The short answer is... I don't know ;-) It does look like the latest 1.6
JacksonJaxbJsonProvider should work fine as-is. I've just updated my app to
configure a JacksonJaxbJsonProvider.class via getClasses() and it seems happy
enough.
I do use the jaxb+json provider here because I am using some jackson specific
annotations, specifically @JsonTypeInfo, to enrich the json data slightly in
some cases. This helps bridge the gap between xml & json wrt lists of
heterogeneous data. Xml worked due to the additional namespaces introduced,
json didn't w/o a little bit of help from jackson.
