  - canRead
```
public boolean canRead(Class<?> clazz,
                       MediaType mediaType)
```
    Always returns false since Jaxb2CollectionHttpMessageConverter required generic type information in order to read a Collection.
    Specified by:
    canRead in interface HttpMessageConverter<T extends Collection>
    Overrides:
    canRead in class AbstractHttpMessageConverter<T extends Collection>
    Parameters:
    clazz - the class to test for readability
    mediaType - the media type to read (can be null if not specified); typically the value of a Content-Type header.
    Returns:
    true if readable; false otherwise
  - canRead
```
public boolean canRead(Type type,
                       Class<?> contextClass,
                       MediaType mediaType)
```
    Indicates whether the given type can be read by this converter. This method should perform the same checks than HttpMessageConverter.canRead(Class, MediaType) with additional ones related to the generic type.
    Jaxb2CollectionHttpMessageConverter can read a generic Collection where the generic type is a JAXB type annotated with XmlRootElement or XmlType.
    Specified by:
    canRead in interface GenericHttpMessageConverter<T extends Collection>
    Parameters:
    type - the (potentially generic) type to test for readability
    contextClass - a context class for the target type, for example a class in which the target type appears in a method signature (can be null)
    mediaType - the media type to read, can be null if not specified. Typically the value of a Content-Type header.
    Returns:
    true if readable; false otherwise
  - canWrite
```
public boolean canWrite(Class<?> clazz,
                        MediaType mediaType)
```
    Always returns false since Jaxb2CollectionHttpMessageConverter does not convert collections to XML.
    Specified by:
    canWrite in interface HttpMessageConverter<T extends Collection>
    Overrides:
    canWrite in class AbstractHttpMessageConverter<T extends Collection>
    Parameters:
    clazz - the class to test for writability
    mediaType - the media type to write (can be null if not specified); typically the value of an Accept header.
    Returns:
    true if writable; false otherwise
  - canWrite
```
public boolean canWrite(Type type,
                        Class<?> clazz,
                        MediaType mediaType)
```
    Always returns false since Jaxb2CollectionHttpMessageConverter does not convert collections to XML.
    Specified by:
    canWrite in interface GenericHttpMessageConverter<T extends Collection>
    Parameters:
    type - the (potentially generic) type to test for writability (can be null if not specified)
    clazz - the source object class to test for writability
    mediaType - the media type to write (can be null if not specified); typically the value of an Accept header.
    Returns:
    true if writable; false otherwise
  - supports
```
protected boolean supports(Class<?> clazz)
```
    Description copied from class: AbstractHttpMessageConverter
    Indicates whether the given class is supported by this converter.
    Specified by:
    supports in class AbstractHttpMessageConverter<T extends Collection>
    Parameters:
    clazz - the class to test for support
    Returns:
    true if supported; false otherwise
  - readFromSource
```
protected T readFromSource(Class<? extends T> clazz,
                           HttpHeaders headers,

    type - the (potentially generic) type of object to return. This type must have previously been passed to the canRead method of this interface, which must have returned true.
    contextClass - a context class for the target type, for example a class in which the target type appears in a method signature (can be null)
    inputMessage - the HTTP input message to read from

    Write an given object to the given output message.
    Specified by:
    write in interface GenericHttpMessageConverter<T extends Collection>
    Parameters:
    t - the object to write to the output message. The type of this object must have previously been passed to the canWrite method of this interface, which must have returned true.
    type - the (potentially generic) type of object to write. This type must have previously been passed to the canWrite method of this interface, which must have returned true. Can be null if not specified.
    contentType - the content type to use when writing. May be null to indicate that the default content type of the converter must be used. If not null, this media type must have previously been passed to the canWrite method of this interface, which must have returned true.
    outputMessage - the message to write to
    Throws:
    IOException - in case of I/O errors
    HttpMessageNotWritableException - in case of conversion errors
  - writeToResult

    Specified by:
    writeToResult in class AbstractXmlHttpMessageConverter<T extends Collection>
    Parameters:
    t - the object to write to the output message
    headers - the HTTP output headers
    result - the HTTP output body
    Throws:
    IOException - in case of I/O errors
  - createXmlInputFactory
```
protected XMLInputFactory createXmlInputFactory()
