Upgrading Jackson in GlassFish 4.1

Question

I am using GlassFish 4.1, which includes Jackson 2.3.2.

I would like to upgrade to the newest version of Jackson (currently 2.4.4).

Is the procedure for upgrading Jackson in GlassFish 4.1 as simple as:

a) stopping GlassFish

b) deleting the osgi-cache

c) replacing the Jackson 2.3.2 jars in the glassfish/modules directory with newer versions

d) starting GlassFish

Thanks.

Answer 1

Please @see https://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-21141

The procedure I followed was

• asadmin stop-domain delete felix cache
• $rm -rf domains/domain1/osgi-cache/felix/
• copy jackson--2.4.2.jars as modules/jackson-.jar
• asadmin start-domain

Currently, I using Spring Framework 4.x and I do not want to override jackson file in glassfish. What is other solution to run? Ex: add dependency in pom.xml. – Xenocrates
