jackson-module-jaxb-annotations: can't use both @XmlElementWrapper and @XmlElement #213

Description

@alexlitovsky

Migrating an application from resteasy-jettison-provider to resteasy-jackson2-provider, but need to retain the JSON format. Can't configure JaxbAnnotationIntrospector to properly handle the case of @XmlElementWrapper + @XmlElement together. Depending on MapperFeature.USE_WRAPPER_NAME_AS_PROPERTY_NAME, it either uses one or the other, but not both. Jettison's default behavior is to use both.

Example:

@XmlRootElement(name = "Parent")
public class Parent {

	private List<Child> children = new LinkedList<>();

	@XmlElementWrapper(name = "Children")
	@XmlElement(name = "Child")
	public List<Child> getChildren() {
		return children;
	}

	public void setChildren(List<Child> children) {
		this.children = children;
	}
}

Using Jettison:

{"Parent":{"Children":{"Child":[{"Value":1},{"Value":2}]}}}

Using JaxbAnnotationIntrospector with MapperFeature.USE_WRAPPER_NAME_AS_PROPERTY_NAME enabled:

{"Parent":{"Children":[{"Value":"1"},{"Value":"2"}]}}

Using JaxbAnnotationIntrospector with MapperFeature.USE_WRAPPER_NAME_AS_PROPERTY_NAME disabled:

{"Parent":{"Child":[{"Value":"1"},{"Value":"2"}]}}
