How do you globally set Jackson to ignore unknown properties within Spring?

For jackson 1.9x or below you can ignore unknown properties with object mapper provider

@Provider
@Component
public class JerseyObjectMapperProvider implements ContextResolver<ObjectMapper> {

    @Override
    public ObjectMapper getContext(Class<?> type) {

        ObjectMapper result = new ObjectMapper();
        result.configure(DeserializationConfig.Feature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);
        return result;
    }
}

For jackson 2.x and above you can ignore unknown properties with object mapper provider

@Provider
@Component
public class JerseyObjectMapperProvider implements ContextResolver<ObjectMapper> {

    @Override
    public ObjectMapper getContext(Class<?> type) {

        ObjectMapper result = new ObjectMapper();
        result.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);
        return result;
    }
}

Jersey classes are not auto-discovered by Spring. Have to register them manually.

public class JerseyConfig extends ResourceConfig {
    public JerseyConfig() {
        register(JerseyObjectMapperProvider.class);
    }
}
