Spring application not working in JBOSS but works with Tomcat

Question

Here is what I'm doing.

Deploying this application fails in jboss where as it deploys in tomcat and works like charm.

I'm using dynamic web application from eclipse as project source.

Exporting the project to war file and deploying in jboss server also wont work.

pom.xml:

        System.out.println("Hello"); 
        String message = "{\"a\":\"b\"}";
        return message;
    }

}

and error in JBOSS:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerAdapter': Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerAdapter]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/exc/InvalidDefinitionException

Check your dependencies with mvn dependency:tree. It is likely that there is an error with regards to scoping of the jackson artifact since it is working from within your IDE, i.e. it is provided. If everything seems normal, then you most probably have a conflict in your application's classpath and the system classpath of your jboss container. You then need to see if there is any proprietary configuration in jboss to prefer your application's classpath. — Kristoffer

Add the maven version jackson as shown below

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
    <version>2.9.4</version>
</dependency>
