Hi, Yeah, if it's only a single root element which is dealt with and this property is set then it would be easy for JSONProvider to wrap again, but if it is not set then it can try to deduce the node name automatically given that in its readFrom() method it has an access to the parent bean instance... Actually, I haven't thought about injecting the node name property but for simple cases it will make it easy and fast indeed for JSONProvider.
So if it sounds like it should work then I will do it in time for the 2.2.3 release. In meantime, you might want to create a custom provider by slightly modifying the existing one (yet again :-), using your idea of injecting a node name property. thanks, Sergey Paul Wilton wrote: > > Yep - > that sounds like something that could work : > just to be clear, you are suggesting simply adding a setter on > JSONProvider > for example setWrappedNodeElement(String nodeName) > that would decorate the InputStream with the nodeName so the JAXB > unmarshalling would go ahead as normal, and unmarshal the decorated JSON > into the bean (specified by the node name) > > Paul > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Sergey Beryozkin [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: 06 July 2009 16:57 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: JSON in CXF - root element dropped > > > Hi Paul > > Yes, I remember we were talking with Tony about it.
