MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter not found

I was trying to run a java batch that call an application context without success (it’s a java app that calls a Camel spring context). This is what I get during the startup:

ERROR ApplicationProperties @ addApplicationProperty [28] org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Unexpected exception parsing XML document from file [/MessageRouting/src/test/resources/META-INF/spring/LOCALHOST-db-context.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/http/converter/json/MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter
Fatal error! java.lang.RuntimeException: Error loading ClassPathXmlApplicationContext file - src/test/resources/META-INF/spring/LOCALHOST-db-context.xml

I’m using spring 4.2.3 (updated yesterday, probably the reason for which it doesn’t work. It was 4.0.9). I know that MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter has been replaced by MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter but, how can I tell to spring to use the new version???

I followed some suggestion and I added this to my pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.6.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
    <version>2.6.3</version>
</dependency>   
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-annotations</artifactId>
    <version>2.6.3</version>
</dependency>

But this didn’t fix so, I finally resolved the issue adding this dependency to my pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
    <version>${org.springframework-version}</version>
</dependency>

Parse an unknown JSON with Jquery

Sometime it happens to receive a JSON string than need to be visualized without knowing the structure. Suppose we have an HTML table:

<tbody id="reportTable">					
</tbody>

To populate this table with jQuery it’s possible to use this simple code:

var rows = ${reportRows};
var html = $.each(rows, function(key, value){
 
	$("#reportTable").append("<tr>");
 
	$.each(value, function (key, data) {
		$("#reportTable").append("<td>" + data + "</td>");
	});
 
	$("#reportTable").append("</tr>");
 
});

${reportRows} comes from a Spring MVC Controller and it’s a Java string generates using Jackson (or Gson) in this way:

ColumnMapRowMapper rowMapper = new ColumnMapRowMapper();
List<Map<String, Object>> reportDataList =  getJdbcTemplate().query(sqlComplete, rowMapper);
 
ObjectWriter ow = new ObjectMapper().writer().withDefaultPrettyPrinter();
String json = ow.writeValueAsString(reportDataList);

So, we have a query that return a not know number of column (suppose your code dynamically generate the query), we translate the results in JSON and we use jQuery to render the results.
