Hi, I'm developing a web service and I need it to accept a polymorphic parameter. For example, imagine an operation named processRequests(List<Request> requests) which may accept a "Request" and a "CustomRequest" type (extending from Request) and possibly some others. It is my understanding that it should be possible to achieve however no matter how I do it I allways get the parameter unmarshaled as the base class and if I place any of the subtype's properties I get an unmarshall exception (unexpected element).
I'm testing by using SOAP UI and the request parameter is as the following: <requests xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:type="customRequest"> </request> And the pojos look as the following: @XmlRootElement @XmlSeeAlso({CustomRequest.class}) publc class Request {} public class CustomRequest extends Request{} It may be worth to note that I'm developing this as an EJB web service with JBoss 7 and I'd say the cxf version is 2.4.8. I'd say this should work but I cannot get it to work... Moreover the wsdl does not displays the subtype definition so I had to manually add this definition but the situation has not changed. Your help will be appreciated!
