text/xml not supported when using Jackson

[BigMichi1]

with #1580 there was support included for Jackson based XML serialization, but when we enable this support

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-dataformat-xml</artifactId>
        </dependency>

we loose support for /text/xml processing by our rest templates. it seems that jackson only supports application/xml

I guess you were using JAXB previously? The JAXB-based HttpMessageConverters support text/xml, application/xml, and application/*-xml whereas, as you've observed, MappingJackson2XmlHttpMessageConverter only supports application/xml. Spring Framework is responsible for this default configuration. We could override it in Boot, but, before we do that, I'd like to understand the reasons for the difference. @sdeleuze can you comment please?

Good catch, I have created the related SPR-12366 issue, and will fix it shortly. The fix will be in Spring Framework 4.1.2, so Spring Boot 1.2 will also have the right behavior.

This issue is now fixed in Spring Framework master with this commit, and will be available in next 4.1.2.BUILD-SNAPSHOT build.

@sdeleuze Thanks

Boot 1.2 snapshots are now using Spring 4.1.2 so you should no longer see this problem
