Kaloyan Kolev commented on WINK-218:
------------------------------------

No. Any new extension elements are set to the AtomEntry#any field so they get 
picked up when the instance is serialized as AtomEntry. Isn't that is why the 
GenericEntity is used - to provide a super type to use when serializing. 

> GenericEntity's generic type is not used when choosing provider.

> I have created a subclass of the AtomEntry, let's say XAtomEntry. When I 
> return that as an entity resource I get exception that there is no provider 
> for that type. The exception is thrown by FlushResultHandler. I tried to wrap 
> the new type in a GenericEntity with a generic type set to AtomEntry, but the 
> result was the same.
> Here is the check for the GenericEntity:
> {code}
>  Class<?> rawType = null;
>         if (entity instanceof GenericEntity) {
>             GenericEntity<?> genericEntity = (GenericEntity<?>)entity; 
>             entity = genericEntity.getEntity(); // this is the XAtomEntity 
> instance
>             rawType = genericEntity.getRawType(); // this is the  XAtomEntity 
> class
>             genericType = genericEntity.getType(); // this is the AtomEntity 
> class
>         } else {
>             rawType = (entity != null ? entity.getClass() : null);
>             if (isOriginalEntityResponseObj) {
>                 genericType = rawType;
>             } else {
>                 genericType = (genericType != null ? genericType : rawType);
>             }
>         }
> {code}
> This should match the default JAXBXmlProvider, right? 
> Later a provider is searched for:
> {code}
> // get the provider to write the entity
>         Providers providers = context.getProviders();
>         MessageBodyWriter<Object> messageBodyWriter =
>             (MessageBodyWriter<Object>)providers.getMessageBodyWriter(rawType,
>
