Automatic Type Converters for Restful Clients
---------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-3617
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3617
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: JAX-RS
Reporter: Shaun Elliott
Given the following interface:
{code}
@POST
@Path( "execute" )
@Produces( "application/json" )
MyObject execute( MyObject myObject );
{code}
One must provide MessageBodyReader\Writer or face the following exception:
{code}
Exception in thread "main" org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: .No message body
writer found for class : class com.company.datatype.normal.MyObject.

{code}
Other competing libraries (such as Restlet) support automatic type mapping out
of the box via XStream and Jackson. Given CXF's compliance to JAX-RS it would
be helpful if this boilerplate type code were given out of the box too.
