[JAX-RS] Customize wrapper pluralization

Hi,

i just migrated to CXF and I need to know how i can customize the
pluralization done by CXF to obtain the wrapper name when returning a
collection. For example, "country" is pluralized to "countrys" and i need it
to be "countries".
Please see my use case below.

@Path("/countries")
public class SupportedCountriesResource {
    @GET
    List<Country> list() {
       ...
    }
}

@XmlRootElement(name = "country")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Country {
    @XmlElement(name = "code")
    private String code;

    @XmlElement(name = "name")
    private String name;

    ...
}

I need to have the following xml and json (using
org.codehaus.jackson.jaxrs.JacksonJaxbJsonProvider) outputs :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<countries>
   <country>
      <code>AF</code>
      <name>Afghanistan</name>
   </country>
   <country>
      <code>AL</code>
      <name>Albania</name>
   </country>
   ...
</countries>

[
   {
      "code":"AF",
      "name":"Afghanistan"
   },
   {
      "code":"AL",
      "name":"Albania"
   }
   ...
]

Thanks for your help,

Fabien

That's exactly what i was looking for, i missed it in the doc.

Thanks a lot Sergey !

@Jose : yes it's also work but there are some drawbacks :
1/ we lose the explicit method signature (i.e. we don't know that Countries
wraps a collection )
2/ it also adds a wrapper in the json output which is not acceptable here.

Anyway, thanks for your help !

Not really, it is an explicit collection so the wrapper needs to be 
customized,
When using JSONProvider, see
http://cxf.apache.org/docs/jax-rs-data-bindings.html#JAX-RSDataBindings-JSONsupport, 
"Handling Explicit collections"

HTH, Sergey

Hello:

I guess that you need to return a Countries object with
@XmlRootElement(name = "countries"), don't you ?
