Using RoboSpice with Jackson2 and Spring

Question

I want to use Jackson2 with SpringRoboSpice . my libs folder contains the following jars .

• commons-io-1.3.2.jar
• commons-lang3-3.2.1.jar
• jackson-annotations-2.2.3.jar
• jackson-core-2.2.3.jar
• jackson-databind-2.2.3.jar
• robospice-1.4.11.jar
• robospice-cache-1.4.11.jar
• robospice-spring-android-1.4.11.jar
• spring-android-core-1.0.1.RELEASE.jar
• spring-android-rest-template-1.0.1.RELEASE.jar

as written here SpringAndroidSpiceService will switch to jackson2 if jackson2 jars found.

the app crash with this exception:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper
            at org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter.<init>(MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter.java:54)
            at com.octo.android.robospice.JacksonSpringAndroidSpiceService.createRestTemplate(JacksonSpringAndroidSpiceService.java:33)
            at com.octo.android.robospice.SpringAndroidSpiceService.onCreate(SpringAndroidSpiceService.java:26)

            at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1278)

What i am missing?

Answer 1

If you use Jackson 2, then you need to use a Jackson2SpringAndroidSpiceService and not a JacksonSpringAndroidSpiceService. The 2 matters :)
