Hi Gary,
I thought first you might be talking about this issue :
http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/jax-rs.html#JAX-RS-DealingwithJSONarrayserializationissues
(thanks Andy for adding a TOC :-)) but then after looking at the code it seems
that it's not the case ...
Is it when registering a ContextResolver<JAXBContext> implementation which will customize the way Foo.class is being serialized can
help ?
I'll also check if what you're after is possible with Jettison
Cheers, Sergey

I think it's a limitation of the underlying JSON library. Something like:
@XmlRootElement
public class Foo {
@XmlElementWrapper(name="values")
@XmlElement(name="value")
private List<String> values
}
Gives XML like:
<foo>
<values>
<value>foo</value>
<value>bar</value>
</values>
</foo>
And json like:
{foo: {values: {value: ["foo", "bar"]}}}
Whereas really, if this is an API that you want to publicize, you really want:
{values: ["foo", "bar"]}
Seems like the JSON is generated via JAXB and an XMLStreamWriter, which unfortunately is too limited to provide real control over
the JSON.
Thanks,
Gary

Hi Gary
JSON via JAXB definitely leaves something to be desired.
Do you reckon it's the limitations of the underlying JSON library that we use (Jettison) or do you refer to the insufficient number
of hooks for our JSON JAXRS reader/writer whiich would help in producing a better quality JSON ?
Can you post some examples please - I hope it will help us to improve what we
have
Thanks, Sergey
Hi guys,
I really like how CXF provides both JSON and XML out of the box. However, after working with the JSON serializer a bit, it's
obvious that the JAXB annotations translate poorly to JSON, and that while you have great control over XML via JAXB, JSON via JAXB
definitely leaves something to be desired.
Do you guys know of any jaxb-quality, annotation-driven JSON serializers?
Cheers,
Gary
