Hi
You can possibly overcome this issue in the JAX-RS implementation by writing a custom JAXB context resolver which is supported in
0.7 JAX-RS API.
Please look at [1] for details.

Yes, it's supported in CXF now too...If creating a custom
jaxbContext/marshaller can fix this issue then another
option is to provide a custom JAXB ObjectFactory which will do the same what the custom JAX-RS ContextResolver implementation would
do in this case...
Also, there's always an option to override a default (JSON) provider, for ex, by relying upon some alternative java json
implementations...
Cheers, Sergey

I THINK this is an artifact of how jettison works. You might want to ask on the jettison list though. Basically, if jettison
sees two elements of the same name in a row, it's an array, otherwise, it's a single value.

Is there a way to make this do the right thing?
If I have a schema like this:
<xs:element name="A">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Foo" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1"
maxOccurs="1"/>
<xs:element name="Bar" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1"
maxOccurs="1"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="ArrayOfA">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="A" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
and a REST method returning an ArrayOfA, I get structurally different results depending on if there's one A or more than one A
in the result:
$ curl http://localhost:2259/myService/single
{"s.ArrayOfA":{"s.A":{"s.Foo":"foo","s.Bar":"bar"}}}
$ curl http://localhost:2259/myService/multiple
{"s.ArrayOfA":{"s.A":[{"s.Foo":"foo1","s.Bar":"bar1"},{"s.Foo":"foo2","s.Bar":"bar2"}]}}
In the first case, I get a Javascript object 'A' that has Foo and Bar directly on it. In the latter, that same object is the
array I was expecting. So everywhere I get an object like this back from my service, I have to explicitly check if it's the
first or second case and handle it slightly differently, rather than just iterating over A even if it's an array with one
element.
