Hello,
Well, you just pointed out that the converters are only supposed to
work on an individual element of a collection, and cxf' code is
looking at the param type to see if it is dealing with a collection
target type (which it will create at runtime, as you pointed out), to
which it needs to add these elements. So it basically gets confused
because I've defined my own collection type. It assumes it needs to
create a collection to add elements to, but the elements I create are
my own collection. That's how I end up with
Collection<Collection<Enum>>. Short of cxf checking the actual type of
the target parameter instead of whether it implements the Collection
interface, I don't think there is any way around it?
In other words, what I wanted to do won't work in cxf. :/
Regards,
Christian
