external logging and replacing the ObjectMapper

[Daniel Abraham]

Hi all,

Using Dropwizard 2.0.23 (latest at time of writing this), I set up external logging per https://www.dropwizard.io/en/latest/manual/core.html#logging and all was good.  But later on I changed the default ObjectMapper with the code below.  Now sometime after that snippet runs, logging reverts to the default internal.

I threw a repo with a minimal example of the 2 versions up at https://github.com/dabraham02124/loggingTest (please see the readme for the relevant commits).

Am I doing something wrong?  Is there a better way to do this?  It seems very odd behavior to me, and I couldn't find doc explaining this.

I've found a workaround for myself (manually creating a separate ObjectMapper), but this is nagging at me.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thank you very much.
