SerializeAsArray feature does not work if a list contains a single element only if its XML representation has attributes

@XmlRootElement(name = "apple")
public static class Apple {

private String name;

public Apple() {

}

public Apple(String n)
{ name = n; }

public void setName(String n) { name = n; }

public String getName()
{ return name; }

}

@XmlRootElement(name = "response")
@XmlSeeAlso(
{Apple.class}

)
public static class CRUDResponse {

private int total = 1;
private List entityList;

public CRUDResponse() {

}

public CRUDResponse(T entity)
{ entityList = new ArrayList(); entityList.add(entity); }

public void setEntityList(List list)
{ entityList = list; }

public List getEntityList()
{ return entityList; }

public void setTotal(int num)
{ total = num; }

public int getTotal()
{ return total; }

}

serializing new CRUDResponse(new Apple("golden delicious")) with an array key pointing to 'entity list' and a namespace map being set to

Map<String, String> namespaceMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
namespaceMap.put("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance", "xsi");

produces :

{"entityList":
{"@xsi.type":"apple","name":"golden delicious"}

,"total":1}

Wrapping a jettison writer with a custom one which blocks the attributes produces the correct output :

{"entityList":[
{"name":"golden delicious"}

],"total":1}
