Hi,
Unfortunately, this is an annoying Jersey bug.
Note that JAXB does not know how to serialize Collection<T> so we have
implemented it in Jersey.
In hind sight we should of implemented this, but we cannot change the
default behavior without breaking existing clients that currently rely
on the wire format. We need some addition property to make this
happen. Can you log an issue?
Thanks,
Paul.
