Jackson
=======

Problem: Return lists from the REST API using Jersey results in something like this:

{"user": [{ "firstName" : "Foo1", "lastName" . "Bar1" } , { "firstName": ... }]}

This in not the array that AngularJS wants. It should look like this (no "user" tag at the beginning):

[{ "firstName" : "Foo1", "lastName" . "Bar1" } , { "firstName": ... }]


This site describes the problem: http://statelessprime.blogspot.de/2012/12/jax-rs-as-json-provider-for-angularjs.html

Simplest solution: Using Jackson. Found here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2199453/how-can-i-customize-serialization-of-a-list-of-jaxb-objects-to-json
