When I call a particular restful service method, which is built using CXF, I get the following error, anyone know why and how to resolve it?
JAXBException occurred : class com.octory.ws.dto.ProfileDto nor any of its super class is known to this context...
Following are the service method and relevant DTOs:
public class Service {
public Response results() {
Collection<ProfileDto> profilesDto = new ArrayList<ProfileDto>();
...
SearchResultDto srd = new SearchResultDto();
srd.setResultEntities(profilesDto); // Setting profilesDto collection as resultEntities
srd.setResultSize(resultSize);
return Response.ok(srd).build();
}
}
SearchResultDto:
@XmlRootElement(name="searchResult")
public class SearchResultDto {
private Collection resultEntities;
private int resultSize;
public SearchResultDto() { }
@XmlElementWrapper(name="resultEntities")
public Collection getResultEntities() {
return resultEntities;
}
public void setResultEntities(Collection resultEntities) {
this.resultEntities = resultEntities;
}
public int getResultSize() {
return resultSize;
}
public void setResultSize(int resultSize) {
this.resultSize = resultSize;
}
}
ProfileDto:
@XmlRootElement(name="profile")
public class ProfileDto {
...
...
public ProfileDto() { }
...
}
Your ProfileDto
class is not referenced in SearchResultDto
. Try adding @XmlSeeAlso(ProfileDto.class)
to SearchResultDto
.
