Hi,
I have written a REST service using the default CXF jettison provider to handle
JSON. When returning JSON which should contain lists I have experienced the
issue of single lists being returned as an element.
Using the serializeAsArray and the arrayKeys property of the JSONProvider I am
able to stop this happening and get the correct response.
My questions are:
A) I have read that Jettison will not encounter this problem because of the way
that the java is marshalled, but the downside is it cannot validate a JSON
request/response. As request and response validation is essential can this be
done in Jackson, and are there any other advantages in moving to Jackson over
Jettison.
B) If I stick with jettison is there anyway to avoid having to populate the
arrayKeys property with all the elements i wish to be a list and still achieve
the same result?
ThanksAndy
