text/x-json not recognized as a valid media type

[kdeenanauth]

Receiving a response web service which, although unpopular, responds with Content-type: text/x-json

It appears the code at

jackson-jaxrs-providers/json/src/main/java/com/fasterxml/jackson/jaxrs/json/JacksonJsonProvider.java

Line 175 in bafb6fb

protected boolean hasMatchingMediaType(MediaType mediaType)

will not recognize text/x-json as a valid type.

Work around is to deserialize via ObjectMapper yourself.

Hmmh. Interesting. Sounds like an odd type but should be possible to support.

Implemented for 2.3.2.
