[Resteasy-developers] Changes to JAXBProviders

[Ryan J. M. <ry...@da...>]

I just opened:

https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RESTEASY-82

Currently, our JAXBProvider does not handle classed which are  
generated from an existing XML Schema by XJC. To resolve this, I have  
refactored the JAXBProvider into a number of more specialized providers:

JAXBContextCache:
A shared class for all JAXB providers to cache the various  
JAXBContexts in use

JAXBXmlRootEntityProvider :
basically the same as our current JAXBProvider

JAXBXmlTypeProvider:
Generated classes won't have the @XmlRootEntity annotation on them and  
therefore will be ignored.

JAXBElementProvider:
A JAXB provider for JAXBElement classes.

With the number of classes here, I'm considering creating a jaxb  
subpackage under:

org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.providers

Thoughts?

I have already got most of this done and will be committing changes by  
next Monday. Please let me know if you see any issues with these  
changes. On a related note; we may also want to consider similar  
changes for the JSON providers as well as this issue will affect this  
provider also.
