Remove dependency on Jackson

Question

In Spring-MVC you have the ability to remove the Jackson library as a dependency and replace it with your own using this method:

protected void configureMessageConverters(List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters)

I am trying to do the same thing for Spring-Websocket so I have overridden both of these methods:

@Bean public CompositeMessageConverter brokerMessageConverter()
protected boolean configureMessageConverters(List<MessageConverter> messageConverters)

However there is still a dependency on Jackson somewhere and I can't figure out where.

EDIT

Here is a stack trace:
