Hi Jakub,
Sure. I abstracted out a simple project (basically a CXF JAXWS sample) that
shows interfaces works with JAXB adapters.
Attaching it as a maven project. Run the Server and run the Client code and
it should work just fine.
Do you think this can be supported in Jersey? I can log an enhancement
request with a similar JAX-RS sample.
Let me know.
Thanks!
