Jackson 2.12.6.1 incompatible with Spring Boot 3.x - Binary compatibility issue in DeltaSharingJsonProvider

[diegoripera]

Problem

The delta-sharing-java-connector version 0.1.0-SNAPSHOT uses Jackson 2.12.6.1, which is incompatible with Spring Boot 3.x applications (3.3.x and later) that use Jackson 2.13+ (specifically 2.17.x, 2.18.x, 2.19.x).

This causes binary incompatibility errors when instantiating DeltaSharingJsonProvider at line 34:

DeltaSharingProfileAdaptor profileAdaptor =
    mapper.readValue(conf, DeltaSharingProfileAdaptor.class);

Error Details

• Affected Component: DeltaSharingJsonProvider (line 34)
• Root Cause: Binary incompatibility between Jackson 2.12.x and Jackson 2.17+
• Impact: Cannot use the connector in Spring Boot 3.3+ applications

Environment

• Spring Boot: 3.3.6
• Jackson (in Spring Boot): 2.17.3
• delta-sharing-java-connector: 0.1.0-SNAPSHOT (Jackson 2.12.6.1)
• Java: 17

Solution

Update Jackson dependency from 2.12.6.1 to 2.17.3 (or latest 2.17.x) for compatibility with modern Spring Boot 3.x applications.

Changes Required

In [pom.xml], line 46:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
    <version>2.17.3</version>  <!-- Updated from 2.12.6.1 -->
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Testing

✅ Compiled successfully with Jackson 2.17.3
✅ All existing Jackson usage (basic POJO deserialization) remains compatible
✅ No code changes required in [DeltaSharingJsonProvider] or [DeltaSharingProfileAdaptor]
✅ Works with Spring Boot 3.3.6 applications
