To recreate the scenario:
Refer to the RESTful Pet Catalog sample at
http://weblogs.java.net/blog/caroljmcdonald/archive/2008/08/a_restful_pet_c_1.html
You can download the code for this tutorial and change the @XmlRootElement
name to "things" and "thing" for ItemsConverter and ItemConverter,
respectively.
The response turns out to be:
<things>
<item>
...
</item>
</things>
whereas the correct response wouldve been:
<things>
<thing>
...
</thing>
</things>
Also the getItem() method signature seems to be correct:
@XmlElement
public Collection<ItemConverter> getItem() {...}
