[BUG] using xml:wrapped:false does not generate the correct annotation

[tom-mayer]

Hey,

in the documentation https://swagger.io/docs/specification/data-models/representing-xml/ here it says that you can represent unwrapped lists in xml with using the xml:wrapped:false in the openapi yaml. I am using the JavaSpring generator. The xml:atttribute:[true|false] and xml:name seem to work fine, generating the correct @JacksonXmlProperty values.

However using xml:wrapped:false does not change the generated model. Jackson-Xml uses wrapping by default, so if this is set, a @JacksonXmlElementWrapper(useWrapping = false) should be rendered over the property to make xmls like that parsable.

Looking at the pojo.mustache @JacksonXmlElementWrapper is also not in there. Should be around line 27.

My question is, is this really a bug / not yet done or do I just miss something.

Any news here? :-/
@tom-mayer could you find a workaround (beside adding the annotation manually)?

Thanks!

Hey @thiko . No couldn't find a good workaround here. We were in the lucky spot that we could change the API to return wrapped lists,... but that was not a very satisfying solution and for sure not applicable if you don't own the API,.. even then it's not really a preferable solution.

Cheers

hi @tom-mayer, thanks for your response!
great that you were able/allowed to change the API. Unfortunately, thats not possible for us. The "calling system" is fix and we really need to serve the expected output.
Our current workaround is: generating the model, copy the files to another place, add the custom annotations, deactivate the model creation, delete the generated files and work with the customized "copies". Sounds stupid and.. well.. it is! ;-)

Unfortunately, I am also facing the same issue with the Open API generator. Is there a planned fix for this?

Same here, it seems that one of my deserialization does not work properly because of this bug. Looking forward to this fix also.

A little googeling shows that swagger codegen has JacksonXmlElementWrapper annotation generation https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/blob/master/modules/swagger-codegen/src/main/resources/JavaSpring/pojo.mustache#L50
but openapi tools does not https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/blob/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/main/resources/JavaSpring/pojo.mustache#L48

Currently workaround for me was to override two mustache files JavaSpring/model.mustache and JavaSpring/pojo.mustache to add wrapper import and JacksonXmlElementWrapper annotation too these files respectively.

If you're interested, I can provide a Pull Request that generates the wrapper annotations for the JavaSpring generator and fixes some other issues in the same area.

Hi, this topic is a bit old but i'm very interested

@chschu that'd be dope and highly appreciated 🙏

That would probably solve #5078 and #5764 as well.
