One thing to note is that while Jackson does support root element
wrapping (SerializationConfig.Feature.WRAP_ROOT_VALUE), it is based on
root value instance type.
And if type happens to be List or Map, that List or Map type must have
@XmlRootElement annotation.
Alternatively it is possible to override
JacksonAnnotationIntrospector.findRootName(annotatedClass) method to
define custom handling.
Aside from that, I personally prefer more explicit handling of
wrapping by just introducing either single-entry Map, or
single-property POJO, instead of relying on other methods for
injecting extra layers. Sometimes more explicit approach is simpler
and works better than magic features.
