Description

Alex Hutnik opened SWS-953 and commented

In XmlRootElementPayloadMethodProcessor, supportsRequestPayloadParameter() supports both XmlRootElement-annotated classes and XmlType-annotated classes. However, supportsResponsePayloadReturnType supports only XmlRootElement-annotated classes.

My XSD's types are all named (that is, no anonymous types in my XSD), so their generated-class equivalents are annotated with XmlType, not XmlRootElement. This bug is preventing me from using my return types.


Affects: 2.2.3

Research direction

Start with XmlRootElementPayloadMethodProcessor, comparing supportsResponsePayloadReturnType() with supportsRequestPayloadParameter(). Confirm how XmlType-annotated generated classes are detected, then add coverage for a response return type using XmlType. Done means supported XmlType responses are handled without regressing XmlRootElement responses.
