Question

I\'m building REST service on Jersey and using Jackson to produce JSON from java classes of my model. Model with absolutely simple values, I think

I have also the same problem and tried different solutions, but non works. The problem is not with the mapper, but with the input to the mapper. As in your case:
jsonInString = mapper.writeValueAsString(users);
'users' is a collection. You need to convert each user to JSONObject, add it to JSONArray and then use the mapper on the array: like this
JSONArray users = new JSONArray(); for (Collection user : usersCollection) { JSONObject user = new JSONObject(mapper.writeValueAsString(user)); users.put(user); } mapper.writeValueAsString(user));
