com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.util.BeanUtil.okNameForGetter

I am getting this error while using the newest version of jackson core and databind:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.util.BeanUtil.okNameForGetter(Lcom/fasterxml/jackson/databind/introspect/AnnotatedMethod;Z)Ljava/lang/String;

This means that version of jackson-module-jaxb-annotations you have differs from jackson-databind so that they have different minor versions. While some mismatch versions work, in this case difference is too big; jackson-module-jaxb-annotations was compiled with version of databind different from one you are including.

So you need to check which versions are deployed. Note also that “newest” is not necessarily very clear; I assume you mean 2.8.7 (latest stable), but it could also mean 2.9.0.pr1. Regardless you have to ensure compatible versions are used.

One thing that may be useful is to use jackson-bom dependencty (it’s pom, so needs scope “import”), which contains full set of consistent versions of all standard Jackson components. This should prevent problems like one you describe.

When I use the current version I get the same error as @dAkado I found that the old version worked correctly. Hopefully this may help people experiencing the same problem. At least as a quick workaround.
