OK, thanks for the info. I'll have a look asap.
FYI, I thing this what I believe the original client code can be
simplified. You may have a much simpler injection code directly with
jaxrs:client, accept & content-type headers can also be set on
jaxrs:client, so you only should get either a proxy injected or
WebClient (set 'serviceClass' attribute to a full WebClient class name).
At the moment I suspect that a client proxy may not be providing a
correct type info to Jackson given a somewhat complex interface
declaration, I'll check. Please try using WebClient directly in meantime
Thanks for suggestion; this works as expected:
WebClient client = restClientFactory.createWebClient().
path("http://localhost:9080/syncope/cxf/schemas/user/NORMAL/fullname";).
accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
SchemaTO schema = client.get(SchemaTO.class);
Looking forward to see how client code could be simplified (and
working...).
Thanks for the update. I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is.
When we have a proxy, all it sees is
<T extends AbstractSchemaTO> T read(@PathParam("kind") AttributableType
kind, @PathParam("type") SchemaType type, @PathParam("name") String
schemaName);
Now the problem here is that SchemaTO.class is not visible to proxy, so
what it reports to Jackson is that it expects an instrance of
AbstractSchemaTO.class back (which is all it can find from the signature).
I wonder if "T extends AbstractSchemaTO" needs to pushed up from all the
methods to the interface declaration, and even after that is done, we
probably need to add a new factory method, so that one can do
SchemaService<SchemaTO> service = JAXRSClientFactory.create(address, new
GenericType<SchemaService<SchemaTO>>(){});
(using JAX-RS 2.0 GenericType)
So that when we do
proxy.read(...), the proxy is capable of passing the correct info to the
providers,
So, it is an interesting enhancement to deal with :-) (won't make into
2.7.6 though, Dan is busy with doing the release as we speak), but in
meantime using WebClient will do
Thanks, Sergey

Hi Francesco,
How do you use WebClient, let me know and I'll will check
(restClientFactory is injected via Spring)
restClientFactory.setServiceClass(SchemaService.class);
final T serviceProxy = restClientFactory.create(SchemaService.class);
WebClient.client(serviceProxy).type(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
then
serviceProxy.read(AttributableType.USER, SchemaType.NORMAL,
"firstname"));
this last statement throws the exception reported below.
These are the last lines of the CXF client logging when executing the

Hi all,
I have a quite silly question, probably due to my inexperience with
CXF.
Basically, in Syncope we have a set of CXF services producing both XML
and JSON (via Jackson).
At high level, I have troubles when reading JSON payload, via
WebClient;
the same input string (received as Payload), when given to a bare
Jackson's ObjectMapper instance, works like a charm.
More in detail, the CXF service configuration is the one at [1].
When issuing, with header "Accept: application/json", an HTTP GET
/syncope/cxf/schemas/user/NORMAL/fullname (e.g. read() as defined at
[2]), it returns
{
"name": "fullname",
"type": "String",
"mandatoryCondition": "true",
"enumerationValues": null,
"enumerationKeys": null,
"multivalue": false,
"uniqueConstraint": true,
"readonly": false,
"conversionPattern": null,
"validatorClass": null
}
which looks correct; in fact I am easily able to deserialize such
input via
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
SchemaTO actual = mapper.readValue(writer.toString(),
SchemaTO.class);
but when I try to use WebClient for accessing the same read() method I
get stuck with
ClassCastException: java.util.LinkedHashMap cannot be cast to
org.apache.syncope.common.to.AbstractSchemaTO
which looks definitely like a Jackson exception.
For additional reference, here is my client's Spring configuration [3]
(see 'restClientFactory') and the AbstractSchemaTO [4] and SchemaTO
classes [5].
Nevertheless to say, switching to "Accept: application/xml" makes
everything work again.
I am using CXF 2.7.6-SNAPSHOT (this in order to be able to use Jackson
2.2.2).
Any hint?
Regards.
