[Resteasy-users] usage question with regard to jboss as 6 w/Weld and JSON

[<Mic...@De...>]

Hi folks,
              I am working on a new project in which we will expose a restful webservice which returns json, and our stack is JBoss AS6, Weld 1.1.0.Final, and we are using RestEasy to provide the REST layer.   I am trying to use the @Produces annotations to return json, and I'm having some luck, but would like to be able to tweak what is returned using either @Json* or JAXB annations.  As it currently stands, these annotations don't seem to be having any effect....


For example, given the following annotated pojo:

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlTransient;


@XmlRootElement(name = "volume")

public class Volume
{
               String name;
               String description;
               long sizeInMB;
               public String getName() {
                              return name;
               }
               public void setName(String name) {
                              this.name = name;
               }
               @XmlTransient
               public String getDescription() {
                              return description;
               }
               public void setDescription(String description) {
                              this.description = description;
               }
               public long getSizeInMB() {
                              return sizeInMB;
               }
               public void setSizeInMB(long sizeInMB) {
                              this.sizeInMB = sizeInMB;
               }
               public Volume(String name, String description, long sizeInMB) {
                              super();
                              this.name = name;
                              this.description = description;
                              this.sizeInMB = sizeInMB;
               }
               public Volume() {
                              super();

               }
}

I would expect a call returning a volume to give me something like:

{ volume: {"name":"Volume with ID: 15","sizeInMB":1500000} }


But in reality it is ignoring the JAXB annotations and providing
{"name":"Volume with ID: 15","description":"This is a sample Volume","sizeInMB":1500000}

Would you expect usage within weld to ignore the annotations?  Is there any way to enable them?

Thanks!
