Answer 1

This is how you could do it using annotations

@Configuration
public class JacksonConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

    private final CustomObjectMapper mapper;

    @Autowired
    public JacksonConfiguration(CustomObjectMapper mapper) {
        this.mapper = mapper;
    }

    @Override
    public void configureMessageConverters(List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters) {
        converters.add(new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter(mapper));
    }
}
