I tried to use Map as a return type in one of my web service methods but I got a JAXB error stating that it does not support Map because it's an interface.
So I added an adapter for the Map but it gets ignored. Is it because JBossWS 1.2.1 GA does not support JAXB annotations on its classes? Do you know?
@Stateless
@WebService()
@Local(IHelloWorldService.class)
@Remote(IHelloWorldService.class)
@SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT, use = SOAPBinding.Use.LITERAL, parameterStyle = SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.WRAPPED)
@XmlRootElement(name="HelloWorldBean")
public class HelloWorldBean
{
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(MapAdapter.class)
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(CourseListAdapter.class)
public void getMap(Map<String,Course> map)
{
}
}
class CourseListAdapter extends XmlAdapter<Course[],Map<String,Course>> {
public Map<String,Course> unmarshal( Course[] value ) {
Map<String,Course> r = new HashMap<String,Course>();
for( Course c : value )
r.put(c.id,c);
return r;
}
public Course[] marshal( Map<String,Course> value ) {
return value.values().toArray(new Course[value.size()]);
}
}
Am I doing something wrong here?
