[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (CXF-2862) Provide an annotation to allow customisation of the elements declared in the request & response representation in the auto-generated wadl

Hi Sergey,

Thanks for the response. Setting the useJaxbContextForQnames property of the WadlGenerator to false resulted in an empty grammars element in the wadl, so I removed it again (having also tried it in combination with an @XmlName annotation). 
Adding a namespace to the @XmlRootElement annotation did result in an element attribute being added to the representation. This is good when the method accepts or returns a jaxb annotated object (thanks), but does't work if the method being described returns a Response object instead of a jaxb annotated object. I have modified the patch so that it takes account of the namespace in @XmlRootElement:

Jaxb annotated bean:

    @XmlRootElement(name = "myBeanName", namespace = "myPrefix")
    public class MyXmlBean {
        //...
    }

Annotated service method:

    @POST
    @WadlElement(request = MyXmlBean.class, response = MyXmlBean.class)
    public Response createMyXmlBean(@Context MessageContext context, MyXmlBean bean) {
        return Response.ok(bean, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_TYPE).build(); 
    }

generated WADL:

    Hi Sergey,

Adding a namespace to the @XmlRootElement annotation did result in an element attribute being added to the representation. This is good when the method returns a jaxb annotated object (thanks), but won't work if the method being described returns a Response object instead of a jaxb annotated object, and doesn't appear to work for objects in the request body. I (will) have modified the patch so that it takes account of the namespace in @XmlRootElement:

Jaxb annotated bean:

    @XmlRootElement(name = "myBeanName", namespace = "myPrefix")
    public class MyXmlBean {
        //...
    }

Annotated service method:

    @POST
    @WadlElement(request = MyXmlBean.class, response = MyXmlBean.class)
    public Response createMyXmlBean(@Context MessageContext context, MyXmlBean bean) {
        return Response.ok(bean, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_TYPE).build(); 
    }

> In using the auto-generated wadl for jax-rs rest services in cxf (2.2.9) I have found that all my jaxb annotated xml beans are defined in the grammars section of the wadl, but they are not referenced as elements in the representation element of methods in the resources section. Indeed it would be difficult to automatically determine the correct element for methods that return a Response object containing a jaxb annotated object instead of  returning the object itself.
> To overcome this I suggest creating a WadlElement annotation that allows the method to be annotated with the class accepted in the request and returned by the response even where it is not the declared return type of the method.
> For example, the following method declaration in a Rest service currently produces an auto-generated wadl as shown below:
> // method from jax-rs service:
> 	@POST
>  	@Path("/")
>  	@Produces("application/xml")
>  	@Consumes("application/xml")
> 	public Response doStuff(@Context MessageContext context, MyXmlBean bean) {
>  	 	return Response.ok(bean, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_TYPE).build();
>  	 }
> <!-- snippet of auto-generated wadl: -->
>     <resource path="/">
>       <method name="POST">
>         <request>
>           <representation mediaType="application/xml" />
>         </request>
>         <response>
>           <representation mediaType="application/xml" />
>         </response>
>       </method>
> Using the annotation, this would become:
> // method from jax-rs service using annotation:
> 	@POST
>  	@Path("/")
>  	@Produces("application/xml")
>  	@Consumes("application/xml")
> 	@WadlElement(request = MyXmlBean.class, response = MyXmlBean.class)
> 	public Response doStuff(@Context MessageContext context, MyXmlBean bean) {
>  	 	return Response.ok(bean, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_TYPE).build();
>  	 }
> <!-- snippet of auto-generated wadl usign annotation. Note that the element "myXmlBean" is defined in the grammars section of the wadl: -->
>     <resource path="/">
>       <method name="POST">
>         <request>
>           <representation mediaType="application/xml" element="myXmlBean" />
>         </request>
>         <response>
>           <representation mediaType="application/xml" element="myXmlBean" />
