[mkurz]

More description needed, thanks! 😉

[PromanSEW]

@mkurz I updated issue, please check

[mkurz]

Which dependencies do you use?
Please add addDependencyTreePlugin to your project/plugins.sbt
and then

1. start sbt
2. check the dependencies e.g. with dependencyBrowseTree, a browser should open, please check which library pulls in jackson-databind version 2.15.0 and let us know, thanks

[mkurz]

You need to find which dependency pulls in jackson-databind version 2.15.0
you can also use other commands like

• dependencyTree
• or publish to file with dependencyTree/toFile /tmp/my_project_dependencies

You find all commands ("sbt tasks") here:
https://github.com/sbt/sbt-dependency-graph#main-tasks

[PromanSEW]

Yes, I think so, it's Ebean 13.25.0
io.ebean:ebean-jackson-mapper:13.25.0-jakarta
Need to check for 13.17.3 which is default for Play Ebean 8.0.0

[PromanSEW]

Checked. 13.17.3 has dependency for Jackson Databind 2.14.0, so vanilla 8.0.0 should be fine

[mkurz]

Perfect, so not our fault 😅

[PromanSEW]

@mkurz
Additional info: Play 2.8.20 and Ebean 13.22.0 (with databind 2.15.0) worked normally
So while updating from 2.8.20 to 3.0.0 compatibility with Databind 2.15.0 was lost 🤔
But where?

[mkurz]

Hmm.. That's a bit weird. Maybe the jackson version check was introduced in a newer version and the version Play 2.8 uses is so old the check does not even exit yet...

[PromanSEW]

@mkurz Do you need a minimal reproducer for investigating?

[mkurz]

hmm. why not

[PromanSEW]

@mkurz I updated my testing repo to Play 3.0.0 and having this exception
I commented out all old working versions (2.8.20/SBT 1.7.2/6.2.0/13.22.0) for fast rollback
Configuration 3.0.0/1.9.7/8.0.0/13.25.0 crashes until set Ebean back to 13.22.0
Link: https://github.com/PromanSEW/ebean_example

EDIT: I checked that 13.22.0 worked, and 13.25 not. Sorry
Something broken in Ebean between 13.22.0 and 13.25.0
13.22.0 has dependency for 2.15.0, but in my project it has 2.14.3...

[PromanSEW]

Breaking change produces this issue:
ebean-orm/ebean#3250

[mkurz]

Fixed by #451, we can just exclude the jackson dependencies that ebean pulls in, which means ebean will then just use the jackson dependencies Play depends on which should be ok.

[mkurz]

Play Ebean 8.2.0 and 7.2.0 released which upgrade Ebean to latest version 15.0.1
