Hi Martin,
i am afraid, the closest thing you could get for pure JAXB->JSON is:
{"item":["val 1","val 2","val 3"]}
i.e. you will need two separate get methods for json and xml:
@GET @ProduceMime("application/xml")
public Items getXmlList() {
return getItems();
}
@GET @ProduceMime("application/json")
public JSONArray getJsonArray() {
return new JSONArray(getItems().items);
}
You will then get:
%curl -HAccept:application/json
http://localhost:9998/test
["val 1","val 2","val 3"]
%curl -HAccept:application/xml
http://localhost:9998/test
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><items><item>val 1</item><item>val 2</item><item>val 3</item></items>%
Hope it helps,
~Jakub
