Describe the bug

getting - failed to serialize payload error for boolean field intermittently with java liberty servers, few times a week and then all the requests are getting same error until the server is restarted. we are using java 1.8, ibm websphere application server liberty 21.0.0.9 2.15.2 version of jackson databind

Version Information

2.15.2

Reproduction

<-- Any of the following

1. Brief code sample/snippet: include here in preformatted/code section
2. Longer example stored somewhere else (diff repo, snippet), add a link
3. Textual explanation: include here -->

   // Your code here
   public class BaseRequest{
   private boolean isStatus = false;
   //getters, setters, few other fields
   }

   The payload is not having this field being sent, but intermittently we are getting failed to serialize payload error for this and then the particular server on which it started this error will start for all the other api calls and the server becomes non-responsive, after restart of the server the server becomes normal and no error for most of the time, and then happens once a week or two weeks

Expected behavior

no serialization error

Additional context

No response

We prefer to get cases where the problem is minimised to just involving Jackson. Noone is going to voluntarily try to reproduce your scenario which is far from fully described - which if I repeat it here, involves purchasing licenses for Websphere, setting up an instance, coding and deploying a POC and sending it messages for a week or 2 and then debugging.

Have you even looked at the possibility that some of the messages are malformed and how your code reacts to those malformed messages?

The same requests work on other servers, same server after the server restart.

It could be anything: maybe your JVM server got corrupted, maybe there's memory problem, firewall problem, could be anything. 🤷‍♂️

You should get your team's/company's senior devs to investigate this.
