I have a MySQL database with a few tables in it and have developed an API that uses hibernate to manage the data in the database. Everything is fine from a hibernate/database perspective.

My problem lies in taking the objects that represent rows in a database and passing them back to the client via a SOAP message. I was wondering if there is any guidance that I can follow to help me as I am having problems with the JAXB marshalling of the data.

I understand that this might be somewhat off-topic, but I am having problems trying to figure this out and I am sure I'm not the first person to do this.

Basically, what I want to do is to have a web service that can be called and the service would return a java.util.List<MyEntity> of objects that represent a specific query in the database.

I am using Glassfish V2-ur2, hibernate 3.2.6

Thank you.
