How to manually map Enum fields in JAX-RS

Question

How can I map a simple JSON object {\"status\" : \"successful\"} automaticly map to my Java Enum within JAX-RS?

public enum Status {
    SUCESSFUL          


        

Answer 1

The following JAXB annotations should do it. (I tested using Jettison but I've not tried other providers):

@XmlType(name = "status")
@XmlEnum
public enum Status {
    @XmlEnumValue(value = "successful")
    SUCESSFUL, 
    @XmlEnumValue(value = "error")
    ERROR;
}
