Not able to add XML mapper for the XML input Object : Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.XmlMapper

Question

after searching for a while, I cannot get the correct version of the Jackson jar and what Jackson jars I need to use. I am not able to get the exact solution tried adding all the applicable jars for the same but my application has not started. Using the following jars..

<spring.version>5.3.23</spring.version>
    <jackson.version>2.13.2</jackson.version

I am trying to add the Object mapper for both types of input and output, JSON and XML with the help of a message converter Here is the code in *-servlet.xml

<mvc:annotation-driven >
        <mvc:message-converters>
            <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter">
                <property name="objectMapper">
                    <bean class="com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper">
                        <property name="serializationInclusion" value="NON_EMPTY"/>
                    </bean>
                </property>
            </bean>
            <!-- Added this bean configuration for XML serialization  -->
            <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.xml.MappingJackson2XmlHttpMessageConverter">
                <property name="objectMapper">
                    <bean class="com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.XmlMapper">
                        <property name="serializationInclusion" value="NON_EMPTY"/>
                    </bean>
                </property>
            </bean>
        </mvc:message-converters>
    </mvc:annotation-driven>
    
    

Here are my parent pom entries: Jackson jar version is 2.13.2

            </dependency>

after the success clean and build I am getting ClassNotFoundException while starting tomee, even after I have added applicable depencies in respective pom.xml.

Here is the exception I am getting from it.

Need to understand the way or path to look what is wrong here, where I need to improve to resolve this ClassNotFoundException
