotated with
@XmlRootElement

      Any help will be appreciated.

kind regards,
sj
