Hi,
  I was trying to create a simple library books catalog application, and
landed into the following issue:

I have these classes:
1.
@XmlType
public class Book {
...
}
2.
@XmlElement
public class Books {

   protected List<Book> bookList;

  .....
 
  public Books addBook(Book book) {
    ...
   }
}
3.
@Path("books")
public class BooksCatalog {
   ....
   @PUT
   @Consumes("application/xml")
   public Books addBookToCatalog(Book book)
  {

  }

}

     When I call this PUT method, the following error is thrown:
 A message body writer for Java type, class
com.sun.jersey.demo.objects.Book, and MIME media type, application/xml,
was not found

Now, the question is do we have to create a Writer for classes which are
annotated by @XmlType too?
I thought its taken care of internally for JAXB annotated classes, or is
it just for the classes which are annotated by @XmlRootElement that it
is taken care of ? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

   Note: I have tried this with NetBeans wizard, I think it uses Jersey
1.0.1.

Thanks,
Naresh
