Re: pretty printing XML

[Sergey Beryozkin]

Hi John

You're nearly there, please do
<jaxrs:server id="defectResource" address="/">
   <jaxrs:serviceBeans>
     <ref bean="defectResourceBean"/>
   </jaxrs:serviceBeans>
   <jaxrs:providers>
     <ref bean="jaxbProvider"/>
   </jaxrs:providers>
 </jaxrs:server>
<jaxrs:server>

This way you can associate multiple JAXB providers with slightly different 
settings with multiple endpoints in the same context....

I'm sorry yourself and some other users are havig some hard time in seeing the simple apps up and running. I think CXF JAXRS docs 
have plenty of info but a GettingStarted guide and FAQ are needed urgently...

thanks, Sergey

Hi Sergey,

I found some other sample XML on the web, and it appears to amount to this:

 <bean id="jaxbProvider" 
class="org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.JAXBElementProvider">
   <property name="marshallerProperties">
     <map>
       <entry key="jaxb.formatted.output">
         <value type="java.lang.Boolean">true</value>
       </entry>
     </map>
   </property>
 </bean>

Yet, even this doesn't work (nor does "TRUE").  The XML still comes back without whitespace, when I make a REST call, and with no 
particular formatting.

I know it's at least looking at this value because when I try to, e.g., change it to "marshallerPropertiesx" (to put a typo in it), 
it complains, and suggests "marshallerProperties" for me.  So, I think the setting is fine.  Somehow, CXF and JAXB just aren't 
connecting the dots.

I'm using a Spring-based approach now, to my knowledge.  My web.xml says:

 <context-param>
   <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
   <param-value>WEB-INF/beans.xml</param-value>
 </context-param>

 <listener>
   <listener-class>
     org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
   </listener-class>
 </listener>

 <servlet>
   <servlet-name>CDETSWSAPI</servlet-name>
   <display-name>CDETS Web Services API</display-name>
   <servlet-class>
     org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet
   </servlet-class>
   <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
 </servlet>

 <servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>CDETSWSAPI</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>/v1/*</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>

while my beans.xml says:

 <bean id="defectResourceBean" 
class="com.cisco.cdets.wsapi.resources.DefectResource"/>

 <jaxrs:server id="defectResource" address="/">
   <jaxrs:serviceBeans>
     <ref bean="defectResourceBean"/>
   </jaxrs:serviceBeans>
 </jaxrs:server>

 <bean id="jaxbProvider" 
class="org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.JAXBElementProvider">
   <property name="marshallerProperties">
     <map>
       <entry key="jaxb.formatted.output">
         <value type="java.lang.Boolean">true</value>
       </entry>
     </map>
   </property>
 </bean>

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi

I'm sorry, that property has to be of type java.lang.Boolean according
to the Marshaller docs. I'm not sure right now how to specify from
Spring that a given map value should be of Boolean type, does anyone
know how to do it ?
I'll give it a try tomorrow

Thanks, Sergey

Sorry...  I meant to say that the primary docs (for JAX-RS in CXF) is
where I got the same XML from.  It doesn't work for me, though.  So, I
went looking online, and found the osdir.com reference to doing it
programmatically.

Regardless, just looking to get it to work via a configuration setting.

Saw this thread:

http://osdir.com/ml/users-cxf-apache/2009-09/msg00014.html

but am wondering how this would be done in a config file.  I saw an
example somewhere that says to use:

<bean id="jaxbProvider"
class="org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.JAXBElementProvider">
  <property name="marshallerProperties" ref="propertiesMap"/>
</bean>
<util:map id="propertiesMap" map-class="java.util.Hashtable">
  <entry key="jaxb.formatted.output" value="true"/>
</util:map>

This seems to have no effect, however.

Basically, I'm trying to get my JAX-RS resources to come back looking
"nice".
