A message body writer for Java class ... and MIME media type text/html was not found [duplicate]

Question

I am using the jms/atmosphere framework to make communication between two applications. One of the applications is a message producer for a topic, sending custom objects of the following type:

    @XmlRootElement
    public class A implements Serializable{
    public A(){}

    /* some private properties */

   }

On the other side more than one consumers are listening on the topic and make different subscriptions depending on the id.

    @GET
    @Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
    public SuspendResponse<A> subscribe() {
    return new SuspendResponse.SuspendResponseBuilder<A>()
            .broadcaster(topic)
            .outputComments(true)
            .addListener(new EventsLogger()).build();
    } 
   @Override
public void incomingBroadcast() {
    try {
        String id = getID();
        if (id.startsWith("/*")) {
            id = "atmosphere";
        }

        logger.info("Looking up Connection Factory {}", FACTORY_NAME);
        Context ctx = new InitialContext();
        ConnectionFactory connectionFactory = (ConnectionFactory) ctx.lookup(FACTORY_NAME);

        logger.info("Looking up topic: {}", TOPIC_NAME);
        Topic topic = (Topic) ctx.lookup(TOPIC_NAME);

        connection = connectionFactory.createConnection();
        session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);

        logger.info("Create consumer for : {}", id);
        String selector = String.format("BroadcasterId = '%s'", id);

        consumer = session.createConsumer(topic, selector);
        consumer.setMessageListener(new MessageListener() {

            @Override
            public void onMessage(Message msg) {
                try {
                    ObjectMessage om = (ObjectMessage) msg;
                    A a = (A) om.getObject();
                    if (a!= null && bc != null) {
                        broadcastReceivedMessage(a);
                    }
                    logger.info("Broadcasted message: {} ", a);
                } catch (JMSException ex) {
                    logger.warn("Failed to broadcast message", ex);
                }
            }
        });
        publisher = session.createProducer(topic);
        connection.start();
        logger.info("JMS created for topic {}, with filter {}", TOPIC_NAME, selector);
    } catch (Throwable ex) {
        throw new IllegalStateException("Unable to initialize MyBroadcaster", ex);
    }

}

What I notice is that the messages are arriving correctly on the JMS topic, but I receive the following exception:

   SEVERE: A message body writer for Java class A, and Java type class A, and MIME       
   media type text/html was not found

   SEVERE: The registered message body writers compatible with the MIME media type are:

I am using Netbeans 7.0.1, glassfish 3.1.1, atmosphere 0.8.1, jersey 1.11. I searched the web an tried any possible solution but nothing helped.

I had the same issue and it was down to not having Jersey's json module included on my classpath. You can simply fix it by adding the following dependency on maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-json</artifactId>
    <version>1.14</version>
</dependency>
