Hi Stephan, Currently we are not creating the REST response. Rather we are making calls to a vendor's REST api.
The response is not going to be readily consumed by a client, which is where I believe the JSON representation would make sense. We are going to persisted a representation of the response into a DB for use with other systems. For example, I query the vendor for all new Purchase Orders, and they return a list of Purchase Orders in xml format. I then want to cast (transform) the xml as PurchaseOrder.java objects so hibernate can easily persist them to the DB. Perhaps the JAXB avenue might work for us. Thx for the response!
