[Resteasy-users] Client Framework value lost after unmarshaling

[Borut B. <bor...@gm...>]

Hello,

I hope someone reads this, as the list seem a bit deserted, but anyways...

Yesterday I tried to use the client side of the RestEasy framework. The
interface has a method:

    @PUT
    @Path("document/autoincrement")
    @Consumes("application/xml")
    BaseClientResponse<String> insertPointOfInterest(PoiDocument
poiDocument);

and the call to some (Jersey) rest service looks like:

        String restServerServiceUrl = "
http://my.jersey.server/rest/serviceFoo/v1/";
        NSSClientService client =
ProxyFactory.create(NSSClientService.class, restServerServiceUrl);

        PoiDocument poiDocument = new PoiDocument("Parkirišče", "90",
390262.85133115170, 42240.33558245482);

        BaseClientResponse<String> response =
client.insertPointOfInterest(poiDocument);
        assert response.getResponseStatus() == Response.Status.OK;

        // Expected result
        //<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
standalone="yes"?><insertedRecord><record>14</record></insertedRecord>

        logger.info("Returned: " + response.getEntity());

And the logger prints:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
standalone="yes"?><insertedRecord><record>14</record></insertedRecord>

Kind of expected.

But I want an object not a string, so I can easely assert the values
returned. The interface:

    @PUT
    @Path("document/autoincrement")
    @Consumes("application/xml")
    BaseClientResponse<InsertedResponse> insertPointOfInterest(PoiDocument
poiDocument);

Instead of String there is now a InsertedResponse class which looks like:

@XmlRootElement(name="insertedRecord")
public class InsertedResponse extends ResponseResult{

    String insertedRecord;

    public InsertedResponse(int insertedRecord) {
        this.insertedRecord = Integer.toString(insertedRecord);
    }

    public InsertedResponse(){
        insertedRecord = "";
    }

    @XmlElement(name="record")
    public String getInsertedRecords(){
        return insertedRecord;
    }

    public void add(int recNo) {
        insertedRecord = Integer.toString(recNo);
    }
}

...and his superclass:

@XmlRootElement(name = "result")
public abstract class ResponseResult {

    protected String getClearString(String string) {

        if (string != null) {
            return Constants.removeInvalidXMLCharacters(string);

        }
        return "";
    }
}

Now, when I change the client call also to:

        BaseClientResponse<InsertedResponse> response =
client.insertPointOfInterest(poiDocument);
        logger.info("Returned: " +
response.getEntity().getInsertedRecords());

I get an empty string instead of some value.

So, the question is - where did the value of <record> go? It should print a
number, like 14 in the above example.

Kind regards,
Borut
