Hi Sanjay,
There is no converter helper for JAXB yet. This is planned for Restlet 2.0 M5. You can track this RFE: “Upgrade extensions to use Restlet 2.0 APIs” http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=855 If you want to contribute a JaxbConverter, that would be very welcome. You can look at the XmlConverter class in the org.restlet.ext.xml extension for guidance. Best regards, Jerome Louvel -- Restlet ~ Founder and Lead developer ~ <http://www.restlet.org/> http://www.restlet.org Noelios Technologies ~ Co-founder ~ <http://www.noelios.com/> http://www.noelios.com De : Sanjay Acharya [mailto:[email protected]] Envoyé : samedi 15 août 2009 18:14 À : [email protected] Objet : Restlet 2.0 Jaxb Question I am trying to work with the annotation based approach in Restlet using Jaxb for XML binding. One of my goals to keep the code more consice than what I would have done with Restlet 1.0. @XmlRootEntity public class Foo { .... } @XmlRootEntity public class FooResponse { .... } 1. Expect and Return Jaxb Objects @Post("xml:xml") public FooResponse createFoo(Foo foo) { } The above signature is similar to how a Post would be handled in JaxRS. I however do not find automatic conversion of the XML payload into Foo. 2. Accept and Return JaxbRepresentations @Post("xml:xml") public JaxbRepresentation<FooResponse> createFoo(JaxbRepresentation<Foo> rep) { ... } With the above method as well, the argument to the method appears as null. It appears that the Converter Service is not finding a match for converting the xml payload into a JaxbRepresentation or Foo 3. Accept Representation @Post("xml:xml") public JaxbRepresentation<FooResponse> createFoo(Representation rep) { JaxbRepresentation fooJaxbRep = new JaxbRepresentation(rep, Foo.class); ... ... return new JaxbRepresentation<FooResponse>(...); } The above solution works for me. However, there are too many steps that I need to write to get the JAXB object and provide a response. If I decide that I would like to use JAXB through out my entire application, do I need to extend and register a Custom Converter service to achieve either option 1 or option 2?
