JAXBElement<T> should be converted in type T

[sanja224]

Example:
If I have property of type JAXBElement I want that to be converted in 'Context' type instead of 'any' in typescript.
jsonLibrary is already set to jaxb. Maybe I could write something in customTypeMappings but I don't know what.

@sanja224 customTypeMappings is not solution for this because it doesn't work with generics.

I think it would be good if typescript-generator could handle JAXBElements directly.
Do you have some example (Java class -> TypeScript interface)? Is really just needed to "unwrap" the T type in all cases?

[sanja224]

Yes, I just need the T type unwraped in all cases. I have many examples. Here's one:

These are the properties in the java class

@XmlElement(name = "ExternalReference")
    protected String externalReference;
@XmlElementRef(name = "UserInformation", type = JAXBElement.class, required = false)
    protected JAXBElement<UserType> userInformation;
@XmlElementRef(name = "Source", type = JAXBElement.class, required = false)
    protected JAXBElement<EndPointType> source;
@XmlElementRef(name = "AdditionalContextInfo", type = JAXBElement.class, required = false)
    protected JAXBElement<AdditionalContextType> additionalContextInfo;

This is the output:

 externalReference: String,
 userInformation: any,
 source: any,
 additionalContextInfo: any

This is how the output should look like:

 externalReference: String,
 userInformation: UserType,
 source: EndPointType,
 additionalContextInfo: AdditionalContextType

EDIT: code format

[vojtechhabarta]

I committed support for JAXBElement<T>. For your example Java input following TypeScript interface is generated (note also casing):

interface ClassWithJAXBElements {
    ExternalReference: string;
    UserInformation: UserType;
    Source: EndPointType;
    AdditionalContextInfo: AdditionalContextType;
}

Could you please check it if it does what's expected?

Yes, it works great.
Thanks :))
