Hi John,
Currently the only way you can define the XML root element name for a
list of JAXB elements is to create a wrapper using JAXB.
We could support an annotation on the resource method that defines the
root element name, but this of course means that you need to utilize
this annotation every time you return the list. It would be better if
there was an explicit type that could be reused, for example:
public JAXBList<T> extends ArrayList<T> implements
XmlRootElementIdentifier {
QName getRootElementName() { ... }
}
