Supporting complex objects as entities for RestClient?

[mumrah]

How would you go about sending POJOs as entities for POST/PUT requests with Ribbon? Is it a matter of including jersey-json as a dependency, or is there additional configuration/dependencies required?

RestClient delegates to Jersey Client so it is matter of configuring Jersey Client.

If necessary, you can create a Jersey Client and configure it with necessary providers. Then call RestClient constructor RestClient(Client) to pass in the Jersey Client.

Since jackson is already in the classpath, would it be possible to get jackson support out of the box for more complex json objects?
