here method

here result

   [   {     "id": "99f516a2-f7ef-4bc9-a627-73981a2fc3ae",     "client": {       "id": "388e16d6-d35e-4f8c-bba5-b1147b824473",       "reseller": null,       "name": "phizzle",       "createddate": 1357554435574,       "address1": "123",       "address2": "",       "city": "san francisco",       "state": "ca",       "postalcode": "80130",       "country": "usa",       "description": "phizzle master client"     },     "name": "gears_animated.gif",     "asseturl": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/asdad/99f516a2-f7ef-4bc9-a627-73981a2fc3ae.gif",     "active": "0",     "width": 141,     "height": 141,     "thumbnailurl": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/dadadsda/99f516a2-f7ef-4bc9-a627-73981a2fc3ae__thumbnail.jpg",     "createddate": 1380927929287,     "filetype": "image/gif",     "category": "images"   } ] 

would prefer result like

   {"bixasset" [   {     "id": "99f516a2-f7ef-4bc9-a627-73981a2fc3ae",     "client": {       "id": "388e16d6-d35e-4f8c-bba5-b1147b824473",       "reseller": null,       "name": "phizzle",       "createddate": 1357554435574,       "address1": "123",       "address2": "",       "city": "san francisco",       "state": "ca",       "postalcode": "80130",       "country": "usa",       "description": "phizzle master client"     },     "name": "gears_animated.gif",     "asseturl": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/adsdadd/99f516a2-f7ef-4bc9-a627-73981a2fc3ae.gif",     "active": "0",     "width": 141,     "height": 141,     "thumbnailurl": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/adadsd/99f516a2-f7ef-4bc9-a627-73981a2fc3ae__thumbnail.jpg",     "createddate": 1380927929287,     "filetype": "image/gif",     "category": "images"   } ] } 

have tried set annotation variable of @xmlrootelement instead of using @jsonrootname? mean:

@xmlrootelement(name = "bixasset")
