Description

Let's say we want to create a group via the REST API using curl.

req.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><ns2:group xmlns:ns2="http://syncope.apache.org/2.0"><auxClasses/><realm>/</realm><resources/><type>GROUP</type><adynMembershipConds/><name>boss</name><typeExtensions/></ns2:group>

This works fine:

curl -u admin:password -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/xml' -d @req.xml http://localhost:9080/syncope/rest/groups

However, when you specify application/xml las the accept header, the group gets created, but there is a problem in marshalling the response:

curl -u admin:password -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/xml' -H 'Accept: application/xml' -d @req.xml http://localhost:9080/syncope/rest/groups

> JAXBException occurred : 1 counts of IllegalAnnotationExceptions.

Looking in the logs I see:

16:55:01.014 ERROR org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.JAXRSUtils - Problem with writing the data, class org.apache.syncope.common.lib.to.ProvisioningResult, ContentType: application/xml
