Supprot for wrapped/unwrapped styles in Mapped convention for JSON

[Chaitanya-10]

Hi,

I have a JAX-RS method which takes an Employee object as a param. Employee class is given below.

@XmlRootElement
public class Employee {
    private String name;

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

Unmarshalling of the JSON

{"employee":{"name":"abc"}}

works fine and gives an Employee object, but if the JSON input is

{"name":"abc"}

unmarshalling fails.

Does CXF support both wrapped and unwrapped styles in Mapped convention for JSON?
If yes what should be done to make the second case work?

Thank you
Chaithanya.

Hi

I'm not sure yet - it appears JSONProvider may need to be updated to handle unwrapped cases.
Does anyone know, is it already possible to do somehow in CXF ?

Perhaps one workaround is to register a RequestFilter which will replace an InputStream on the inbound message with another stream which will present

{"name":"abc"}

as

{"employee":{"name":"abc"}}

for small streams (JSON ones are probably all quite small) this should work quite well. what do you think ?

cheers, Sergey

In fact, I can probably update JSON provider to do it. If it is set to operate in 'unwrapped' mode then it will append a class name to the stream, will do it shortly
