At the moment PathParams are assumed to be Strings. 
It's worth noting that until now the contributions to CXF JAX-RS were focused 
on making it more functional, that is, for 80% of typical cases to work. 
For ex, as far as PathParams are concerned, the spec mandates that if a class 
(like Long) has valueOf(String) then this method need to be used (or if it has 
a constructor accepting String). We basically ignored things like that until 
now as the lack of support for such things would not be a blocker and focused 
on making sure that Uri Templating works, subresources work, etc. For ex, a 
simple workaround would be to have String as a type of the path param and then 
do Long.valueOf in the code. 

At this stage of its lifecycle, CXf JAXRS needs a bit of polishing (for ex, 
superclasses are not currently checked for @Path, Request impl does not support 
IfModifiedSince and Variants, UriBuilderImpl is not complete). I'm going to 
update the documentation and list few tasks which I would encourage CXF JAX-RS 
users to consider taking on to help to push CXF JAXRS implementation further.

As I promised earlier I'll have a look at at a proxy issue soon (possibly these 
weekends), and I will probably fix this problem as well, as it's a really 
simple one to deal with...

Cheers, Sergey
