Spring Spring-web requires jackson-dataformat-yaml dependency running on TomEE web container

Hello, I have an issue with TomEE that Spring-web forces me to add "jackson-dataformat-yaml" dependency.
This dependency is not needed/used in my application.

org.springframework.http.converter.support.AllEncompassingFormHttpMessageConverter founds jackson2YamlPresent = ClassUtils.isPresent("com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.yaml.YAMLFactory", classLoader); in the base class loader. But this dependency does not exist in the application context class loader and cannot create org.springframework.http.converter.json.Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder.YamlFactoryInitializer#create instance of com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.yaml.YAMLFactory.

• Spring 6.2.3
• TomEE Plus 10.0.0

Do you have any suggestions/fixes for this issue without removing "jackson-dataformat-yaml" dependency from TomEE?

Comment From: sdeleuze

I advise to ask on TomEE side with a reproducer, AllEncompassingFormHttpMessageConverter is already using its classloader for the classpath check, so on Spring side, I think we don't have anything actionable.
