looking into resteasy from jboss to replace my DWR Ajax calls..... when using DWR I wrote a converter (those not familiar with DWR you need a converter for different java types) to handle XmlBean objects when marshalled as JSON. XmlBean objects are interfaces which hides the underlying implementation plus when talking JSON in the client I had to send from the server a javascript name for each converted XmlBean. Otherwise the client just fires over JSON which could potentially stand for anything and DWR had no idea which implementation to bind.
to make matters more complicated i have normalized the crap out of POJO objects passed between client/server. basically 2 classes: Element and Relationship whereby elements have relationships. Each Element can represent a CI in a hierarchy of CIs built up in schemas whereby there is a root CI (called Element) and all others extend the root's schema (making descendant CI). So when the Element Pojo is sent through DWR the property holding the XmlObject can hold any descendant of the Element XmlBean CI. want to easy off DWR and start using RestEasy. but RestEasy doesn't do interfaces (read http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/resteasy/freezone/docs/1.0.1.GA/userguide/html/Content_Marshalling_Providers.html#JAXB_INTERFACES) except for using the hardcoded @XmlSeeAlso annotation. thought about writing my own RestEasy provider to handle writes/reads but unsure how to communicate the underlying implementation for XmlBeans? this problem isn't native to just RestEasy. anytime somebody wants to use jax-ws this unmarshaling/marshaling problem must pop up. Jboss doesn't have a RestEasy forum yet so I thought i would post here.
