Integration of ssm with mvc spring application throws exception with jackson 1.7.1

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Follow the integration steps detailed here 
http://code.google.com/p/simple-spring-memcached/ with a spring mvc web 
application configured to use jackson 1.7.1. Just the configuration steps are 
required, not the annotation.
2. Build an deploy to tomcat3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output is nothing in addition to the standard output from tomcat 
during deployment.

Actual output contains...

This causes a bean creation exception further up the chain.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Spring framework 3.1.1.RELEASE
Jackson 1.71
Tomcat 7.0.27
JDK/JRE 7
Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.

Changing the version of jackson from 1.7.1 to 1.9.10 resolved the issue for us.

Regards,

Mark

Thanks for creating the issue

Added initializeTranscoders property to CacheFactory by default set to true. If 
set false transcoders won't be created automatically (including json 
transcoder) so jackson classes (ObjectMapper) won't be initialized.
Code in trunk.

Could you please elaborate on #2 comment. I didn't understand the purpose. I am 
using 3.2.0 version and facing the same problem. Adding initializeTranscoders 
property by default set to false prevents the error, though I am not sure of 
it's repercussions.

In 3.2.0 a new property was added to CacheFactory: initializeTranscoders. When 
it set to false (by default it is true) then SSM will not try to create 
automatically any Jackson objects. If you use only java serialization to store 
cached object (it's by default) then you don't need Jackson beans in SSM and 
can disable it. Disabling also allow you to use in your project other Jackson 
version than required by SSM. Previously even if JSON serialization in SSM 
wasn't used some Jackson objects were created at the startup and specific 
Jackson version on the classpath was required.
