Writing JSON from a stream throws an exception

[twincitiesguy]

Using post() or put() on the client with an "application/json" or "text/json" content-type and using an InputStream as the data throws the following exception:

Caused by: org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonMappingException: No serializer found for class java.io.ByteArrayInputStream and no properties discovered to create BeanSerializer (to avoid exception, disable SerializationConfig.Feature.FAIL_ON_EMPTY_BEANS) )

[twincitiesguy]

The issue is that apparently JacksonJsonProvider tries to serialize the InputStream (clearly a bug).

Was able to work around this by leveraging the "untouchables" feature of that provider (i.e. calling addUntouchable(InputStream.class)). Also included File.class and OutputStream.class to cover the bases.

Fixed in 2.2.1
