Use lib Gson instead of Jackson

[eduardocintra]

In the application that I work we use the Lib Gson instead of Jackson for this we exclude Jackson lib using:

@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = { JacksonAutoConfiguration.class })

But when I use this notation the SBA not works.

It is possible to adapt SBA to use Gson lib?

We make use of some Jackson annotations and some custom serializers (in the SBA server). So you'd need to replace all of this.

I'd just suggest that you split up the SBA server (using Jackson) and your own application (using Gson) into two separate boot applications and you shouldn't have any problem.
In general it's better to split things up as there could be some other sideffects...

We won't support running SBA server with Gson, the SBA client should work using Gson.

Thank you for your idea!
I tried, I splitted in two applications one is the server and my application as client, but not works, the dashboard opens now but some features not works, for example, the Health of Instance and the Mappings.

When I back to use Jackson works fine.

That is, the SBA client not working well with Gson.

The problem isn't the SBA client. The client just registers at the SBA server, all data are taken from the spring boot actuator endpoint. SBA depends on the default format for the Spring Boot actuator endpoints. My (false?) assumption was that the actuator endpoints look the same using gson and jackson.

SpringMVC output reposne "ContentType=application/json", if JacksonAutoConfig + @RestController.
But GsonAutoConfiguration not. How can I fix it?
