Hi Dan,
Thanks a lot for the helpful suggestions.
I was thinking only in terms of interceptor, and breaking my head...
Anyways,
"MyList" is not an implementation of java.util.List, however, I can try
to convert it to implement java.util.List, so, question is, If I just
define "MyList" the following way:
Public interface MyList extends java.util.List{}
Is that sufficient, or will there be any kind of ClassCastException
(like when the CXF unmarshal/marshal, would expect an
ArrayList/Vector/..)
Can I request your recommendations in terms of performance, which
approach would be better, weather to extend MyList to List, and then
annotate it, or use XmlJavaTypeAdapter?
Thanks Again,
Best Regards
Kuga

If "MyList" is a List, the easiest is to jst add a method:
public List<Item> getItems() {
return items;
}
and move the JAXB annotations onto it instead of the field. The
runtime will use that method to get the list. It will use that to
call list.add(..) to populate it or the iterator to write it. You
could actually return an object that implements List that wrappers
your real object.
If it DOESN'T implement the list, you'll need to write an
XmlJavaTypeAdapter that maps your type to/from the appropriate List.
The java_frist_jaxws sample shows one of those for mapping Maps.
