Thanks for the quick reply! That worked perfectly...
Thanks again, // Chris Dunphy -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Kulp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2008 1:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Using a JavaBean which contains a java.util.List property with CXF JAX-WS/JAXB front-end 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.
