No message body writer has been found for response class ArrayList
cxfrs, java, web-services
Solution
To return a list, best wrap it into a container annotated `@XmlRootElement` and give that container your list as a field, annotated as `@XmlElement`.
Like so:
@XmlRootElement
public class Container {
@XmlElement
public List yourlist;
}
Problem
