Answer 1

Exception indicates that some other library or framework is using Jackson 1.x, and requires 1.x jars. You are using Jackson 2.x, classes of which live in com.fasterxml.jackson package; but as per exception, ones in org.codehaus.jackson are needed.

Answer 2

You need to add jackson-mapper-asl in your classpath.
