I am using Jersey to marshall a Java object to JSON, as follows:

import javax.ws.rs.*;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;
import java.io.IOException;

@POST
@Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
@Path("/test")
public Response replay(String input) throws IOException {
    return Response.ok().entity(new MyClass()).build();
}

Am receiving the following exception:

javax.ws.rs.WebApplicationException: com.sun.jersey.api.MessageException: A message body writer for Java class com.company.MyClass, and Java type class com.company.MyClass, and MIME media type application/octet-stream was not found.

I understand that the solution here is to :

  1. Add the jackson-jaxrs-json-provider dependency
  2. Use com.sun.jersey.api.json.POJOMappingFeature

POJOMappingFeature is normally configured in web.xml. Is there an alternative for applications which are annotation driven and do not use web.xml?

Thanks

You should just be able to add this to your pom file.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-media-moxy</artifactId>
    </dependency>

This dependency is normally commented out if you have created your project from the Jersey maven archetype.

com.sun.jersey.api.json.POJOMappingFeature is only for version 1.* of Jersey. The package name changed from com.sun.* to org.glassfish.* from version 1 to 2 of Jersey.
