Hi,
I am currently trying to enrich the WADL auto-generated by CXF 2.7.7 in
Syncope.
I currently have these Spring beans defined:
<bean id="wadlGenerator"
class="org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.model.wadl.WadlGenerator">
<property name="applicationTitle" value="Apache Syncope
${project.version}"/>
<property name="namespacePrefix" value="syncope"/>
<property name="linkJsonToXmlSchema" value="true"/>
<property name="useJaxbContextForQnames" value="true"/>
<property name="ignoreMessageWriters" value="true"/>
<property name="addResourceAndMethodIds" value="true"/>
</bean>
and
<jaxrs:server id="restContainer" address="/"
staticSubresourceResolution="true">
<!-- snip -->
<jaxrs:providers>
<ref bean="jaxbProvider"/>
<ref bean="jsonProvider"/>
<ref bean="exceptionMapper"/>
<ref bean="wadlGenerator"/>
</jaxrs:providers>
</jaxrs:server>
I am currently testing one of available services that now looks as
follows (showing only a couple of methods for simplicity):
@Path("users")
@Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
@Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
public interface UserService {
@GET
@Path("{userId}")
@Descriptions(
@Description(target = DocTarget.METHOD, value = "Returns a
single user matching the provided userId"))
UserTO read(@PathParam("userId") Long userId);
@GET
@XMLName("{http://syncope.apache.org/1.1}users";)
List<UserTO> list();
}
Now, while the former becomes (in the WADL)
<method name="GET" id="read">
<doc>Returns a single user matching the provided userId</doc>
<request/>
<response>
<representation mediaType="application/xml" element="syncope1:user"/>
<representation mediaType="application/json" element="syncope1:user"/>
</response>
</method>
which is just fine, the latter is instead reported as
<method name="GET" id="list">
<response>
<representation mediaType="application/xml" element="syncope1:users"/>
<representation mediaType="application/json" element="syncope1:user"/>
</response>
</method>
As you can see, representation/@element is different between JSON and
XML, e.g. for XML the value provided via @XMLName is used, while for
JSON it is reported as if the return type was plain 'UserTO' instead of
'List<UserTO>'.
Without @XMLName, element attribute is not even reported for XML.
Moreover, I would expect to find something in the <schema> section of
the WADL for '{http://syncope.apache.org/1.1}users', as [1] seems to
suggest.
Any clue?
TIA
Regards.
