Hi Kevin,
There is an example in the distribution for using JAXB with JSON.
Just use the JAXB element directly:
@POST
@Consumes("application/xml")
public void postJAXBBean(MyJAXBBean b) { ... }
@GET
@Produces("application/xml")
public MyJAXBBean getJAXBBean() { ... }
If you want JSON do this:
@POST
@Consumes({"application/xml", "application/json"})
public void postJAXBBean(MyJAXBBean b) { ... }
@GET
@Produces({"application/xml", "application/json"})
public MyJAXBBean getJAXBBean() { ... }
It is important that MuJAXBBean is annotated with @XMLElement. If you
want to use a JAXB type you can do:
@POST
@Consumes({"application/xml", "application/json"})
public void postJAXBType(JAXBElement<MyJAXBType> b) { ... }
@GET
@Produces({"application/xml", "application/json"})
public JAXBElement<MyJAXBType> getJAXBType() { ... }
It is possible to configure the JSON output as well (search this list
for JSONJAXBContext) as often the default mapping of JAXB beans to
JSON can be too verbose or not quite right for JSON consumers.
Paul.
