moxy cxf spring inheritance

Question

i'm having a stack trace trying to use inheritance with moxy, somebody can give some advice. Bellow some abstract of the java code and the stack error. Thanks in advance!!!

Bussines objects

public abstract class ContactInfo {

}

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;

@XmlRootElement(name="address")
public class Address extends ContactInfo {

    private String street;

    public String getStreet() {
        return street;
    }

    public void setStreet(String street) {
        this.street = street;
    }

}

Note: I'm the EclipseLink JAXB (MOXy) lead and a member of the JAXB (JSR-222) expert group.

I will help you work through this issue.

JSON Provider

The first issue is that it appears as though MOXyJsonProvider is not being picked up and CXF is defaulting to a default JAXB based JSON binding. This is resulting in a JAXB Ri exception being thrown.

Caused by: javax.ws.rs.WebApplicationException: com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.IllegalAnnotationsException: 1 counts of IllegalAnnotationExceptions Invalid @XmlElementRef : Type "class packagename.payment.ContactInfo" or any of its subclasses are not known to this context. this problem is related to the following location: at public packagename.payment.ContactInfo packagename.payment.Customer.getContactInfo() at packagename.payment.Customer

at org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.client.AbstractClient.writeBody(AbstractClient.java:401)
... 30 more

Subclasses

You need to let MOXy know about the subclasses. One way to do this is through the @XmlSeeAlso annotation.

@XmlSeeAlso({PhoneNumber.class, Address.class})
public abstract class ContactInfo {

}

UPDATE

I checked in a fix to MOXyJsonProvider in the EclipseLink 2.4.2 and 2.5.0 streams to fix a problem when running in RESTEasy. This may or may not be related to the issue you are seeing with CXF. The fix will be available in the nightly builds starting February 22, 2013 from the following location:

http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/downloads/nightly.php

hi Blaise, thanks by the answer, i tried with @XmlSeeAlso({PhoneNumber.class, Address.class}) and didn't work, i'll try again with the nigthly version and give you a feed back when i have the result of my test. Thanks by your time — sjdms265, Mar 05 '13 at 20:47
