Question

I have developed webservices using CXF framework. We are exposing all our Database operation(Service Layer) methods as a web service methods. We are using Hibernate for persistence.

For example consider I have one Java POJO class(for hibernate mapping)
named CountryEntity.java with the following
properties(ID,Name,ModifiedDate).

Inside my service layer i have two methods called

@WebMethod
public CountryEntity createCountryEntity(CountryEntity countryEntity);

@WebMethod
public CountryEntity getCountryEntityById(long id);

Based on JAX-WS documentation i understand that it is using JAXB to do
the databinding. When user calling my webservice for creating the new
Country record i dont want the user to send the Id value and Modified
Date value . So what i done is i annotated the propeties(id,modified
date) inside the CountryEntity.java with @XmlTransistent annotation.
So that operation is working fine.

But when i call getCountryEntityById web service method its returning
CountryEntity object but that object dont have the values for ID and
Modified Date property. I understand because of XMLTransistent
annotation the values not getting Marshalling.

Can i change my method createCountryEntity taking parameters like
(String countryName) , so that i no need to include XMLTransistent
annotation in my entity classes.? or Anyother solution for this?

Please help me . Thanks in advance

Since no answer i go with parameters instead of sending an object as parameter. Thank you.
