BeanCreationException with Spring and Jackson API

I am getting following exception while trying to use Jackson API with Spring 3.0.6. I have jackson jars of v1.8.9 (core-asl, mapper-asl) into the classpath but still due to some conflicting jars I am facing the error ::

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)#8': Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.codehaus.jackson.type.JavaType.<init>(Ljava/lang/Class;I)V

Thanks for your reply. However, I could solve out the issue doing some R&D... I need not go down to Jackson v1.4.2, instead I used the same version with slight modification in JBoss configuration itself.

In JBoss, go to modules/org/codehaus/jackson/jackson-core-asl/main/

Here JBoss is using its own version of Jackson API (though we had different version in classpath). So I copied the v1.8.9 and made changes accordingly in module.xml (in same directory). Similar thing was repeated for mapper jars v1.8.9.

With this I could fix the issue and run things again.... :)

The correct version dependency of Jackson for Spring 3.0.6 is 1.4.2(per Spring's pom), try replacing 1.8.9 with this version, it should work correctly.
