XmlMapper seems to ignore custom serializer

I tried to add custom serializer to my XmlMapper for XML serialization:

JacksonXmlModule module = new JacksonXmlModule();
module.addSerializer(Item.class, new ItemSerializer());
XmlMapper xml = new XmlMapper(module);

However, it seems like XmlMapper ignore my serializer and serialize code on its own.

I tried this same serializer with ObjectMapper for JSON serialization:

SimpleModule module = new SimpleModule("MyModule", new Version(1,0,0,null,null,null);
module.addSerializer(Item.class, new ItemSerializer());
ObjectMapper json = new ObjectMapper();
json.registerModule(module);

It works fine for JSON.

@felixWackernagel There is unit test (TestSerializerCustom.java) that checks:

    public void testIssue42() throws Exception
    {
        XmlMapper xmlMapper = new XmlMapper();
        SimpleModule m = new SimpleModule("module", new Version(1,0,0,null,null,null));
        m.addSerializer(Item.class, new ItemSerializer());
        m.addDeserializer(Item.class, new ItemDeserializer());
        xmlMapper.registerModule(m);
        ....

so I would need more information on how your case differs.

But for issue tracking purposes, could you open a new issue? It is likely that underlying cause is different, and it is easier to create release notes when fixes are not spread across multiple releases (that is, fix for this problem was in 2.0.7; fix for remaining issue would go in 2.5.2)

@kbansod I commented on #41 already, asking for reproduction. This will be needed for fix.
