Has anybody tried getting the collection out from the Response on the
client side ?

Subject: RE: Handling Collection<JAXBElement> returns via JAX-RS

Hi Gabo

Yeah, I agree, in some cases names like 'Historys' do no look right :-)
but it can be tricky to come with the universally acceptable collection
name, as CXF supports now explicit arrays, lists, base collections and
sets. 
One can override it by setting a global 'collectionWrapperName' or
'collectionWrapperMap' property on
a JAXBElementProvider bean. 'collectionWrapperMap' is a map property,
keys are collectionWrapperNames and values are class names, or ex, if a
given service returns History and Datum then one would use this
property.

CollectionWrapperName can be a simple name like 'ListOfHistory' or an
expanded QName like
'{http://history}ListOfHistory'. In the latter case a 'ns1' prefix will
be bound to an {http://history} namespace. 

By the way, I've been working on updating the JAX-RS docs for the last 2
days, so it's all documented now :

http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/jax-rs.html#JAX-RS-Handlingexplicitcoll
ections

but I'm going to spend more time on improving the docs.

thanks, Sergey

Just tested the latest release 2.2.3. The rest services handle the 
collections. Just a comment though, I think it would be better to use 
'ArrayOf_<XMLRootElement name attribute>'. It just looks weird to have a

tag like 'Historys' or 'Datums' (along with other words that have 
special case of plurality) or maybe adding an attribute to the 
annotation to specify the plural term to be used.
