Hi all, I am trying to build a RESTful web service... In short, I am having trouble posting Java objects with member references from client side to server side.
I have mostly followed the example under "apache-cxf-2.3.3/samples/jax_rs/basic". I have two major problems now... 1) Handle objects with references. For example, a customer may have a list of orders, and an order may be linked back to a customer. So, how can I (or indeed what is the best way to) post an "Order" object with a link to a "Customer" object to "/customerservice/orders"? 2) The example uses annotations like "XmlRootElement" to enable sort of automated conversioning from java objects to XML/json data. But this conversion seems to be broken when I add references into a class definition. For example, when I post an "Order" object to "/customerservice/orders", the server reports "No message body reader has been found for request class Order", (even though the customer ref is set to null). Thanks. -Simon
