[SOLVED] Errors while calling mongo-jackson mapper from RESTEasy method

Been on this one for a few days now. I have a java servlet, built with maven that will be deployed to Jetty (an older version). It's a RESTful web service on Jetty built with RESTEasy and Jackson, and the Jackson Mongo Mapper to connect me to MongoDB.

I can run the application from maven/jetty just fine (using mvn jetty:run), and it returns JSON as expected for queries that don't use the Jackson Mongo Mapper/Jackson bit. When I send a request that triggers Jackson and the mapper, however, I first get this error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/jackson/map/deser/std/StdDeserializer

When I submit a second time (and all subsequent requests), I get this error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class net.vz.mongodb.jackson.JacksonDBCollection

As nearly as I can tell, I have all the dependencies set up correctly, although I'll include my web.xml and pom.xml at the end of the question. If it isn't a dependency, it's occurred to me that there might be some issue with how my bean (BillItem.class) is getting passed. I'm relatively new to Java so this could easily be a stupid mistake rather than something related to the specific stack I'm trying to implement...any ideas of what is going on?

Here's my web.xml:

And the last line of the following is the offending call that's throwing the error:

        Mongo mongo = new Mongo(MONGO_PATH, MONGO_PORT);
        DB db = mongo.getDB(MONGO_APPDB);
        DBCollection collection = db.getCollection(MONGO_BILL_COL);
        JacksonDBCollection<BillItem, String> coll = JacksonDBCollection.wrap(collection, BillItem.class, String.class);
