Answer 1

I had a similar problem and I realized that the problem was related with the version of resteasy-jackson-provider. I just moved from 3.0.4.Final to 3.0.5.Final and the problem disappeared.

Additionally I also realized that if I change the third line to the following the result was the expected with no need to change the dependencies.

Response response = request.get(Object.class).toString();
