allow XmlJavaTypeAdapter on entire Collection

[Tomas-Kraus]

Please consider allowing XmlJavaTypeAdapter / XmlAdapter to apply to an entire Collection, not just to individual items inside a Collection. For example:

class Foo {

@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(value=MyListAdapter.class, type=List.class) private List<Bar> bars; }

---

Or in package-info.java:

@XmlJavaTypeAdapters(

{ @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(value=MyCollectionAdapter.class, type=Collection.class), @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(value=MySetAdapter.class, type=Set.class), @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(value=MyListAdapter.class, type=List.class)}

) package com.mycompany.foo;

import java.util.Collection; import java.util.List; import java.util.Set;

---

class MyListAdapter extends XmlAdapter<List, List> {

@Override public List marshal(List v) throws Exception

{ List result = new ArrayList(v); // manipulate the list; maybe filter some elements return result; }

@Override public List unmarshal(List v) throws Exception

{ // do something with the list return v; }

}
