Equal URI templates should use a string comparison as the last step
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-4116
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-4116
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: JAX-RS
Reporter: Sergey Beryozkin
Assignee: Sergey Beryozkin
Fix For: 2.4.7, 2.5.3, 2.6
JAX-RS 1.1 Selection algorithm does not say what needs to be done when 2 URI
templates are equal after 3 checks (number of 1. literals, 2. vars & 3. custom
vars) are done. CXF assumes both are equal candidates, Jersey finishes with the
string comparison.
Note, this 4th step (string comparison) does not make sense in all but few
cases where only custom regular expressions are involved due to the fact that
steps 1-3 are sufficient in most cases and when it needs to be done we are at
the stage where the choice between 2 candidates is completely random... For the
interop & portability purposes, it makes sense to add a string
comparison...JAX-RS 2.0 requesting the clarification in the spec is to be
created too.
