Hi,
There are a few threads on this already which I have read but am still
unsure. So basically I want to use Jaxb to return a list of items in
json. This works nicely if I create a wrapper class which basically just
contains a list and is annoted with the @XmlRootElement. But I don't
really like having to keep creating these classes which are essentially
just wrappers. Ideally I could just populate a list and then return
that.
For example:
@GET
@Produces("application/json")
@Path("all")
public Response getAllConfigurations(){
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add("hello");
list.add("world");
GenericEntity<List<String>> entity = new
GenericEntity<List<String>>(list) {};
Response response = Response.ok(entity).build();
return response;
}
I tried playing around with a GeneriEntity class but it still complains
about there not being a response writer for this type of object?
So this is the type of wrapper class I have been creating:
@XmlRootElement
public class ModuleList {
private List<Module> moduleList;
public ModuleList(){}
public ModuleList(List<Module> moduleList) {
this.moduleList = moduleList;
}
public List<Module> getModuleList() {
return moduleList;
}
public void setModuleList(List<Module> moduleList) {
this.moduleList = moduleList;
}
}
Ideally I would like to just populate a List with my Module object and
return that to save me having to create all these additonal classes and
populate them.
Thanks
Jon
