["Sergey Beryozkin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3617?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13068919#comment-13068919 ] 

Sergey Beryozkin commented on CXF-3617:
---------------------------------------

Sorry - saw this issue but got sidetracked, 

You can register Jackson provider or xStream one (as suggested at StackOverflow page you linked to) when creating WebClient.
Do you agree this is a non-fix issue, but mainly a configuration issue ?

> Other competing libraries (such as Restlet) support automatic type mapping out of the box via XStream and Jackson. Given CXF's compliance to JAX-RS it would be helpful if this boilerplate type code were given out of the box too.
