RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration breaks Jackson support for JSR310 (javax.time) [DATAREST-465]

Sylvain LAURENT opened DATAREST-465 and commented

using spring boot 1.2.1 with jackson-datatype-jsr310 and spring-boot-starter-data-rest in my pom.xml.

I can POST a JSON object with one field mapped to a javax.time.Instant without any problem :

{ "theInstant" : "2015-01-22T12:00:25Z" }

As soon as I add @Import( RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration.class) on my spring boot Application class, the POST does not work any longer and I get the following error :

{
  "timestamp" : 1421996311314,
  "status" : 400,
  "error" : "Bad Request",
  "exception" : "org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException",
  "message" : "Could not read JSON: Can not instantiate value of type [simple type, class java.time.Instant] from String value ('2015-01-22T12:00:25Z'); no single-String constructor/factory method\n at [Source: java.io.PushbackInputStream@4fe15843; line: 3, column: 24] (through reference chain: test.MyClass[\"theInstant\"]); nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: Can not instantiate value of type [simple type, class java.time.Instant] from String value ('2015-01-22T12:00:25Z'); no single-String constructor/factory method\n at [Source: java.io.PushbackInputStream@4fe15843; line: 3, column: 24] (through reference chain: test.MyClass[\"theInstant\"])"
}

Affects: 2.2.1 (Evans SR1)
