[jboss-user] [JBossWS] - Marshall Object List

[bsisson]

I'm trying to marshall a list containing objects into an XML string.  I was able to marshall a single object into an XML string but am struggling on what is needed to do a list?  

I am including an example using JBoss Tools Web Services.  It will query the database and receive a back a list of WebCalendar objects.  If I create a single object and marshall it will work.  However, I need to marshall the list so that it creates multiple entries for each object in the marshalled XML.  If you can advise I would appreciate it.

Here is an example code:

This is the class that will query the database which returns a list of WebPayCalendar objects I then try to marshall the list into an XML string:

  @WebMethod
  public String retrievePsWebPayCalendar()
  {
      try
      {
          /**************************************************************************
           * The following example marshals an object class into an XML string which
           * is returned to the caller.  The object is an entity representing a 
           * row on the database.
           **************************************************************************/
          WebPayCalendarList selectCalendar =  (WebPayCalendarList) Component.getInstance("webPayCalendarList");
          // Retrieve the entire list of web pay calendar dates
          List pc = selectCalendar.getResultList();
          
          // For a test retrieve only the first web calendar date object
          WebPayCalendar wpc = pc.get(0);
          
          // Marshal the calendar information into an XML string and return it
          JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(WebPayCalendar.class);    
          Marshaller marshaller = context.createMarshaller();    
          marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);
          marshaller.marshal(pc, System.out);
          
          return result.getWriter().toString();
          
      }
      catch (Exception e)
      {
          return "Error:  " + e.getMessage();
      }

  }

This is the object Class:

    {
        this.payGroup = payGroup;
    }
    public String getRunId()
    {
        return runId;
    }
    public void setRunId(String runId)
    {
        this.runId = runId;
    }
    public java.util.Date getCheckDt()
    {
        return checkDt;
    }
    public void setCheckDt(java.util.Date checkDt)
    {
        this.checkDt = checkDt;
    }
    public java.util.Date getPayBeginDt()
    {
        return payBeginDt;
    }
    public void setPayBeginDt(java.util.Date payBeginDt)
    {
        this.payBeginDt = payBeginDt;
    }
    public java.util.Date getPayEndDt()
    {

    }
    public void setPayEndDt(java.util.Date payEndDt)
    {
        this.payEndDt = payEndDt;
    }
    public String getPayConfirmRun()
    {
        return payConfirmRun;
    }
    public void setPayConfirmRun(String payConfirmRun)
    {
        this.payConfirmRun = payConfirmRun;
    }
    
}
