As of mid November 2017, the most recent version of Jersey is 2.26.

Jersey supports Jackson via the jersey-media-json-jackson extension module, which is released under the same version number as Jersey core modules. This extension module contains the auto-discoverable JacksonFeature that registers the JacksonJsonProvider class for binding JSON to Java objects.

In the version 2.26, this extension depends on Jackson 2.8.4. While in the version 2.23.2, it depends on Jackson 2.5.4.

The BeanUtil.okNameForSetter(Annotated Method) method was deprecated in Jackson 2.5 and has been removed in Jackson 2.9.

To support the most recent version of Jackson, you could get rid of the jersey-media-json-jackson extension module.

Then add the jackson-jaxrs-json-provider module to your project and register the JacksonJsonProvider directly in your ResourceConfig or Application implementation.
