I am using JAX-RS and CXF 2.1.3. I have value objects that model my JSON
schemas and usually everything works great. The problem is that I when a
list of objects only contains one item then the resulting JSON is not
serialized as an array, but as an object. Example:
I have a list called "tags" that contains TagVO objects. A TagVO simply
contains 2 string fields, called "name" and "group". If I have two or more
objects in that list then it is serialized as follows:
{tags:[{name: "tag1", group: "group1"},{name: "tag2", group: "group2"}]}
So far so good. However, if there is only one item, I will get the
following:
{tags:{name: "tag1", group: "group1"}}
Which is obviously not correct.
I've found a few mentions of this issue in CXF but with no solutions.
Jersey has the same issue but I found a blog article that explains how to
fix it in their framework (
http://blogs.sun.com/japod/entry/missing_brackets_at_json_one see here ).
Is there anything that can be done about this in CXF though? This is really
a showstopper for our project and needs to be resolved, and seems like a
major issue in general.
Any help would be appreciated.
