jaxb2

I'd like know how do to a method return a JSON array of List, for example: @GET @Produces("application/json") public List<String> aMethod(){ return Array.asList("text1", "text2", "text3"); } I'd want to know, how do to receive a List argument type in my method, for example @PUT @Consumes("application/json") void otherMethod(List<String>){ // do something ; } I've read about JaxbContext, I understanding how it can help me. With JAXB there are two type's of List supported. The first is a List of elements, the second a delimited string (a "normal" XML value or attribute, which is parsed into a

I have created three JAXB class : Home , Person , Animal . Java Class Home have variable List<Object> any that may contain Person and/or Animal instance . public class Home { @XmlAnyElement(lax = true) protected List<Object> any; //setter getter also implemented } @XmlRootElement(name = "Person") // Edited public class Person { protected String name; //setter getter also implemented } @XmlRootElement(name = "Animal") // Edited public class Animal { protected String name; //setter getter also implemented } /* After Unmarshalling */ Home home ; for(Object obj : home .getAny()){ if(obj instanceof

I'm using Java 6, JaxB 2 and SpringSource Tool Suite (same as Eclipse). I had a couple of Java classes I wrote, from which I used JaxB to generate an XML schema. However, I'm noticing in order to use JaxB's ability to generate an XML document from Java objects, I need an ObjectFactory. final Marshaller marshaller = jaxbContext.createMarshaller(); // Here is where I don't have an ObjectFactory defined final JAXBElement<WebLeads> webLeadsElement = (new ObjectFactory()).createWebLeads(webLeadsJavaObj); How can I generate an ObjectFactory without blowing away the classes I already have now? UPDATE

Are you aware of any good JAXB Plugin which generated Builder pattern classes for the generated JAXB classes? Composing domain using JAXB generated classes is really nasty. I saw a plugin someone wrote back in 2010 but it doesn't use the newest maven plugin jaxb2-maven-plugin, and it also requires you to specify bindings for each schema type which is not robust. Yes, there is now a plugin to generate fluent builders for JAXB-generated classes. There is a github project on https://github.com/mklemm/jaxb2-rich-contract-plugin It contains a couple of useful JAXB plugins. You can download source

I've got such xml construction which I need to convert into java objects using JAXB: <elements> <elemet> <type></type> <property1></property1> <property2></property2> <items> <item> <id></id> <name></name> </item> ... <item> <id></id> <name></name> </item> </items> </element> </elements> I should convert this construction not into element with nested list of items but into several elements one for every item. Here is example of Element class: class Element { Integer type; String property1; String property2; Integer itemId; String itemName; } I want to get list of them after unmarshalling. Type
