I was facing a problem where I couldn't get to convert some json into a java object. That issue is here: Spring + Jackson + Deserializing List of Generic Objects. Now, I was able to solve that by upgrading from spring 3.0.3 to spring 3.2.
The problem I'm facing now is the following. My serialization/deserialization works fine on my webapp, however it does not on my unit tests. When I run/debug them, I see I'm having the same problem I was having before (the one on the other stackoverflow post). I think there must be a conflict on my dependencies but after spending the whole day looking into it, I came up empty.
My project is a multi module maven project where I have a pom for the dependencies, a pom for the main project, and a pom for each module.

Any ideas about why my deployed code works but not my unit tests?
