I just realized that the formParams are returned in a MultiValuedMap
where the key PostalAddress has a List<String> value which looks like
below when using MultiValuedMap.toString()
PostalAddress=[{streetNumber:"65",street:"Marla
Ln.",stateOrProvince:"MA",postalCode:"01867",country:"USA",city:"Reading"},
{streetNumber:"1",street:"Main
St.",stateOrProvince:"MA",postalCode:"01867",country:"USA",city:"Reading"}]
So I have a List<String> that I need to convert to
List<PostalAddressType> where PostalAddressType is the JAXB generated
bean class.
Does this mean that I need to convert each String in List<String> to
PostalAddressType or can I convert List<String> to convert to
List<PostalAddressType> directly?
I would not be asking such detailed questions except that I am finding
the Provoiders.getMessageBodyReader params type and genericType not
obvious. Perhaps its my lack of clarity on java generics.
Thanks for getting me over this hopefully last hurdle on this thread.
