For Lists, per JAXB spec, only a setter is generated and it
manipulates the live "list" that is stored in the object. In your
case, it would be something like:
public class MessageTO implements Serializable {
....
private List<String> stuff = new ArrayList<String>();
public List<String> getStuff() {
return stuff;
}
....
}
and you would populate it with something like:
msg.getStuff().addAll(myData);
That's what the spec calls for. Note: getStuff() always returns a non-
null list. The stuff field always has a value.

Hello,
I am trying to use this JavaBean object as a message that I am passing

I am trying to do this with Apache CXF 2.1 with the JAX-WS/JAXB
implementation. I can get most of it to work with the dynamic client,
except for the List property "stuff", which doesn't work.
Here is some code that I wrote that prints a list of methods and their
parameters from the MessageTO bean class:
*** code sample from dynamic client ***
URL[] classURLS = { new URL("http://mymessagews/MessageReceiver";) };
URLClassLoader classLoader = new URLClassLoader(classURLS);
DynamicClientFactory dcf = DynamicClientFactory.newInstance();
Client client =
dcf.createClient("http://localhost:9000/MessageReceiver?wsdl";,
classLoader);
Object message =
Thread
.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass("mymessagews.Me
ssageTO").newInstance();
Method[] methods = message.getClass().getMethods();
for (Method m : methods) {
System.out.print("[ Method name: " + m.getName());
Class[] params = m.getParameterTypes();
for (Class p : params) {
System.out.print("\n\tParam: " + p.getName());
}
System.out.print("\n\tReturn: " +
m.getReturnType().getName());
System.out.println(" ]");
}
*** end code sample ***
*** output of above codesnippet ***

The getter seems to be there, but the setter is not. Is there any kind
of annotation that I can use to get java.util.List to work, so that I
can call the setStuff(List<String> stuff) method with the dynamic
JAX-WS
client?
Sadly, aegis is not an option because I can't get that to work with
the
dynamic client. I have poured over as much documentation as I could
find, but I couldn't seem to find a way to get this working.
Thanks!
