Hi David, Here is a sample MessageBodyReader (and also Writer) that uses JSON-P to parse some "custom" JSON code: https://github.com/eclipse/microprofile-conference/blob/master/microservice-vote/src/main/java/io/microprofile/showcase/vote/api/AttendeeProvider.java
If you are writing this in a client, then you will need to register your MBR with your client like this: Client c = ClientBuilder.newClient(); c.register(AttendeeProvider.class); Hope this helps, Andy On Tue, May 2, 2017 at 11:01 AM KARR, DAVID <[email protected]> wrote: > I've written several small CXF JAX-RS services where I either designed it > "code first" or "schema first".
