Hello, I am using com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs.json.JacksonJsonProvider to 
generate a JSON output of my objects. However when a List has only one 
element the JSON output I get is that of a single object and not a list of 
objects. 

For example if I have a List<User> users = new ArrayList() with only one 
User object in this I get the following output:

"users" : { "username" : "hello" }

and not

"users" : [{"username" : "hello" }

I have been looking on the internet for a solution but could not find any 
(using fasterxml jackson library was listed as a solution initself which is 
why I am using it now). I initialise my JacksonJsonProvider as follows:


        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        return new JacksonJsonProvider(mapper);

And the list is annotated as follows:

@XmlElement(name="users")
List<User> users = new ArrayList<>();

What can I do to force JacksonJsonProvider to output a java.util.List 
always as a list in JSON even when such list has only one element?
