Is that mandatory to use @XmlRootElement for JSON responce also in Jersey webservices?
jersey, rest, web-services
Solution
I got alternative solution for this `@XmlRootElement`, if we wanted to generate JSON response with out using `@XmlRootElement` we should go for Jersey Jackson library. Add the below given code in `web.xml` (DD file)
<init-param>
<param-name>com.sun.jersey.api.json.POJOMappingFeature</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
and Jackson API related jar's.
Problem
My code actually contains one resource class and one BEan class it's return type is JSON. Resource Class ``` @Path("/json") public class JSONRetrive { @GET @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON) public JSONT getJson(){ JSONT jsont = new JSONT(); jsont.setJsont("inr"); return jsont; } } ``` /* Is there any Annotation will represent JSON. Do i need to use any other Annotation for this.*/ My Bean class ``` //@XmlRootElement public class JSONT { private String jsont; public String getJsont() { return jsont; } public void setJsont(String jsont) { this.jsont = jsont; } } ``` If i uncomment @XmlRootElement it is working fine is there any other alternative solution for this
