Adding the provider does fix the unit tests but it does not fix the
underlying problem of the crippled JSON conversion:
Consider the following unit test:
----
@Test
public void arrayTest() {
final int[] numbers = { 0, 1, 2 };
final String[] mediaTypes = { MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON,
MediaType.APPLICATION_XML };
for (String mediaType : mediaTypes) {
for (int n : numbers) {
WebResource resource = getResource(String.format(
"json?number=%s", n));
Builder builder = resource.accept(mediaType);
String response = builder.get(String.class);
System.out.println(response);
}
}
}
----
which tests the following resource:
----
@GET
@ProduceMime( { MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
public UserBeanList getUsers(@QueryParam("number") Integer number) {
UserBeanList users = new UserBeanList();
while (number > 0) {
UserBean userBean = new UserBean();
userBean.setId((long) number);
userBean.setName("user" + number);
users.getUsers().add(userBean);
number--;
}
return users;
}
----
Where UserBean and UserBeanList is generated from this XML model:
-----
http://svn.randompage.org/java/samples/jax-rs/spring/src/main/jaxb/model.xsd
http://svn.randompage.org/java/samples/jax-rs/spring/src/main/jaxb/bindings.xml
-----
you would expect the following output:
----
{"users":null}
{"users":{"user":[{"id":"1","name":"user1"}]}}
{"users":{"user":[{"id":"2","name":"user2"},{"id":"1","name":"user1"}]}}
<users/>
<users><user><id>1</id><name>user1</name></user></users>
<users><user><id>2</id><name>user2</name></user><user><id>1</id><name>user1</name></user></users>
----
however with the array fix you get:
----
null
{"user":{"id":"1","name":"user1"}}
{"user":[{"id":"2","name":"user2"},{"id":"1","name":"user1"}]}
<users/>
<users><user><id>1</id><name>user1</name></user></users>
<users><user><id>2</id><name>user2</name></user><user><id>1</id><name>user1</name></user></users>
----
if I remove the array fix then I get the correct "users" prefix, but
no brackets:
----
{"users":null}
{"users":{"user":{"id":"1","name":"user1"}}}
{"users":{"user":[{"id":"2","name":"user2"},{"id":"1","name":"user1"}]}}
<users/>
<users><user><id>1</id><name>user1</name></user></users>
<users><user><id>2</id><name>user2</name></user><user><id>1</id><name>user1</name></user></users>
----
This is quickly turning into a major problem for me since I cannot
present my AJAX programmers with a stable logical JSON interface.
Either they have to hack around missing brackets or they will have to
deal with missing type information. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.
