未找到响应类 ArrayList 的消息正文编写器

Question

While I am trying to return List its throwing No message body writer has been found for response class ArrayList.

I have code as follows:

@POST 
@Path("/{scope}/{application}/tables")
@Produces("application/xml")
public List<String> getTableNames(@PathParam("scope") String scope,
    @PathParam("application") String application, Request request) {

    // For example, I am returning a list of String
    return new ArrayList<String>(4);
}

Please help me. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

To return a list, best wrap it into a container annotated @XmlRootElement and give that container your list as a field, annotated as @XmlElement .

Like so:

@XmlRootElement
public class Container {
    @XmlElement
    public List yourlist;
}

Answer 2

看到这个 ，它的JAXB给你带来了问题，它不知道如何解组/编组List。

Answer 3

I've solved it using JacksonJaxbJsonProvider. No Java code needs to be modified. Just few changes in Spring context.xml and Maven pom.xml , see https://stackoverflow.com/a/30777172/1245231

Answer 4

To avoid the wrapping, one can use Jackson. On how to do it, you can follow my answer for a similar question.

Answer 5

I have added the List to existing object of the project scope of domain layer.

It was more contextual for project and also worked out-of-the box: no needed to test XmlRootElement, but add the test data+logic for List of existing test case for that object.

Having both org.codehaus.jackson and com.fasterxml.jackson dependencies in a same project will cause this No message body writer issue irrespective of annotations.

In my case, the Bean was marshal'd by com.fasterxml.jackson -> jackson-jaxrs-json-provider and unmarshall'd by org.codehaus.jackson -> jackson-jaxrs

So removing / updating all the references from org.codehaus.jackson to com.fasterxml.jackson fixed this issue.

I have updated it in cxf-servlet.xml, pom.xml and in all java class imports.

pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-rt-rs-extension-providers</artifactId>
    <version>3.5.2</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
     <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs</groupId>
     <artifactId>jackson-jaxrs-json-provider</artifactId>
     <version>2.13.4</version>
</dependency>

Provider in cxf-servlet.xml

<jaxrs:providers>
   <bean class="com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs.json.JacksonJsonProvider" />
</jaxrs:providers>

Answer 7

尝试使用GenericEntity。

Response.ok(new GenericEntity<List<String>>(yourCollectionOfStrings) {}).build();

Answer 8

Add this Maven dependency:

<init-param>
    <param-name>jaxrs.providers</param-name>
    <param-value>org.codehaus.jackson.jaxrs.JacksonJaxbJsonProvider</param-value>
</init-param>
