Tom,
This is what I setup for a very basic sample project that I created for our
project to use as a starting point for JSON. I think your setup looks good,
but I did not use the JSON Provider parameters that you have setup. I built
this with CXF 2.5.2. It was able to (un)marshall the JSON correctly for me
on the server side and I used a similar setup for the WebClient class.
beans.xml:
...
<jaxrs:server id="myServer" address="/sample">
<jaxrs:providers>
<ref bean="jsonProvider" />
</jaxrs:providers>
<jaxrs:serviceBeans>
<ref bean="myBean" />
</jaxrs:serviceBeans>
</jaxrs:server>
<bean id="myBean" class="com.hp.exstream.sample.SampleRestJsonImpl" />
<bean id="jsonProvider"
class="org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.JSONProvider">
<property name="ignoreNamespaces" value="true" />
</bean>
...
Web Service Interface class:
@Path("/")
public interface SampleRestJson {
@POST
@Produces("application/json")
@Consumes("application/json")
@ElementClass(response = ResponseData.class, request =
RequestData.class)
@Path("/request")
public ResponseData request1(RequestData req);
}
RequestData:
@XmlRootElement
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class RequestData {
private String stringData;
private int intData;
...
}
ResponseData:
@XmlRootElement
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class ResponseData {
private String stringData;
private int intData;
...
}
HTH,
Shane
