Exception when accessing Facebook Template

[kiteflo]

Hi there,

we are trying to access some simple FacebookTemplate functions but failing gracefully with the following exception:

Dis anybody see a similar exception in order to point us the cause of the exception? We are simply doing this:

...
FacebookProfile profile = connection.getApi().userOperations().getUserProfil e();
modelAndView.addObject("profile", profile);

// prepare offers in a specialized way...
List<org.springframework.social.facebook.api.Page> activities = facebook.likeOperations().getActivities();
...

Thank you, Flo...

If you use log4j with DEBUG level enabled, you can see the JSON from the request.
Also you could use the developer graph api http://developers.facebook.com/tools...e%2Factivities to see what is being returned for that item, and include that in the report. Might provide a clue what is not working right.

good luck

I don't know if it was this exact exception or not, but I encountered a very similar exception a few days ago. As it turns out, I had the wrong version of Jackson in the classpath. Verify that you're running with Jackson 1.9.3 and see if it goes away.
