I guess I misunderstood the question,
I see that you'd like nulls being reported without having to set a JAXB
nillable property, so no we can't do it. What is possible is to set a
nillable property but then configure JSONProvider to ignore xsi:nil &&
xsi:type attributes by setting its 'writeXsiType' property to false;

Hi
I think we should enhance JSONProvider with a property like ignoreNull,
false by default may be, if true - no null values will be reported

Hi
I have build a rest WS with CXF and what it does is fetching data from a
database and returns a list of POJO objects e.g. List<Book>
@XmlRootElement
public Book{
String title;
String author;
getters and setters...
}
Currently I have used the extentionMapping to get my result in json,
jsonp
and xml. In order to get the .jsonp I have over-ridden the writeTo of the
org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.json.JSONProvider
<jaxrs:extensionMappings>
<entry key="json" value="application/json" />
<entry key="xml" value="application/xml" />
<entry key="jsonp" value="application/javascript" />
</jaxrs:extensionMappings>
So lets say that in my List<Book> that I return in my with the
Response.status(Status.OK).entity(new GenericEntity<List<Book>>(books)
{}).build();
the author in some of the Book objects is null then in the response the
fields that was null will not be displayed. I know that if I set the
(nillable="true") in my Book then I will get the null fields in my
response.
Is there any way to give to the user the option (with a query parameter
?returnNull=true) to set if he wants to get the null values back or not?
Thanks
