Sergey Beryozkin commented on CXF-4849: --------------------------------------- Yes, reproduced with XML response. This is due to the client not registering a customized provider, here is the code: {code:java} @Test public void testGetGenericBookSimple() throws Exception { JAXBElementProvider<?> provider = new JAXBElementProvider<Object>(); provider.setExtraClass(new Class[]{BookStore.SimpleBook.class}); WebClient wc = WebClient.create("http://localhost:" + PORT + "/bookstore/genericbooks/simple", Collections.singletonList(provider)); wc.accept("application/xml"); GenericType<BookResponse<SimpleBook>> responseType = new GenericType<BookResponse<SimpleBook>>() { }; BookResponse<SimpleBook> response = wc.get(responseType); SimpleBook book = response.getEntity(); assertEquals("simple", book.getName()); } {code} Note, you need to set this extra class on the client path too, or register your custom provider which will do it dynamically. FYI, I'm not merging the above code as no source changes are needed, but hope this fragment will help. > WebClient needs to support JAX-RS 2.0 GenericType > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CXF-4849 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-4849 > Project: CXF > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: JAX-RS > Reporter: Sergey Beryozkin > Assignee: Sergey Beryozkin > Fix For: 2.8.0, 2.7.4 > > > This is useful for processing generic responses, example, > {code:java} > GenericType<List<Book>> genericResponseType = new GenericType<List<Book>>() > {}; > List<Book> books = webClient.get(genericResponseType); > // or > List<Book> books = webClient.post(someObject, genericResponseType); > {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
