Answer 1

Although this question is slightly different to this one : Strange Jackson exception being thrown when serializing Hibernate object, the underlying problem can be fixed in the same way with this code:

@Provider
public class MyJacksonJsonProvider extends JacksonJsonProvider {
    public MyJacksonJsonProvider() {
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

        setMapper(mapper);
    }
}
