Rest endpoint not properly converting the objects into Json
Hi
While i worked on the cli issue [1], found that json which received from
the Rest endpoint is not backward compatible with the object again. Eg:
Rest call is:
@GET
@Path("/partition")
@Produces("application/json")
@Consumes("application/json")
@AuthorizationAction("/permission/protected/manage/monitor/tenants")
public Partition[] getPartitions () throws RestAPIException {
return ServiceUtils.getAvailablePartitions();
}
The Partition Pojo is:
@XmlRootElement
public class Partition {
public String id;
public int partitionMin;
public int partitionMax;
public String provider;
public List<PropertyBean> property;
}
This should result as:
{"partition":[{"id":"P2","partitionMin":0,"partitionMax":0,"provider":"ec2","property":
*[*{"name":"region","value":"ap-southeast-1"}*]*}]}
but the actual response is when getPartitions from SM without the array
type for the property:
{"partition":[{"id":"P2","partitionMin":0,"partitionMax":0,"provider":"ec2","property":{"name":"region","value":"ap-southeast-1"}}]}
So that the parser failed in cli to parse this string into Object. When i
tested it with more than one property, it takes the property as an array.
Did anyone observer such behavior? How can we handle this?

Hi reka,
will switching to some other json provider like Jackson solves the issue...
? I prefer config files to be simple.. :)
However will there be any other side effects..

Re: Rest endpoint not properly converting the objects into Json
Posted by Reka Thirunavukkarasu <re...@wso2.com>.
Hi all,
I was able to fix the issue by referring the suggestion as [1]. In our
Restendpoint webapp, i'm using the jsonProvider as following:
<bean id="jsonProvider"
class="org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.json.JSONProvider">
<property name="serializeAsArray" value="true"/>
<property name="arrayKeys">
<list>
<value>partitions</value>
<value>property</value>
<value>hostNames</value>
<value>memberMap</value>
<value>portMap</value>
<value>partitionGroup</value>
<value>partition</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
The limitation here is that, we have to list down all the individual array
from all the bean classes where we use list or array.
Do you think that it is better to move to another better json provider?
