How do I use the Jersey JSON POJO support?

Question

I have an object that I\'d like to serve in JSON as a RESTful resource. I have Jersey\'s JSON POJO support turned on like so (in web.xml):

Answer 1

Why are you using final fields? I'm using jersey and i have some JAXB objects/pojos and all i had to do was simply annotate my resource method with @Produces("application/json") and it works out of the box. I didn't have to mess with the web.xml. Just make sure your pojos are annotated correctly.

Here is a simple pojo

package test;

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;

@XmlRootElement
public class SampleJaxbObject {

    private String field1;

    private Integer field2;

    private String field3;

    public String getField1() {
        return field1;
    }

    public void setField1(String field1) {
        this.field1 = field1;
    }

    public Integer getField2() {
        return field2;
    }

    public void setField2(Integer field2) {
        this.field2 = field2;
    }

    public String getField3() {
        return field3;
    }

    public void setField3(String field3) {
        this.field3 = field3;
    }


}
