Answer 1

Since Spring 3.1.2 you simply have to add jackson-databind jar to your classpath.

In Maven you can configure it like this:

    com.fasterxml.jackson.core
    jackson-databind
    ${jackson.version}


    com.fasterxml.jackson.core
    jackson-core
    ${jackson.version}

The rest of the magic will be done by spring automatically.
