public class NullRespectingJSONSerializer
extends org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonSerializer<Object>

This serializer writes field-name : null, for java bean fields that are a null reference; otherwise, it uses the default JSON serialization strategy for that field. This is neccesary because we are in a version of Jackson that is stupid and tells you that by default it will serialize null references as field-name : null but it actually does not include the field in the generated JSON at all. Explicit serialization settings do not work either, so we have to force this behaviour through this custom serializer :-(
