Hi Tatu -
I'm using 1.5. So you are saying there should be no wrapping by default with
POJO support? That's what I am seeing. So for example if I have:
@XmlRootElement
public class MyEntityDTO {
private long id;
private String computer;
private long operation;
private List<AnotherEntityDTO> moreDTOs;
...
I get some JSON that looks like this:
{"id":7,"operation":1,"computer":"AAA", "moreDTOs":[]}
as opposed to JSON that includes the wrapped XmlRootElement like so:
{"myEntityDTO":{"id":7,"operation":1,"computer":"AAA", "moreDTOs":[]}}
So I guess from the sound of it I can't have my cake (wrapping) and POJO
support until 1.7. Is it possible to get wrapped empty arrays (like POJO
support is giving me with *"moreDTOs":[] *using JAXB natural or some other
flavor that supports wrapping?
Cheers,
-Noah
