java - Jersey 2.0 equivalent to POJOMappingFeature

Question

I have some experience using Jersey < 2.0. Now I am trying to build a war application to provide a JSON Webservice API.

I am now struggling for a considerable amount of time trying to configure Moxy and it seams to be way more complicated than what was adding

    <init-param>
        <param-name>com.sun.jersey.api.json.POJOMappingFeature</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>

to your web.xml back in Jersey < 2.0.

Is there some possibility to just say "please add json support"?

Currently I just get a lot of Internal Server Error errors without any log entries on the server and just think "I have to do something totally wrong, this can't be so hard"

Can anyone give me a hint?
