@type in JSON response

I have a Generic class:

@XmlSeeAlso({/*my classes here*/})
@XmlRootElement
public class Response<T> implements Serializable{ /*fields*/}

When the JSON response returns from the server, it comes with a @type information in it. I want to remove this from the response. Any help would be appreciated.

Response looks like the following:

{"response":{"@type":"myType","email":"[email protected]","firstName":"A","id":"3","lastName":"B","password":"12345","userName":"user"}}

I hope this is not a Jackson or Jersey bug.

I was struggling with this as well, but this question is similar and the answer works Binding a Generic Java Class to a JSON using JAXB

It's a fairly simple answer although I'd struggle to explain why or how it works and doesn't cause the mapping to occur.

This normally shows up because your Response class is annotated with @JsonTypeInfo. If you don't want it then you can remove this annotation, although bear in mind that then you will not have any information about the type you are returning.
