Bad JSON marshalling of List<String> object
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: CXF-3341
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3341
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JAX-RS
    Affects Versions: 2.3.2
         Environment: Ubuntu 10.04 64Bit Server
            Reporter: Ilya Kramer


Wrong result returned by marshalling an object with List<String>. The result 
some why depends on the actual amount of elements on the list.

for example , this code

{code:xml} 
package ldtv.api.models;

import java.util.List;


import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;

@XmlRootElement(name = "user")
public class LDTVSites {
        
        private List<String> sites;

        public LDTVSites(List<String> sites) {

                setSites(sites);

        }

        public LDTVSites() {
        }

        public void setSites(List<String> listSites) {
                this.sites = listSites;
        }
        
        @XmlElement(name="sites")
        public List<String> getSites(){
                return sites;
        }

}
{/code}

if getSites returns a list with single result, the result of the function will 
be
{"user":{"sites":"string"}}

whereas if the result is two strings in the list , the output will be
{"user":{"sites":["string","string2"]}}

this makes some sense in XML , it shouldn't be so in JSON since the values of 
the two expressions is different
