Hi Philipp
Sergey,
sorry, I was not aware that this has already been discussed before. I think I
am unable to check out the latest trunk for the
time being, but I will check the next release for your fix (and see if the NPE goes
away). As for the List<Order> ... yes, I
have already figured out that JAXB does not work this way, and changed my
implementation to return an 'OrderList', which is a
simple JavaBean wrapper for a List<Order> (similar to the one example you have
online).
That's another solution, yes. I think that NPE in your version of CXF is
actually caused by the fact no
provider has been found for List<Order>...
However, let me gratulate you guys for the JAX-RS implementation in CXF :) So
far, I had a very enjoyable time working with it. I
think this could finally be what makes RESTful services the real deal in
enterprise computing.
Many thanks. I think the credits should actually go to the people behind JAX-RS.
Be aware though that the current CXF JAX-RS is far from the ideal state yet (even after the latest update) compared to good
implementations like Jersey, so don't be surprized if you hit few more NPEs :-)
As for the RESTful services and enterprise computing I hope CXF can be a pretty good platform to play with due to its top-class
JAX-WS support and now due its capability to support JAX-RS services too - there could be some interesting combinations there ('mix
and match' of JAX-WS and JAX-RS - I'm of opinion that both paradigms can live well together, etc...).
Cheers, Sergey
all the best,
philipp
