title: How do I disable fail_on_empty_beans in Jackson?
body: <p>Using jackson 2.1, how do I disable the <code>fail_on_empty beans</code> that the error message seems to want me to disable? </p>
  
  <p>I'm assuming this is just the simplest thing in the world, but hell it is late and I haven't been able to find a simple tutorial or anything particularly obvious from the <code>api</code>. <code>SerializationFactory</code>? Why would they make it so unintuitive and then make the error message seem so straightforward?</p>
  
  <p>Although I <em>do</em> like the error message, I mean, it is better than an NPE.</p>
  
  <p>I'm assuming there is a way to do this using annotations - but I'm not keen on using them at all for the simplistic work I'm doing!</p>
