I'm returning an instance of the following paraphrased class from my handler
method:
@XmlType(name = "activeThings", propOrder = {"things"})
@XmlRootElement(name = "activeThings")
public class GetActiveThingsResponse extends ResponseBase {
@XmlElementWrapper(name = "things")
@XmlElement(name = "thing")
private List<Thing> things;
Where "ResponseBase" looks like this:
@XmlType(name = "responseBase")
public class ResponseBase {
@XmlElementWrapper(name = "errors")
@XmlElement(name = "error")
private List<Error> errors;
private boolean lastBlock;
When this is rendered as XML, it looks like this:
<activeThings
xmlns="namespace"><lastBlock>false</lastBlock><things><thing><id>1</id></thing></things></activeThings>
This is fine.
When it's rendered as JSON, it looks like this:
{"things":[{"id":1,"longDescription":null,"displayName":null,"description":null}],"errors":[],"lastBlock":false}
This looks reasonable, but when WebClient tries to "get" the object of this
type, it fails with this:
Apr 26, 2011 8:48:05 AM org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.AbstractJAXBProvider
handleJAXBException
WARNING: javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException
- with linked exception:
[javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: unexpected element (uri:"",
local:"things"). Expected elements are <{namespace}activeThings>]
This is happening in my unit tests, not in my core code, but it's still
preventing me from testing some aspects of the JSON rendering.
